When the boy had grown up, his godfather one day appeared and bade him go with him. He led him forth into a forest, and showed him a herb which grew there, and said, "Now shalt thou receive thy godfather's present. I make thee a celebrated physician. When thou art called to a patient, I will always appear to thee. If I stand by the head of the sick man, thou mayst say with confidence that thou wilt make him well again, and if thou givest him of this herb he will recover; but if I stand by the patient's feet, he is mine, and thou must say that all remedies are in vain, and that no physician in the world could save him. But beware of using the herb against my will, or it might fare ill with thee."

It can be easier, I suppose, to imagine death as something a little less impersonal than, well, death.

A little bit easier, […]

A couple weeks ago, Sam Enthoven (fellow Razorbillian and author of the super-cool book THE BLACK TATTOO) mentioned to me that he liked the obscure fairy tale "Godfather Death," especially the bit about the cabbage heads. I replied, "Oh, yeah, that part was great," and then went to look in my Grimm's book to see what the heck he was talking about.I didn't find any cabbage heads. Or lettuce either, for that matter.So I went online and discovered that there are multiple versions of the Godfather Death story out there. In fact, they are classified as type 332 in the Aarne-Thompson folktale classification system. The variant that Sam was referring to was also collected by the Brothers Grimm. And it's much cooler than the version I knew. Or at least much randomer. (Before you ask, "randomer" is a perfectly cromulent word.) So, thanks, Sam, for introducing me to the cabbage variant!In care you're curious, here are my thoughts while reading these two versions of type 332:Godfather Death (from the Brothers Grimm) -- the non-cabbage variantA man walks down a road to search for a godfather for his thirteenth child.Why is he taking a leisurely stroll when he has thirteen kids? Doesn't he have things to do? Or by number thirteen, do you just let the kids fend for themselves like baby sea turtles?He meets God, who offers to be the child's godfather, and the man rejects him. He meets Satan and rejects him as well.Picky, isn't he?Lastly, he meets Death and says, "You are fair to...
