Line 63:
* [[Secret Test of Character]]: Lovers are very fond of this, feigning poverty, or their own deaths, to discover whether the other really is in love with them.
* [[Sibling Triangle]]: the sister's motive in "The Twa Sisters"
* [[Standard Hero Reward]]: e.g. "The ''Golden Vanity''" (Child #286) {{spoiler|SUBVERTED TO THE MAX!!! The hero is told this is the reward, if he drills holes in the enemy man-o'-war, which he does (In a horribly poetic way: He let the water in, and it dazzled in their eyes, and he sunk them in the Low Lands Low.) He is then [[Did You Actually Believe?|betrayed by the captain]] and is abandoned to drown in the ocean.}} [[Standard Hero Reward]] be damned!
* [[Stock Puzzle]]: e.g. "Riddles Wisely Expounded" (Child #1), "Captain Wedderburn's Courtship" (Child #46)
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]
