"The Two Brothers" (Die zwei Brüder) is a Fairy Tale collected by The Brothers Grimm.The version the Grimms included in Children's and Household Tales has two distinct sections, which may have originally been separate tales; they mention in an afterword having also collected stories that resemble the first section with a different ending or the second section with a different beginning. Other fairy tale collectors have had similar finds; for instance, Andrew Lang's Violet Fairy Book includes a Lithuanian tale called "The Three Princes and Their Beasts" which resembles the second section.The first section tells of two brothers, one a rich and wicked goldsmith and the other a poor and humble broom-maker. The broom-maker discovers a rare golden bird, which the goldsmith buys off him. The bird is magical, and whoever cooks and eats its heart and liver will find a gold coin under his pillow each morning. The goldsmith sets his wife to cooking the bird, but due to a mishap, the bird's heart and liver are eaten by the two starving sons of the broom-maker. The broom-maker is astonished when his sons start finding gold under their pillows, and asks his brother for advice. The goldsmith vindictively claims they've fallen in with the devil, and must be driven out. After wandering for a while, the two boys are taken in by a huntsman, who raises them as his own sons.In the second section, the two boys (who incidentally are identical twins) are young men and set out to seek their fortunes. First they travel together, and acquire a matching set of faithful animal companions: in order they are hares, foxes, wolves, bears, and lions (all of which are also twins, or at least littermates). Then they go their separate ways, and the story follows the younger brother, who saves a princess from a dragon and wins her hand. They live happily for a while until the young man goes hunting in a mysterious forest, where a witch turns him to stone. The elder brother, having received a portent that his sibling is in trouble, comes to visit and is mistaken for his twin. He lets the mistake stand so he can borrow his brother's authority to find out what's going on, then goes out to the forest and rescues his younger brother from the witch. The brother who is married to the princess, though grateful to be rescued and glad to be reunited with his sibling, has an attack of jealousy when he learns that his elder brother has been living his life, but is reassured when he gets home and his wife asks him why he has been behaving strangely distant and sleeping separately from her for the last few days. The end.Read it here.The first part of the tale is classified, according to the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, as tale type ATU 567, "The Magic Bird-Heart", wherein a pair of siblings eat the liver and head of a magical bird that is prophesized to grant fortune to whoever eats it, and ATU 303, "The Twins or Blood Brothers". | |

Forgotten Phlebotinum | |
| The Two Brothers / int_1b89151e | comment |
Forgotten Phlebotinum: In the second section, which may have originally been a separate story, there's no mention of gold coins magically appearing under pillows. Possibly subverted, however, in that it explains how the younger twin can easily come up with a thousand gold pieces to cover The Bet he makes with an innkeeper when he returns to marry the princess. (It's also completely averted with the healing herb the younger twin's hare brings to resurrect his master; once they've got it, they use it again every time they need someone resurrected.) | |

Green-Eyed Monster: Upon hearing that his older brother had been sleeping in the same bed as his wife (although with a sword between them so that nothing intimate would happen), the younger brother quickly decapitated him out of a fit of jealous rage. To his credit, he immediately reversed course upon him realizing he had just killed his brother and savior. Death is Cheap is invoked soon after and all is back to normal. | |

Off with His Head!: The younger brother (twice, thanks to a case of Head Turned Backwards) and the older brother. Both of them get better. The dragon also gets beheaded multiple times, though it's because there were seven heads. Later on these seven heads are brought to the king's palace on his daughter's wedding day as trophies, which also helps the younger brother fire Chekhov's Gun. | |

The Alcoholic: Funnily enough, the younger brother's lion is this. It often gets intoxicated and oddly, it is for this exact reason that the lion was sent to fetch some king's wine from the palace. To ensure it got the right wine for its master, the lion kept tasting some of the wine offered and ended up slightly inebriated on the way back! | |

Back from the Dead | |
| The Two Brothers / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Due to magic root / plants: After the younger brother defeats the dragon, he is decapitated in his sleep by the marshal, who steals the credit. His animal companions restore him to life using a rare plant the hare knows how to find. This happens to him again when the lion put his head on backwards the first time, which necessitated yet another round of decapitation-and-resurrection. This also happens to the older brother, who was decapitated by the younger brother out of a fit of jealous rage. It played out the exact same, with the older brother none the worse for wear afterwards. | |

Stealing the Credit: While the hunter and his animals are resting after killing the dragon, the marshal kills him and takes credit for the dragon's death.

