EP 134: Armenia- The Golden Maiden (A. G. Seklemian 1898)

In this story, two children are abandoned by their father after he remarries. During their travels, the younger brother drinks from a puddle and is changed into a sheep. The maiden then meets a fairy, gets special golden powers, and things go one part Cinderella and one part Jonah and the whale from there. Will there be a happily ever after?
