“Bonnie the Bunny’s adventure to the Fountain of Youth” was written by Steve Adams, based on the tales from explorers who traveled the world in search of the Fountain of Youth. The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring which allegedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted around the world for thousands of years, appearing in the writings back to the 12th century. Stories of similar waters also featured prominently among the people of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration; they spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini. Based on these many legends, explorers and adventurers looked for the elusive Fountain of Youth or some other remedy to aging, generally associated with magic waters. These waters might have been a river, a spring or any other water-source said to reverse the aging process. The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, when it became associated with the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, the first Governor of Puerto Rico. Ponce de León was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth when he traveled to Florida in 1513.
