Summary/Abstract: Knowing the Carpathian Basin fairy tale corpus, we can say that the story of the “Two Brothers” or the “Two Identical Friends” is an exemplary narrative woven from several consecutive episodes from the Bible and the Qur’an into a “unity”, which has come into the folk tale tradition over several centuries. Narrators from different local areas and religious denominations can be clearly noted: the story itself can be broken up into further episodes so that the exemplary nature of the individual episodes make it easier for the audience to absorb it from the perspectives of the practice of virtue and the discourses full of life experience.
