Koschei the deathless is one, but I know I've read others that are similar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koschei And there's a silly kid's song, The green grass grows all around, for that matter, that I think may come from a similar idea, since the progression of things is the same as how the hearts are usually hidden. But maybe I'm just projecting. :)
