You can make it a baker's dozen of impossible tasks if you really want. Often in the mythology stories I've heard there's more than one impossible task that they are told to do. Though those are usually given three impossible tasks, or just one impossible task that the forces of fate or the Greek gods help him conquer it all.

Medusa goes hunting. But she can't eat stone. How does she capture or kill her pray.
A leprechaun's real treasure is luck. The pot of gold at the end of a rainbow is just a distraction from the real treasure. A lifetime of good luck.
A hero is given an impossible task. The rewards are to save the kingdom, gain riches, and marry the king's daughter if he succeeds, or be put to death if he fails or refuses to go on the quest. The forces that be (the universe, deities, or otherwise) decide to help the hero regardless if he chooses to help the kingdom or flee from it.
Bonus points if you can combine all three promps into one story.

I'd be interested. But I'm also ok if you want to do something else. Your story, your time. It's up to you, not redditers.
