* In tale type ATU 707, "The Three Golden Children", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, the mother of the titular wonder children is ready to give birth, when the antagonists strike right at this time: they take the babies as soon as they are born (either twins or consecutive pregnancies), cast them in the water in a box and leave them to die, then place puppies and other creatures in their place to fool the king. The children's mother is later made to bear the brunt of a degrading punishment.
