| − | The '''Fountain''' is a landmark in {{CF}} and {{NL}}, and can be found in both the [[city]] and the [[town]]. The town's Fountain is also inhabited by [[Serena]]. After the [[player]] donates 200,000 [[Bell]]s to the [[town fund]] and a bridge has been built, the player can donate an additional 400,000 [[Bell]]s to the town fund. As a result, a Fountain will be built in front of the [[Bus Stop]] a week later. | |
| | | | |
| − | A fountain adorned with a statue of Serena is situated in the center of the plaza in the city. | + | A fountain is also in the City, where [[Phineas]] will be near and villagers will roam. |
| | | | |
| − | In {{NL|nolink}}, the Fountain is one of the many [[public works project]]s. It is available by default, costs 99,800 Bells to build, and takes up 4x4 space.

| − | In {{NH}}, the {{I|Fountain|NH}} is now a furniture item available via [[DIY|crafting]]. The fountain will also react when the hour chimes on the island, briefly playing a water show.
| + | == Golden and Silver Axe== |
| | + | If the player has a regular axe and throws it into to the fountain, Serena will appear and ask questions like what type of axe you threw in and if she is acting like a good goddess or not. She will also remark on if she's "goddess-y." If you answer the questions in a certain way she will give you a gold or silver axe. |
| | + | ===Origin=== |
| | + | This may come from a Korean story/legend. It the story, an old man accidentally lost an axe in a lake. He was crying because he was a poor woodcutter and cutting down trees was his only livelihood. Suddenly a goddess appears in the lake and asks what kind of axe he lost. He said it was only axe made of wood and iron.The goddess was impressed by his truthful answer and rewarded him with a gold axe. When he returned home, his jealous and ambitious cousin heard and went to the lake. He deliberately threw an axe in the lake. The same goddess appeared. She questioned him about his axe. He said it was an axe made of solid gold, when in truth, it was a simple axe. The goddess was disgusted by his lying and swam down. |

| − | If the player throws a regular [[Axe]] into the town's Fountain, the goddess, [[Serena]], will appear and will usually (she occasionally takes the player's Axe without doing so) begin to ask the player a variety of questions, including the type of the axe that was thrown into the Fountain. Depending on how the player answers her questions, she will either return their regular axe, or she will reward them with a Silver Axe, a Golden Axe, or nothing.

| |
| − | *The day the fountain is built, [[Tortimer]] can be found standing in front of the newly constructed landmark. Upon talking to the mayor, he will inform the player of the Fountain's completion, and that there would be an opening ceremony. However, he tells the player that he uses the term "ceremony" rather loosely, as all of the town's funds have been depleted by the fountain.<ref>{{cite|Of course, I use the term "ceremony" rather loosely, as all our funds have been depleted by the fountain.
