(still looking for the shortest stories)
Two King’s Sons left for adventure. Lost.
Third, called Simpleton, found them. They mocked him for being simple.
The two want to destroy ants nest for fun. Simpleton said no.
The two want to kill and roast ducks. Simpleton said no.
The two want to burn bees nest. Simpleton said no.
Found castle with stone horses. And door with three locks.
Man silently gave them food. Then beds.
3 tasks to save the castle, or be turned to stone.
1. find 1000 hidden pearls. The two brothers failed, and were turned to stone. The third got the ants to help him.
2. find key in lake. The ducks helped him.
3. Choose from three identical daughters. One had eaten honey. One, sugar. One, syrup. The bees helped.
The castle was saved, Simpleton married the youngest and sweetest princess, the other brothers married the other two.
