The Simple Prince

The Simple Prince, also known as John, is the main character of the episode, the Simple Prince. He is the youngest of three sons of his father, the Farmer, and he is often bullied by his older brothers, the eldest son and the middle son. He was known to be very simple and that was often the reason the pair of brothers often bullied him, but despite him being very simple, he was very friendly and very clever.

Role in Story
He held a crucial part in the story because he is the main character of the story. He was raised in a cottage by a farmer (his father) and his older brothers. He often kept to himself and was overall a very simple man. One day, his father told his sons that a haystack they owned was becoming very messy nightly, so he sent each of his sons on duty. When it was his turn, he met a little mouse and he fed the mouse and the mouse told him that a horse will come and trample onto the haystack which startled The Simple Prince. The mouse told The Simple Prince not to be afraid and to own up against the horse. When the horse came to trample the hay, The Simple Prince rode onto the horse in order to tame it and the horse gifted him three whistles, one bronze, one silver and one gold for his bravery. Each whistle held a special horse of each colour and a special suit of armour. When the time came for the princess to get wedded to a man, he blew each whistle every day, the bronze horse however only climbed a quarter through up the Glass Mountain, the silver only halfway, and the gold climbed fully top and he got a hold of the slipper which was gifted to the princess and the kingdom did a manhunt to find the simple prince. When they found him he eventually wedded the princess and they all lived happily every after.
