Accidental Truth: Fairy Tales: What's one tale that does this?
- A motif that appears in several tales: The king of the land has offered the princess's hand in marriage to whoever can complete an Impossible Task. Three brothers, sequentially, decide to give it a try. Each in turn meets a mysterious old lady who asks what's in the basket they are carrying. The first two, for fear of seeming ridiculous, invent a mundane lie, and then they find that their basket is actually full of the thing they claimed. The third son tells the truth and gets magical help with the task.
