That which is so universal as Death, must be a blessing.</h4>
<h4>
Several sites claimed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Schiller" target="_blank">Friedrich Schiller</a> said it (replacing "blessing" with "benefit'), and maybe he did say something like that in German. I did a lot of searches in various places just using "universal as death." It turns out Jonathan Swift said something similar: "<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>It is impossible that any thing so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind</b>."</span></h4>

<br />
<span class="addmd">The basic pattern of these stories goes like this:</span><br />
<span class="addmd"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="addmd">Young man gets three fruits or plants containing young women.</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">Young man releases women by cutting fruit, but fails to provide water for first two.</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">Young man leaves young woman in tree while he prepares for wedding.</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">False bride turns true bride into animal or plant.</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">Young man returns and marries false bride.</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">True bride tries to get attention of young man in whatever nonhuman form she's in.</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">True bride (in many versions) moves in with a woman.</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">True bride manages to get attention of young man</span></li>
<li><span class="addmd">False bride is removed; true bride moves in.</span></li>
</ul>
<span class="addmd">There is considerable variation among versions. For instance, the young lord in <i>The Young Lord and the Cucumber Girl </i>has to go on a long quest, get milk for a lion, meat for a tiger, chewing gum for a witch, drink from a blood-and-pus fountain, and slip past giants to get 3 cucumbers from a giantess. In contrast, the prince in <i>The Princess of the Third Pumpkin</i> had only to get up at dawn, put on his coat, and take a bottle of water to his parents' garden, where three pumpkins are growing on one vine.</span><br />
