Interesting the themes of "man must help others cross water and then the bad person gets stuck doing it", "big bad's wife/mother helps the hero get answers to riddles" and "man gets stuck in a sack in a tree and then convinces someone it made him smarter so they take his place". Oh, these are not themes? But they are common plot devices, reading these I would have at least 6 nickels for repeating story beats.
