Rumpelstiltskin, the Dwarf (Part -- II)
After the King had gone away, the miller’s daughter felt so shocked and puzzled that she kept weeping in a corner of the room.
Four hours
passed. Then, all of a sudden, the door miraculously got opened. Right then, a
dwarf stepped in.
The dwarf asked
her, “What’s wrong? Why do you weep, buddy?”
Then the
miller’s daughter answered with sobs, “My father has promised the King that I would
spin all the straw into gold. Therefore, the King has given me all these to
spin into gold.”
The dwarf replied,
“Well, I can do this task for you. But what will you give me instead?”
The girl could
hardly believe her ears.
Then the dwarf
said once again, “Yes, you heard me right. But what will you give me for my
work?”
“I will give you
my necklace instead,” she answered.
Thus, the dwarf
sat down to spin gold out of the straw. After his work had been over, he
sneaked away.
The next
morning, the King opened the door with a bit of anxiety. Immediately, he found
the straw turned into gold. He could hardly believe his eyes. He applauded the
miller as well as his daughter.
