This is an example of a pattern for the story of Tye May.
- Heroine: poor and orphaned
- shows determination and hard work
- is rewarded with magic gift
- Uses gift to help the poor
- Two bad guys (but 3 instances)
- try to take gift from her
- are tricked and overpowered by Heroine using magic gift
- Heroine continues to use magic gift appropriately
