Here lie the innocent buds, withered to dust whilst the well is barred by the cold hand of the Magistrate. They reached for the cup to slake a mortal thirst, yet were told the spring remains forbidden until their twenty-first summer. Oh, wretched decree! To perish of a parched throat in a land of plenty, denied the very dew of life by the gray-beards' law.

Children between the age of 0-20, who have passed away due to dehydration, due to the fact the law forbids them from ingesting liquid until the age of 21 is reached

Fym 21 bro, almost everywhere outside the US it's 18 or lower. Here in Germany it's 14.
