Fairy tales
In the fairy tale the basic lines of the story are the princess of a kingdom runs away because she thinks where she's running to will be better but it's not. The princess eventually dies but the king knows she will return to him, maybe in another body, at another time.
This fairy tale is similar to The Little Mermaid in the fact that the mermaid thinks having legs and living with the humans will be better but it isn't so eventually she returns to her father or the king.
