Well, there is always a moral!. Serendipity usually plays a big part in the story!. Star-crossed love!. Some sort of rescue!. Conversion from evil to good or vice versa!. Here are a couple of links that may be useful:

Common motif is everyone gets in trouble by being too trusting!. Grimms Fairy Tales have this motif as well !. And there is usually some supranatural event that saves the hero or heroine!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
