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.

Then he took the girl into a bigger room and gave her double straw to be spun into gold.
