"Old Hildebrand" (German: Der alte Hildebrand) is an Austrian fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm in Grimm's Fairy Tales (KHM 95) and written in an Austrian dialect.
[1] The tale was published by the Brothers Grimm in the second edition of Kinder- und Hausmärchen in 1819.
[1] A peasant's wife and the parson fancied each other, so the wife feigned illness, and the parson preached that whoever had an ill family member could go to the Cuckoo's Mountain in Italy, and get laurel leaves that would cure the ill person.
But on the way, Hildebrand met his cousin, an egg merchant, who alerted him and brought him to the house in his cart.
He jumped from the basket and beat the parson out of the house.
