Many folk tales involve the same (or similar) characters because people are people and so they think alike - many cultures come up with pretty much the same story at the same time, completely independent of each other. The stories are also common because they are shared by travellers throughout the years; more people hear the story and remember it, but in doing so might forget, alter or add parts of the story as they see fit to make it better for themsleves. Thus a new story is created with the exact characters of the original.
