*HitchhikerHeroesHitchhikerHeroes: It's understood, if unspoken, that Fate or some Higher Power is directing the encounters, given that the Fool is told he must give a ride to anyone who asks him; and of course each person he encounters does ask him. He picks up, in short order and completely unconnected: a man who runs extremely fast; a man who can hear things miles away; a man who can see things miles away; a man who can keep eating and never be full; a man of extraordinary strength who generally seems to be a weakling; and a man with a bundle of sticks which he can turn into soldiers. Various versions add to or subtract from the lineup, but the Plot Tailored to the Party at the end always requires each of their strengths, in some combination.

"The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship" is based on a Russian folk tale that originated from ''Old Peter's Russian Tales'' in 1916. A proclamation went out through all the land that whosoever could build a flying ship would win the hand of the Tsar's daughter. The youngest son of a simple peasant shows up to claim her, and the dumbfounded Tsar quickly has second thoughts, setting several 'impossible" tasks for 'The Fool of the World' and his remarkable friends.
The story has been translated into a children's book that was written by Arthur Ransome titled ''The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship'' in 1968 and was well known for winning the Caldecott Medal in 1969, for best illustrations.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original story, the Fool's brothers are never heard from again, and we never find out if they met some gruesome end or simply faded into obscurity. In the Cosgrove Hall stop-motion adaptation, the two squander their money on gambling and fancy food and drink; the story ends with them alive, but humbled, when their simple but kindly brother (now a wealthy prince) saves them from debt.
