Story:
Once
there was a miller who was very poor and very boastful. He had a
beautiful daughter named Lisa. The miller lied to the King about Lisa
who could turn straw into gold.
The
King was so delightful and took Lisa to the tower room which full of
straw and a spinning wheel. The King demanded Lisa to turn the straw
into gold in three days or else she would be sentenced to death.
Lisa
was very sad as she would not able to grant the King’s whishes.
Then, a stranger appeared suddenly and offered Lisa a help. The
stranger was known as Rumpelstiltskin who spun straw into gold and in
return Lisa gave him her necklace and ring. The King became so greedy
and wanted more gold. Then, the King asked his servant to search for
every last wisp of straw in the countryside so that Lisa could turn
the straw into gold and promised her that she would become his queen
if she granted his wishes or else he cut off her head. As Lisa was
sitting sadly on the floor, Rumpelstiltskin appeared for the third
time and offered his last help to Lisa. In return, Lisa had nothing
to reward him. Rumpelstiltskin spun the straw into gold and for a
promise Lisa would give her first-born child to him after she became
a queen.
After
a year, the King and Lisa had a baby son. Rumpelstiltskin returned to
claim his reward. The queen was frightened and offered him all the
wealth she had if she could keep the child. Rumpelstiltskin refused
and finally agreed to give up his claim to the child if the queen
could guess his name in three days. At first she failed, but before
the final night, her parents followed Rumpelstiltskin to the woods
and they overheard him singing. While he was singing and hopping
around the fire, they discovered his name as Rumpelstiltskin. When
the dwarf came to the queen on the third day and she revealed his
name, Rumpelstiltskin lost his bargain. He was so angry and stamped
the floor so hard and vanished in a puff of smoke.
