Abstract
The article discusses fairy tales related to two plot types 480B* and 333B, in which a girl encounters a certain mythological character threatening her life. In addition to the fairytale plots noted in the index, a number of plot types of texts not included in the index have been identified. The plots of fairy tales under consideration are similar to each other and related to the motif of questioning about what the heroine had seen in the house. In both plots, there may be motives of meeting with otherworldly creatures or forest animals. In the plot 480B*, the motive of getting fire is strictly fixed. In 333B, the cannibalism motif dominates. In addition, a plot type not marked in the index has been identified, in which the heroine is faced with the persecution of a mythological character (Green Head, Red-hot Teeth), from which she usually escapes.