Head Turned Backwards | |
| The Two Brothers / int_9c04866f | comment |
Head Turned Backwards: The younger brother is beheaded in his sleep by a wicked marshal. When the hero's train of animal companions find him, they send the hare to fetch a magic root that can restore people back to life. It works, but the not-too-bright animals have put his head on the wrong way. The hero does not immediately realize this due to being lovesick, and only when he tries to eat lunch he notices there is something amiss. The animals fess up to their mistake, and the lion mends the damage by ripping the head off, then putting it back on the right way with the magic root. | |

Spot the Imposter: After the brothers are reunited at the end, they decide just for fun to challenge the court to tell which is the princess's husband. Even the princess can't tell the men apart, but she identifies her husband after taking a close look at the animals. (Her husband's animals are wearing neck decorations she gave them after they helped kill the dragon.) | |

Rule of Three | |
| The Two Brothers / int_a6cda066 | comment |
Rule of Three: Several times. In the first section, the poor broom-maker brings gold from the golden bird three times to his brother. (The third time was the bird itself.) A bumblebee lands three times on the hare's nose before it awoke. Speaking of the hare, it scratches on the princess's leg three times before she pays attention to it. The lion meanwhile tasted three wines on its Fetch Quest, the third being the one it was sent for. The magic root is used to reverse a beheading and bring someone back to life three times. Although unlike the other uses of this trope in the story, they were not three recurring attempts in one scene. | |

The Bet: The younger brother had bets with his innkeeper that he could obtain foods and drinks that the King ate and drank. The innkeeper naturally disbelieved him, and so the younger brother sent each of his animal companions to fetch these items for him. It eventually escalated from betting money to the innkeeper's house and yard against the brother's thousand gold coins, the wager resting on whether the brother can marry the princess or not. Of course, the brother wins that bet too (although he allowed the innkeeper to keep his property as well as the gold coins). | |

Sweet Tooth | |
| The Two Brothers / int_bac9f95d | comment |
Sweet Tooth: The younger brother's bear turns out to be this, because it likes licking sweet things. It is for this exact reason it was sent to fetch some of the king's confectionery. | |

Tongue Trauma | |
| The Two Brothers / int_d1522cf | comment |
Tongue Trauma: The younger brother removes a tongue from each of the slain dragon's seven heads as proof of his victory. It later acts as a Chekhov's Gun. In the same scene, he also says (in response to the marshal's lie about dragons not having tongues) that "liars ought to have none." | |

"Number of Objects" Title | |
| The Two Brothers / int_d83a7229 | comment |
"Number of Objects" Title: The Two Brothers. Also a Double-Meaning Title: Either it refers to the brothers of the first section, the goldsmith and the broom-maker, or ones of the second section, the broom-maker's abandoned twin sons, who were taken in by a huntsman. | |

Youngest Child Wins | |
| The Two Brothers / int_f6e99f40 | comment |
Youngest Child Wins: A minor example, in that it's the younger of the twins who marries the princess while the elder wanders around and fails to find adventure. On the other hand, it's averted with the witch, where the younger brother tries first and fails, then the elder brother tries and succeeds. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| The Two Brothers / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Although he won The Bet, the younger brother allowed the innkeeper to keep his property and even the thousand gold coins that was wagered against it. Presumably this was because the brother was moving up to royalty anyway, but it's still a show of generosity, or as the story puts it, "it [was] done according to mercy." In a Blink-and-You-Miss-It example during the same scene, the younger brother had both his father and his foster-father (the huntsman) at his wedding and loaded them both with treasures. | |
