I'm trying to find the name of a story I read long ago in middle school. I believe it was a folk tale, and from what I recall it was about a knight who doesn't want to die, so he wanders and visits several people during the story, each offering him more years to live if he will preform a certain action, like chopping woods etc. He stays for a period of time in each place and then moves to the next and at last comes to live in an estate of an old man, where he is immortal as long as he never leaves the property. At some point the knight wishes to see the outside world, and his host provides him with a special horse that he is not to dismount, for if he did, he will be able to die. While riding, the knight meets an elderly man whose wagon got stuck. He dismount and approaches to help him, and then the man grabs his hand an reveals himself as death, claiming it's impossible to escape him, and that he finally found the knight.
Anyone has an idea?

it's a not uncommon motif in the fairy tales, yours one i believe it's italian "the land where no one ever dies" http://lets-talk-story.tumblr.com/post/49418722478/the-land-where-one-never-dies (i personally have read it ages ago heavily edited and more literary, with messengers of time chipping the lake and the valley of immortality drop by drop and grain of sand by grain of sand every n years etc, with the main hero much less sympathetic too)
here is a more complicated version http://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/142/the-crimson-fairy-book/5178/the-prince-who-would-seek-immortality/
i believe it's related to the stories about lost time like (you see, i have some interest in mythology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rip_Van_Winkle#Literary_forerunners
>In Ireland, the story of Niamh and Oisin has a similar theme. Oisin falls in love with the beautiful Niamh and leaves with her on her snow white horse to Tir Na nOg – the land of the ever-young. Missing his family and friends, he asks to pay them a visit. Niamh lends him her horse, warning him never to dismount, and he travels back to Ireland. But three hundred years have passed; his family and fellow warriors are all dead. Some men are trying to move a boulder. Oisin reaches down to help them. The girth of the horse's saddle snaps and he falls to the ground. Before the watching eyes of the men he becomes a very, very old man.
p.s. so, it's a woman on your pic. i thought it was a man
