The heroine is telling a fairy tale, and I know she can't have the main character look for apples to cure the king. Or water to cure the king. Or a firebird which may or may not be needed to cure the king.
(Story reasons: you can't echo the plot of your story with the stories in it too strongly. At least, at this point.)
I have also concluded that the main character can't be looking for a person, or people. Or for something vague like his fortune. Or, for that matter, be looking for it involuntarily.
This is an enormous constraint. And very important because I use it to motivate the heroine.
Doing some research.
