Ane day the Rex came to town.  He heard the miller talking most his daughter.  The miller was saying that his daughter was the most amazing girl in their village, if non in all the state.

"You there!" said the King.  "What is so astonishing about your daughter?"

The father bowed.  He said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is and so clever that she can spin straw into gold!"

"Spin straw into gold?" said the Rex.  "That is astonishing! She must come up to my palace.  I will put her to the test!"

"Simply I mean…" said the miller.  He wished he had not told the King such a thing!  But now it was too late.

And then the miller'due south daughter had to become to the King'due south palace at in one case.  The King took her to a room piled with straw from flooring to ceiling.  He pointed to the spinning wheel in the middle of the room.  He said, "Now go to work!  If past morn you have not spun this straw into gilt, you will die!"

The Rex slammed the door and locked it behind him.  The girl was all alone.

For the life of her, she did non know what to do.  She had no idea how to spin harbinger into gold! "What will I practise?" she called out to the air.  "No one tin can do such a thing!"

Just so, an odd picayune man stood before her.  "Did I hear you say, 'no i'?" he said.

"What?" said the girl, shocked.  "Where did y'all come from?"

"Never heed that!" said the imp.  "What matters is I can save your life.  For a price, of class."

"You can spin straw into gold?" said the daughter.  "What kind of price do you accept in heed?"  She did not know if she should trust this stranger.

"What you lot give must be important to you," said the imp.  "How about that necklace?"

Cheers to Artist, Christmassocks

The girl thought, "Indeed, my necklace is very dear to me.  But non as much as my freedom."  So she said to the imp, "Very well. If past morning you tin turn this room full of straw into aureate, this necklace is yours."

The little man got to piece of work.  Very busy he was, all night long.  Whirr, whirr, whirr, until morning.  By then, not one piece of straw was left in the room – all of it was turned into piles of pure gold thread!

"You lot did it!" said the girl.

"Of course I did!" snapped the imp.  "Now mitt over that necklace!"

"A deal is a deal," said the daughter.  She took off her necklace and gave it to him.  And he was gone.

When the Rex stepped into the room, he was very glad.  "Look at that!" he said, running the gold thread through his fingers.  "Pure gold!"

"Yes," said the daughter.  "Now if you please, sir.  I'd similar to go home now."

"Not so fast!" said the King.  "I will have my servants bring new straw to fill up a room larger than this i.  Y'all volition stay at that place tonight.  Beware – by forenoon all the straw must be spun into gold.  If yous care about your life!"

"Await at that!" he said, running the gold thread through his fingers.  "Pure gold!"

"But I already–!" said the girl.

"No 'buts' about information technology!" said the King.  And he left, slamming the door behind him.  It locked with a click.

"Oh!" the girl called out.  "I was lucky last dark.  It will not happen again."

"Who says?" said a vocalism.  The girl turned.  There earlier her was that odd little man once again!

"I volition exercise this job for you," said the imp, "But you must requite me that band on your finger."

"I always loved that ring!" idea the girl. "But after all, information technology is just a band."  "All right, she said to the imp.  It's a deal."

So the imp spun the straw all nighttime.

Thanks to Artist, Delira

By forenoon, nothing only piles of spun aureate thread lay on the flooring.  The girl gave the ring to the imp, as she said she would do.

The side by side morn, the girl felt sure the King would exist so happy, he would let her go domicile.  Simply alas!  If two rooms of golden await expert to a king, three rooms of gold looked even better.  The Male monarch took the daughter to the biggest room nevertheless.  He had already filled with straw.  He told her she must turn that straw into gold by morning time.  Or else!

This time, nevertheless, the Male monarch said his son was coming back from a long journeying that very night.  In the morning he would send his son to the room to run into if the piece of work was done.  If information technology was, she was to marry the prince.  The king thought, "Even if she is a miller's daughter, I could not discover a better wife for my son."  Only he told the girl in a loud booming vox, if she could not do the task, she would marry no 1 at all for she would die!

He told her she must turn that straw into aureate by morning time.  Or else!

When the Rex left, the girl fell into a deep gloom.  How long would this continue?  Would she ever become out?

When she lifted her head, there was that little man over again.  "I bet you knew I would come back," he said.

"I could not know for sure," said the girl.  "But this fourth dimension I no longer accept anything to give you.  I cannot pay yous anymore."

"We volition detect a good price," said the imp. And he went to work, spinning the harbinger into golden.

"End!" said the girl.  "Delight!  I have zero left to pay you."

But the imp did not finish!  He worked all night long.  Though the girl waved at him and begged him to stop, 60 minutes after hour, information technology was no utilise.

By morning, the job was done.  "There!" said the imp.  "All done.  Now I volition tell you my price."

"That's not fair!" said the girl.

"Lots of things are not fair," said the imp with a shrug.

"Very well," she sighed.  "What is your price?"

"Oh, cypher right now," he said.  "But later.... If you get Queen, I will take your first born child."

