    This tale shows one never to give up and persevere and no matter the odds. Many time the youngest son was doubted, though he continues forward to succeed in his quest. Even the king, his own father was suspect of his son’s chances saying , “ Your older brothers perished on this quest, and you who are still a tender youth will perish even sooner than they” (Afanas’ev 315). Likewise it teaches one to be wary of others no matter if you know them as they may be looking to take advantage of you. The maiden Dunia takes advantage of the eldest brothers tricking them into slavery just by asking them , “lie closer to her, so that they would be warmer” which cause they to fall through a trapdoor into the cellar ( Afanas’ev 314). Then even after the younger brother frees the elder brothers from slavery they look to steal his success by taking the apples and exiling him, though they don’t succeed. Moreover this will become extremely helpful as one grows older. Everyone is going to face challenges in life and must learn to push through them.

This is critical information because if Ranofer did not outsmart Gebu, Ranofer would had never of told his friend Haqet, Haqet has an idea to tell the master goldsmith(Zau). When Heqet and Ranofer get a chance to meet Zau they tell him about the robberies and since Heqet started working for Zau they agreed to meeting in the thicket after Ranofer was done at the stone cutting shop (midday) and they would exchange food and water while spying on Gebu and Wenomon (Gebu’s “partner in crime”) to “see what they’re up to”.
