A long time ago there was a boy; his name was Phillip. He was immensely happy with his family. He had one brother, a mother, and a father. His brother was the wisest in all of the land. But he was not strong. Phillip was exceptionally strong in the heart and the body. Phillips brothers name was Peter. But then an awful tragedy occurred and the mother of the two children died. She had a fatal illness and could not fight it off. The family mourned for many years but then had to go on with their lives. The father of the two children had inherited all the mothers’ money and now he alone did not have to work. They decided to move from their large country home into the city. The brother’s thought that there would be much more opportunity in the city for jobs and they were right. Peter had become the town’s money keeper and Phillip had become the palaces horse keeper. These two jobs suited the brothers well. The brothers fit in well in the city and everyone loved them. The townspeople often asked help of Phillip for his strength and Peter for his wits. The brothers also helped the animals of the forest with tasks that they could not complete. Phillip would help the Beavers move logs and would show the bears the paths that the fish took and how to catch them. Phillip would help the ants move large rocks that would be in there paths and the falcons moving his large net into a more stable tree. The two brothers were happy in this city and never wanted to leave. When Phillip woke up one morning no one else was at his home, he got scared for he loved his brother very much. He walked out into the kitchen and saw a letter in his father’s handwriting.

Phillips father explained why he needed all of these things. He wanted the giants eye for super sight, he needed the starfish to make him the most handsome in the land and the golden feather to become the strongest. At that point he was mixing all of these things into a bowl and adding water. Phillips father poured his mixture into a cup and had a sizable gulp. He was changing before Phillips eyes and looked as though he was the strongest, most handsome, best seeing man in the land. But then he changed and turned the size of a thimble. Phillip was stunned and went and untied his brother. Phillip gave his brother an apple and he ate the whole thing in one bite. Peter and Phillip went and packed all their stuff. They left their thimble sized father in their home and lived happily ever after.

Nonetheless, this really is a tale of compelling love between the boy and his father. The actions of the boy throughout the story indicate that he really does love his father and seems very torn between his mother expectations and his father’s light heartedness.

Even without other surrounding verification of their lives, the plot, characters, and narrative have meshed together quite well.
