The Wise Little Girl (Мудрая дева) is a Russian Fairy Tale collected by Alexander Afanasyev in Narodnye russkie skazki (Народные Русские Сказки).Once upon a time there were two brothers, one rich and the other one poor, who were travelling together. The rich man rode a stallion, and the poor brother a young mare. While they spend the night in a field, the mare gives birth, and her newborn colt rolls under the rich brother's cart.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The next day, both men find the foal under the cart, and the rich brother claims his cart has given birth to the foal, ergo the horse is his, whereas his sibling argues that cannot possibly be true. Neither of them back down, so they head off to the nearest city to settle their dispute in court.The Tsar, who happened to be visiting the city, hears of their case and summons them to ask them several riddles to establish who is right. When they are summoned back, the answers of the rich man are laughably shallow, whereas his brother's ones are very thoughtful. When the man freely admits he got his answers from his little daughter, the Tsar feels intrigued and decides to test the poor man's daughter's wisdom.Some versions of the tale can be read here and here.

Blatant Lies: When both brothers find a foal under the rich brother's cart, the latter rushes to declare the horse must be his cart's offspring and not his brother's mare's.
