Old Beggar Test | |
| The King Of The Golden River / int_12ceb248 | comment |
Old Beggar Test: Each brother comes upon one old man crying out for water during his ascension to the summit. When Schwartz and Hans ignore his requests, their selfishness taints the holy water, making it useless to their goal. Gluck gives most of his water to the old beggar, and shortly later, he finds out that it was one of the King's trials. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness | |
| The King Of The Golden River / int_2a015a74 | comment |
Beauty Equals Goodness: Schwartz and Hans are two hideous and greedy men who mistreat their servants, abuse and kill innocent animals, and never help the poor. On the other hand, Gluck is a kind and sweet blue-eyed boy who does not seem to hold any ill will towards his more antagonistic brothers. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| The King Of The Golden River / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: Each brother meets some people and animals dying of thirst during his journey. Hans and Schwartz refuse to share any and are turned to stone. Gluck gives every single drop, even though it may cost him his only chance to reach the spring of the river, to an old beggar, a little child, and a little dog. After he has given drink to the latter, the dog turns into the King of the River, who rewards Gluck's kindness and selflessness. | |

| The King Of The Golden River / int_d2102da0 | comment |
Bad People Abuse Animals: When explaining why Schwartz and Hans, "the Black Brothers", are two nasty pieces of work, the narrator talks about them killing innocent animals before everything else (abusing and underpaying servants, hoarding corn and then selling it for twice its value...). | |

Empathic Environment | |
| The King Of The Golden River / int_e3cee2e7 | comment |
Empathic Environment: When each brother sets out for the source of the Golden River, it's a fine day. Each cruel act by the evil brothers causes the weather to worsen. In contrast, when Gluck takes the time to give a person or animal dying of thirst some water, the environment becomes sunnier and more pleasant. | |

Cain and Abel | |
| The King Of The Golden River / int_eba6a077 | comment |
Cain and Abel: The antagonistic Schwartz and Hans are the collective Cain to the good-natured Gluck's Abel. In fact, Gluck does not seem to hold any ill will towards his brothers as he complains to the King of the Golden River for turning them into statues. | |
