If you could have me retell any fairy tale (in poem, drabble, or ficlet length), which would it be?

A boy who doesn't know fear goes on several dangerous adventures to learn what it is like, but is unsuccessful (but successful at the adventures, of course), until he returns home to find that his girlfriend is very ill. She recovers, but this teachers him what fear is.

Adapted into the Jim Henson's The StoryTeller episode "Fearnot" (1.02).

That does sound interesting.
