RE: "The Tale of One Who Travelled to Learn What Shivering Meant" (1812): A Dull Grimm Story?

Hi, @hazem91!

Yes, you can expect that from a teenage. And this how his father said good bye (after his son, our failed hero, took an old saxton--who was trying to scare him--for a thieve and threw him downstairs):

"Ah!" said the father, "everything goes badly with you. Get out of my sight; I do not wish to see you again!"
"Yes, father, willingly; wait but one day, then I will go out and learn what shivering means, that I may at least understand one business which will support me."

"Learn what you will," replied the father, "all is the same to me. Here are fifty dollars; go forth with them into the world, and tell no man whence you came, or who your father is, for I am ashamed of you."

Not a heartwarming good-bye.

Thanks for the visit! It means a lot to me that you have taken the time read my post :)
