If you have two or more, you have a brood, with its attendant noise and unpredictability. Three means they are not afraid to go to restaurants, or the library, or movies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3) Listening to the song “Three is a Magic Number” invariably makes the custodian of this trio cry when they get to the part “A man and a woman had a little baby…yes, they did…there were three in the family…and that's a magic number.”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4) They look super on mantelpiece, shelf or a chest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant, that last point. This is one happy family.","brand":"Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52562591252760,"sku":"terrapins","price":395.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5800\/5784\/files\/supersize1_68bb53f3-7611-4454-baef-008f966cb6df.jpg?v=1787572094","url":"https:\/\/doeandhope.shop\/products\/a-fine-trio-of-c-1890-taxidermy-terrapins","provider":"doeandhope.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
