* [[Instant Plastic Surgery]]: One episode features an adaptation of "The Indian Cinderella," to convince Zach to come clean about breaking his father's camera. In this version, Cinderella is named Morning Light, a beautiful young woman who is not afraid to tell the truth when necessary, or do work. She's a candidate to meet Strong Wind, a magical warrior that can turn invisible. Out of spite, her sisters wear masks at night, cut her hair and scar her. ''Unlike'' in the original fairy tale, her father goes [[Papa Wolf]] and promises to punish the attackers after seeing Morning Light run off in tears. She figures out it was her sisters because they didn't think to take off their jewels, and exposes them to her father. He grounds and punishes them, as Morning Light goes to see Strong Wind with her scarred face and jagged hair. When she passes the test by honestly saying that she doesn't see him in the sky, until he reveals himself, he uses magic to grow her hair back and heal her scars.
* [[Interspecies Friendship]]: Zach and Annie (both humans), Plato, Aurora, Sock and Ari.
* [[Killing the Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs]]: The original story is adapted by the show. A farmer and his wife fall on hard times, being so desperate they prepare to slaughter their only goose. The goose starts laying golden eggs, saving her life for a few months. The wife then comes to a logical conclusion: all birds stop laying eventually, so it's better to cut open the goose and get all the eggs. Turns out when she does kill the goose, it has no golden eggs.
* [[Know When to Fold'Em]]: Basically the premises of the two "Perseverance" episodes.
** In the first one, Zach and Annie give up on their guitar and karate lessons respectively, because Zach said that playing a guitar is boring and Annie said that karate is very hard. At the end of the episode, after being told stories with the episode's virtue, the kids get over their problems and happily revisit the two topics.
