Fairy Tales day 2

Today's fairy tales seem to focus on generosity and defeating all odds with virtue, faith, and perseverance. For example, in the Golden Goose, we see the first two brothers punished punished because of their stinginess by getting a hard blow from their own ax. In the meantime, the third brother has the worst and smallest breakfast which he ends up sharing anyway and is aptly rewarded with a golden goose that eventually leads him to a large fortune and a pretty wife. Bearskin also follows up on this theme with a few added elements. The soldier's generosity also earns him a bride after he saves her family from debt, but also plays with this by having only the youngest daughter see beyond his physical appearance and only pay attention to his good deed. And she still remains loyal to him while he stays away for three years in fulfillment of his supernatural ordeal, which he eventually conquers and is finally able to show everyone what he was hiding. Thus the moral is good things happen to good people.
