"The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was" or "The Story of a Boy Who Went Forth to Learn Fear" (German: Märchen von einem, der auszog das Fürchten zu lernen) is a German folktale collected by the Brothers Grimm. It is tale number 4 in Grimm's Fairy Tales. It was also included by Andrew Lang in The Blue Fairy Book (1889).
The Grimms' first, 1812 edition contained a much shorter version, "Good Bowling and Card Playing" (German: Gut Kegel- und Kartenspiel).
It is classified as its own Aarne–Thompson index type 326 of a male protagonist's unsuccessful attempts to learn fear, which eventually leads to his awareness of mortality.
This tale type did not appear in any early literary collection but is heavily influenced by the medieval adventure of Sir Lancelot du Lac called Les Merveilles de Rigomer in which he spends a night in a haunted castle and undergoes almost the same ordeals as the youth.
