In this article, one of the most iterative examples of Iranian tales and myths, heroism and the victory of the last child, has been examined, based on the ancient examples of the child's model from the view point of Jung. Son or the third daughter, fourth, seventh, fortieth or hundredth, who is in fact the youngest child, fights against his brothers and sisters in a scene of balanced struggle and triumphs. In this paper, several types are first selected and for each type, a story has been chosen. Then, the stories are examined according to the three characteristics that Young attributes to the child's old model. The results indicate that the latest children of tales with smaller than small while bigger than big character than Jung model have a close connection with the three attributes of rejection, invincibility and hermaphroditic talent.
