Part 7/10:
The story takes a dark turn when the jealous older brothers sabotage the rescue, attempting to kill the youngest and claiming the princesses for themselves. The symbolism of betrayal emphasizes the importance of integrity and the destructive power of envy and greed—elements that threaten moral society.
In a climactic moment, the youngest brother's resourcefulness and moral strength prevail; he outsmarts his treacherous siblings, saves the princesses, and ultimately secures their freedom and dignity. The ending, which involves justice being served through the hanging of the older brothers and the union of the hero and the princesses, reinforces the moral that virtue and righteousness triumph over evil and treachery.
