The foolish brother acquires three magical horses and uses them to reach a princess atop a glass hill for three times. ATU 530A, "The Pig With Golden Bristles": as a continuation of the story of The Glass Mountain, after the wedding, the tsar/king sends his sons-in-law on a quest for some creatures with marvellous attributes. The older brothers want to go on the quest to impress their father-in-law and further humiliate their youngest brother. ATU 550, "The Golden Bird": a king sends his three sons to find the golden bird and bring it home. The older ones fail, but the youngest is successful, capturing the bird and a horse and bringing with him a maiden as his wife. Spurred by intense jealousy, they murder their sibling or toss them in a ditch and take the prizes of the quest for themselves. ATU 551, "The Water of Life": a king is dying or blind, so he sends his sons for a magical cure (a magical bird, the water of life, etc. ), which can only be found in a distant realm, in the hands of a princess or maiden. The youngest is successful and returns with the prize, but his brothers drop him in a ditch. The youngest prince survives and returns incognito to the city. The foreign maiden comes after the person who stole her property. ATU 554, "The Grateful Animals": in some variants, the youngest brother protects or helps three animals of different species, much to his brothers chagrin, who wanted to hunt them.
Esau was jealous of his brother Jacobs inheritance and blessing; sisters Leah and Rachel compete for the love of Jacob; Josephs brothers are so jealous that they effectively sell him into slavery. These stories are also present in the Quran. Another example is provided in the myth of Romulus and Remus, wherein twin brothers Romulus and Remus fight for control over Rome, and which ends with the death of Remus at the hands of his brother. In folk and fairy tales
Sibling rivalry, bitter jealousy, and envy are notable in several fairy tales around the world. In some tales, the jealousy escalates to outright murder of the successful sibling. Some tale types, according to the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, heavily feature sibling and step-sibling rivalry as part of the plot:

ATU 301, "The Three Stolen Princesses" or "Jean de lOurs": a hero, born with strong powers, descends to an underworld realm to rescue three princesses. He sends the three maidens to the upper realm with the help of his brothers (or companions), but they cut the rope and trap him in the subterranean realm. ATU 361, "Bearskin": a man makes a deal with devil: must not pray or bathe for a certain number of years. Later, the man meets a father with his three daughters; only the youngest sister promises to marry the man. After the time is up, the man grooms himself and goes to meet his bride, explaining the whole story. Her sisters seethe with rage and explode with jealousy; the devil takes two souls, instead of one.
