This paper reported that the Korean comedic stories three sisters type have the similar motifs of the beginning of One Thousand and One Nights and KING LEAR. It is unclear which route each of these story patterns took to enter Korea. However, it is likely that this narrative was also prevalent on the eastern side of the Eurasian continent, at least around the 17th and 18th centuries. It can be seen that the story of two “three sisters” who have the same story was disseminated as a “Relationships between sisters get worse type” in the western part of the Eurasian continent.　However, it can be said that it is a remarkable difference that it was disseminated as a “Relationships between sisters get well type” on the eastern side of the Eurasian continent. In addition, the “Two sisters tease one sister type” is mainly distributed in the western part of the Eurasian continent. However, it was found that the type in which one sister teases one sister is predominantly distributed in the eastern part of the Eurasian continent. In particular, if one sister is the type who teases one sister, it is a legend of the goddess of three sisters.
