Norwegian elements
1. The Trolls: In our folk tales the Trolls are characters of very different sizes and nature. They can be tiny or gigantic, evil or nice, clever or stupid, but they are always ugly, and they can never be out in the sun. When the sunrays touch them, they are transformed to rocks.
2. King Valemon – The White Bear: One of our well known folk tales is about King Valemon, a king bewitched into the shape of a polar bear. Of course he is saved by a beautiful princess

3. Draugen: Draugen is a sea-monster, often in the shape of a huge, ugly, dripping man-like figure. He appears especially in folk-tales from the northern parts of Norway, often taking sailors and fishermen with him after their boats have gone down in storms.
“Draugen”, by Theodor Kittelsen
4. Espen Askeladd: He is the youngest of three brothers, often very poor, his brothers make fun of him, and his parents don’t believe in him. But he is always the smartest and most handsome of all, and he always wins the princess and half of the kingdom.
5. Peer Gynt: Henrik Ibsen’s figure in the play with the same title. A notorious liar and optimist, constantly driving both his mother and fiancée mad with his stories and wild ideas.

The French six elements
1) A place : the Secret Place or the Labyrinth ; a space which allows the qualities of the hero to be seen. It can be a forest as in Tom Thumb or the secret bedroom in Bluebeard.
2) An action : the Meeting / Encounter, beneficial or harmful, which often starts off the action. The meeting of the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood ; the meeting of Riquet with the Tuft
3) A particular quality / a particular psychological tendency / disposal / aptitude. A specific Wisdom / Spirit
This quality often allows the hero to get over a difficult situation, but above all, it allows one of the main purposes of the tale to be met, whose original aim was to “educate” children and to make them “good”. See the moral of Riquet with the Tuft according to which inner / internal beauty is more important than external beauty.
4) A typical character : the Messenger. The bringer of good (prophet / prophecy) or bad news (curse) who can help the hero or stand in his way / be a stumbling block.
In both cases, this “messenger” plays a part in the quest of the hero.
5) An imaginary character : an elf / a goblin
6) A sentiment : Hope. Either through the hero’s own qualities or through the support of a third person, hope enables the hero to move towards an ending which is often happy.

The Polish elements
1. The Vistula River. This is the longest river in our beautiful country. It is connected with many Polish folk tales (for example a folk tale about princess Wanda, who didn't want to marry a German prince) is our biggest river)
2. Wawelski Dragon - The most famous Polish dragon. It used to terrorize the neighbourhood of its cave located near the city of Cracow, capitol of Poland in past times. Defeated by a shoemaker named Dratewka
3. Mermaid - A beautiful creature, half-woman, half-fish. We have got one important legend containing mermaid - a legend about mermaid kidnapped by a merchant who wanted to make cash on her beautiful voice, but a son of fisherman helped her escape. The Mermaid promised that she would help the citizens of Warsaw City when they needed her help.
4. Prince Popiel (or Duke Popiel) was a legendary 9th century ruler of the West Slavic ("proto-Polish") tribe of Goplans or Polans, the last member of the pre-Piast dynasty, the Popielids. As the legend goes, Prince Popiel was a cruel and corrupt ruler who cared only for wine, women, and song. As a consequence of bad rule he was deposed, besieged by his subjects, and eaten alive by mice in a tower in Kruszwica.
5. Legendary mice from the legend of King Popiel - a small mammal belonging to the order of rodents. The best known mouse species is the common house mouse (Mus musculus). It is also a popular pet. They are known to invade homes for food and occasionally shelter. Legend has it that the mice ate the King Popiel, when he tried to hide in the tower in Kruszwica. From terrible crimes of the animals later took the name of the tower - Mouse Tower.
6. The Golden Duck (inhabited the basement of Ostrogski Castle) would give 100 golden ducats to anyone who dares to enter the labyrinth of cellars and manages to find her. The small fortune however is to be spent entirely on that person's own living and desires. The Legend of the Golden Duck tells us that even though there may be rough times in our lives that we can have many days of happiness in the joys of our family, work, and the beauty of nature.
