Giants in Fairy Tales
The second and the third examples, Jack and the beanstalk and Jack the giant-killer, under the first bloodthirsty, fast characteristic amaze me with the overlap in their titles.
It's like the overlap between the Snow White fairy tale and the ...

Pinto Thoroughbred Race Horses
Dominant White (DW) has since been renamed White Spotting. It initially appears as a mutation, but after that it will be passed on. There are several different mutations that cause this colour, with at least six present in Thoroughbreds.

It's interesting that your teacher mentioned you as a "dreamer" to your mother.
What behavior or what speech motivated that teacher noting that to your mother?

Walter Crane: His Art and Life through Illustrations
Thank you for your comment Sep. 16, 2023, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Can Christians Believe in Evolution?
You have made a good point. "In your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday come and gone, no more than a watch in the night." Says the psalmist.