"What?!" said the girl in fright.  "I cannot imagine I would always be Queen.  But fifty-fifty if I were, I would never hold to such a matter!"

"There!" said the imp.  "All done.  Now I will tell you lot my price."

"Oh, but y'all already have.  The straw is spun into gilded.  And so the deal is made!" said the imp.  And he was gone.

A moment later, a boyfriend stepped into the room.  "Miss, are you lot all right?" said the Prince.  "I know how hard my father tin can be."

"True, that," she said, and they smiled.  This young homo seemed very different from his male parent.

"When I am King," he said, "I will not rule equally he does."  The Prince looked around.  He saw the large piles of gilt, shining on the floor.

"How can you lot practice such a thing?" he said in wonder.  The girl said nothing.  "I was told that if the straw were spun into gilded past this morning, you were to marry me.  But know this.  If you really desire to get out of hither, I will help you lot.  Do not worry. I will notice a way to tell my father."

This swain was very dissimilar!  The girl wanted to get to know him better.  The two stayed in the room and talked about all sorts of things.  Presently, they had fallen in honey.  And then he asked her to marry him.  And the girl said yep.

So the two were married.  It was non long afterwards the hymeneals when the terrible old King died.  The prince became Male monarch and the miller'due south daughter became Queen.  In time, the new Queen had a babe of her own, a son.  Joy filled the palace.

Until one day, when the Queen was alone in her room.

All of a sudden, the imp stood before her. "Give me what you promised!" said the imp, pointing at the baby.  "Now!"

"I never promised it!" said the Queen.  She held her baby tightly. She said, "I will give you gilt instead. More gilded than you have ever seen."

"Why practise I demand gold?" said the little homo.  "I can make all the gold I want!"

"Then, I will give you a castle," said the queen.

"I come up and go where I want," said the imp.  "What do I want with a castle?"

"Then, I will give you servants to take care of you," said the queen.

"No i takes care of me!" said the imp.  "No one even knows who I am!"

"I volition find out who you are," said the queen.

"Oh, REALLY?" said the imp.  For he knew that no ane on earth knew his true name.

"Very well," he said.  "I will give you three days.  After three days, if you cannot tell me my true name, the baby is mine.  But if you guess my proper name, you can go on that infant for all I care. And no ane must know about this!  If you say only one word of this to anyone, the baby will be gone forever."

3 days is a long time to come upwardly with a lot of names, thought the Queen.  And and so she agreed.

The next mean solar day, the Queen wrote a very long list of every proper name she could think of.  That dark, in the babe's chamber, the imp appeared before her.  "Well?" he said in a loud voice.

The queen read the whole list of names, one by 1.  "Could your name exist Nathan?" she said.  "Lucas?" "Jacob?  "Hugo?" "Felix?" "Oliver?" As you can imagine, many other names, too.

"Not even close!" laughed the imp.  "See you tomorrow night."  And he was gone.

The next 24-hour interval, the Queen looked through every book in the royal library.  She found names from faraway places.  Names she had never heard of.

That night when the imp appeared, the Queen read her list.

"Maybe your name is Maximilian," she said.  "No? How well-nigh Gunnar?"  "Alfonso?" "Pointdexter?" And many more.

"This is boring," said the imp.  "But I will not exist bored tomorrow night.  The third night is when that babe is mine!"  He laughed again, and was gone.

That night when the imp appeared, the queen read her list.

The third twenty-four hours, the Queen did not know what to do.  She wished she could tell her hubby her woes, but she cartel not.  She walked to one side of the room, and so dorsum again.  Back and along, over and over.  "This does non assistance a affair!" she said.  She put on her royal cape and hood, and walked exterior the castle.

"If I accept peace and quiet, maybe I will think of something," she thought.  The Queen went into the wood.  She followed a brook to a big lake, and went past the lake to the deep woods hidden in the darkness.

Suddenly, the queen saw the light of a burn down far abroad.  And in that location was a phonation that was difficult to make out.  In that location was something about that vocalism, also, but what?  She stepped closer.  At last, there in forepart of a burn, danced a little man.  It was he, the very aforementioned imp!  Very quietly, the queen listened.

Thank you to Artist, TonyPerna

Equally the piffling man danced, he sang:

          This night, this evening, my plans I make

          Tomorrow tomorrow, the baby I take.

          The queen volition never win the game

          For Rumpelstiltskin is my proper name!

"Rumpelstiltskin!" said the queen.

That night when Rumpelstiltskin appeared, the queen went through more names.  "Is your name Yusaf?  Bobek? How about Salaman?"

"No, a k times, no!" said the imp.  "You are wasting my time.  I will requite you lot one final approximate.  Then that is the finish!"

"Well, I am sure this is not right.  But could your name be – Rumpelstiltskin?"

"RUMPELSTILTSKIN?" yelled the imp.  "How could y'all know?"  He was so mad that he stamped his anxiety.  He stamped them so hard that a very big hole opened in the ground, and he vicious right down into it.  And Rumpelstiltskin was never seen again.
