Soldier Who Didn't Wash

Complete catalog record
A bargain with the devil demand that a forlorn soldier not wash for fifteen years. He grows rich, and the King, short of funds, asks the soldier for help. The soldier tells the King that he will only oblige him if one of his lovely daughters will marry him. The youngest daughter reluctantly agrees to marry him. On his wedding day, the fifteen years being up, the soldier finally washes and is found to be young and handsome. The two elder sisters refused his proposal because of his looks, saying they would rather sell their souls to the devil than marry him. This evens things for the devil.
