This story was so awesome. I haven't heard of this retold anywhere before so it was exciting to read a Grimm story without any kind of preconceived notions. This story is about a man who is good at nothing but fighting in wars. His brothers are douches and won't help him out when the war is over. He ends up meeting the devil and is told that if he can wear a bearskin for 7 years without taking a bath or combing his hair he would have a good life and the coat he had during those 7 years would always have money in it. The man then helps an old guy who has 3 daughters. Of course the older ones don't want anything to do with him cause he's filthy and hasn't taken a bath in 5 years, but the youngest one agrees to marry him for helping her father. After 2 more years, he is able to take a bath and is awesome looking and goes back to get his bride, but the 2 older sisters are fawning all over him and he then tells them, beotch please, you didn't want anything to do with me before, I'm here for your hot younger sister. And they live happily ever after.

This story was also very cool since I had never heard anything about it either. This couple has a kid that is half hedgehog and half boy. The family gets tired of having him around because hes weird so the boy rides a rooster into the forest and hangs out in the trees all day watching his pigs. There are 2 kings that get lost in the forest. One's daughter is a beotch and she gets her comeuppances later after hedgehog boy pokes the crap out of her with his spikes. The other kings daughter isn't that crazy about him, but she does what she has to do. Somehow the hedgehog part of the boy is burned off (?) and he is now a handsome young man. So the 2nd king wins the game.
