== Role in Story ==
The Eldest Son, alongside the Middle Son were the main antagonists of the episode, the Simple Prince, and lived in a cottage alongside their younger brother and their father. The Eldest Son was chosen the first night to take care of a haystack that was destroyed nightly and when he saw a field mouse, covered it with his hat and was surprised to see it disappear. When he and his older brother found out about the princess of the kingdom finding a man to marry, the two went to watch the competition and were jealous of their younger brother watching the competition too and accused him of spying on them. They burnt down all supposable seating regions their younger brother could’ve watched the competition from and grew extremely envious when they found out their younger brother was the one to marry the princess. They hid the son and when the kingdom went to search for the man who found the slipper for the princess and reached The Simple Prince’s house, the two said that the younger son was just a simple man and did not deserve the princesses’ hand in marriage but the kingdom got a hold of him anyway and the youngest son married.
