The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was	comment	The Story Of The Youth Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear Was (MÃ¤rchen von einem, der auszog, das FÃ¼rchten zu lernen) is a German Fairy Tale collected in the early 19th century by The Brothers Grimm, the fourth story in the Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und HausmÃ¤rchen) collection. It was also collected by Andrew Lang in The Blue Fairy Book.Once Upon a Time there lived a young man who wished to understand what fear was. A sexton tries to help him by having the youth ring the church bell at midnight, while he tries to scare him by dressing up as a ghost. The youth isn't scared at all and pushes the sexton down the stairs, breaking his leg. Ashamed and horrified, the young man's father sends him out in the wide world. The youth takes this as an opportunity to try to learn what fear is. A stranger advises him to spend a night beneath the gallows, where seven dead men are hanging. He follows this advice, sets a fire for the night, and even cuts down the bodies to sit them next to him around the fire. When the corpses' clothes catch fire, the youngster gets annoyed at their carelessness and hangs them back up.One day, when arriving at an inn, the innkeeper tells the protagonist that if he wants to know how to shudder, he should visit the Haunted Castle nearby. Nobody ever survived spending one night there, because they all died of fear. If he can manage to stay there, he will win earn all the treasures of the castle and marry the king's daughter. The youth decides to take the challenge and goes to the king, who tells him he may bring three objects to the castle. The youngster chooses a fire, a lathe, and a cutting board with a knife.The first night, he is confronted with two black cats, complaining about the cold. The young man invites them to join him near the fire. The cats propose a card game, but the youth cuts their nails with his cutting board and knife. A huge fight breaks loose with all kinds of cats and dogs trying to attack him, but he kills them all. Then, out of nowhere, a bed appears. The main character hops in, but the bed moves and drives him around the entire castle. Still unafraid, the youth urges it to go faster. The bed turns upside down on him, but he just tosses the bed aside and sleeps next to the fire until morning.During the second night, half of a man falls down the chimney. The youth, again unafraid, shouts up the chimney that the other half is needed. The other half, hearing him, falls from the chimney and reunites with the rest of his body. More men followed with human skulls and dead men's legs with which to play nine-pins. The amused young man sharpens the skulls into better balls with his lathe and joins the men until midnight, when they vanish into thin air.On his third and final night in the castle, the young man hears a strange noise. Six men enter the room, carrying a coffin. The boy, unafraid but distraught, believes the body to be his own dead cousin. As he tries to warm the body, it reanimates, and, confused, threatens to strangle him. The youth, angry at his ingratitude, closes the coffin on top of the man again. Then an old man appears who brags that he can knock an anvil straight to the ground. He brings the young man to the basement and begins showing off this trick. The youth, meanwhile, splits the anvil and traps the old man's beard in it, beating him with an iron rod afterward. The man, desperate for mercy, gives him all the treasures in the castle.Next morning, the king tells the young man that he can marry his daughter. The youth agrees, though upset that he has still not learned how to shudder. One night, his bride tosses freezing water with gudgeons onto her husband as he sleeps. As he awakes, shuddering, he exclaims that while he has finally learned to shudder, he still does not know what true fear is.It's one of the lesser known fairy tales, but frequently compiled in books that feature the "best" fairy tales of all time. The Nightmare Fuel, or Lightmare Fuel elements if you will, make it very popular with audiences. Elements of this story have reappeared in other media, including the Ring of the Nibelung, where Siegfried also tries to discover what fear is. The fairy tale has been adapted to screen by the TV series Faerie Tale Theatre and The Storyteller.The story can be read here, here, here, or here. Andrew Lang's version can be read here or here.
