I agree with VydorScope. Being willing to help someone else (showing compassion) which leads to the other person giving them something which they need in order to complete the tasks (one of which is overcoming a fear) sounds like good structure. That's how a lot of the old fairy tales (like the Grimm's Fairy Tales) are structured. If you have two others try the same task before him (and fail because they didn't show compassion) and give a good reward beyond just saving his home kingdom it will read even better. Maybe he goes from being a dirt poor commoner to becoming the prospective husband of the king's daughter or something.
