The problem with Welsh spelling is that it looks plainly impossible to eyes accustomed to reading English. We just can’t imagine the alphabet working that way.

In fact I was just recently trying to remember that book from my childhood. (My 11 year old son had remarked that he was so thirsty, he could drink an ocean.) Thanks for that memory. (I'm getting to that age where stuff that happened to me 35-40 years ago is like yesterday, and the stuff I did yesterday is long-forgotten already.) fbc Yes, Judy, I’ve heard of it.

Each of the brothers has a special talent: one could swallow the sea, one could stretch and stretch and stretch his legs to make himself taller, one could not be burned, one could hold his breath forever, one had an iron neck.
