Getting the Creeps

A boy grows up and is so slow-witted that he does not even understand what it means to be scared. Expelled and ridiculed, he starts out into the world by himself, hoping to learn how to get the creeps. His stupidity turns out to be an advantage, because it goes along with utter fearlessness. Thus, the boy manages to carry out tasks that would scare off any reasonable person. He wins the princess's hand and, through her, gains the desired insight. An absurd and fascinating adventure.
