I like most especially the ending, and the way he changed it up from the traditional telling of the story. If she could guessed correctly, she could keep her baby. He gave her three days to discover his name. The little man came back to hold the woman to her promise, but she begged him to change his mind. He made her promise to giver her her first born son.
On the last day, she had nothing left to give the man. A little man mysteriously appeared and told her he could do it for her, but he wanted something in return. However, the girl was unable to do as the king asked. He put her in a room full of straw and demanded that the straw be turned into gold by morning, or it would be her life. Naturally, the king demanded her to be brought to him. He wanted to impress the king, so he told him that he had a beautiful daughter who could spin straw into gold. New York: Dutton Children’s Books, 1986.Ī miller was on his way to town when he encountered the king.
