Legends: source?

edit

It's not right to have these "legends" on Wikipedia unless we show exactly where they were published. I know that in ordinary life, legends have always spread by word of mouth, but not here.

They also seem to not be told very well – the meaning seems mixed up – for example the man being told to wash in the sacred spring. If he had known there was a sacred spring, that would presumably have been the first thing he would try. But if this was the story of a non-sacred spring BECOMING sacred because of the events of the legend, it would start to make sense. TooManyFingers (talk) 16:17, 10 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
