  Today we read, Rumpelstiltskin.

  Once there was a poor miller who had a very beautiful daughter.
• 0:17
  He was so poor he couldn't pay his taxes.
• 0:20
  And when the king threatened to put him into prison, the miller's desperation
• 0:25
  said, I have a daughter who can spin gold out of the shore.
• 0:31
  Then bring her to me in immediately, ordered the king.
• 0:37
  The frightened girl was led to a room which was filled with a huge house door.
• 0:43
  Spin all this into gold before morning or you will be punished, ordered the king.
• 0:53
  The miller's daughter pleaded to be excused For she knew that she was not able
• 0:59
  to spin gold out of straw It was no use,
• 1:03
  The door was locked and she sat there alone and wept After a while the door
• 1:08
  opened and walked in the little man Why are you sad?
• 1:13
  He asked The king has ordered me to spin all this straw into gold And I don't know how to do it.
• 1:23
  What will you give me if I do it for you? said the little man The girl gave
• 1:27
  him a necklace and he sat down,
• 1:32
  To work, he was spinning the straw into fine gold. By morning, he was finished.
• 1:40
  The king was delighted with what he saw, but he wanted more.
• 1:44
  So he took the miller's daughter to a larger room filled with straw and told
• 1:50
  her to spin it into gold by the next morning.
• 1:53
  Again, she sat down and wept. So the little man came into the...
• 1:58
  What will you give me if I do this for you?
• 2:03
  She gave him a gold ring, a gold ring, and she worked until morning.
• 2:08
  And he worked until morning when the task was complete.
• 2:11
  The king was greedy and he wanted even more gold, so...
• 2:21
  The next evening, he took the girl into an even larger room,
• 2:27
  filled with ruptures with straw, he said. If you do this tonight, you will be my wife.
• 2:33
  The little man came in before he asked her, what will you give me if I spin
• 2:39
  all this into gold and free? He despaired.
• 2:44
  For she had nothing left to give Then promise me, said the little man Your first
• 2:51
  child when you were queen The millard daughter agreed to give the little man,
• 2:58
  What he wanted through That she hoped she would never have to keep a promise Once again the peculiar,
• 3:10
  little man But a huge pile of gold and not a piece of straw was left.
• 3:19
  The next morning, the king found all he wanted, and the miller's daughter became his queen.
• 3:28
  A year passed, and the queen gave birth to a lovely daughter.
• 3:32
  She was so happy that she forgot about the funny little man and the promise she made.
• 3:39
  Until one day, she appeared and reminded her of it.
• 3:44
  She offered him the treasure of the kingdom but he,
• 3:50
  Refused to accept it. She cried and cried because she's not there to be apart with the little baby.
• 4:01
  The little man gave in to her pleading saying, Very well, I'll give you three days.
• 4:07
  And if in that time you can guess my name, then you may keep your child.
• 4:12
  The queen stayed up all night thinking of names as she had ever heard and writing,
• 4:18
  all of them down on the long list.
• 4:22
  The next day, the little man came into a room, began to work through the list.
• 4:28
  Peace, John, Mark, Isaac, Thomas, Henry, Jemiah.
• 4:33
  But every name she tried, she received a reply, no, that's not my name.
• 4:40
  On the second day, she tried all the strangest names that she had heard of.
• 4:47
  Like Ruby, Gug, and Boogie, but the little man just laughed and said,
• 4:53
  You'll never guess my name!
• 4:55
  The Queen sent her servants out to see they discover any other names,
• 5:00
  but they returned with no new names.
• 5:03
  But late in the evening, and the remaining servant making his way back to the
• 5:08
  castle, he heard a little man singing in the woods.
• 5:12
  Merrily, oh, merrily I'll be, oh, feast I'll make.
• 5:18
  Merrily the feast I'll make today. I'll brew tomorrow, bake.
• 5:23
  Merrily I'll dance and sing, for the next day is spring to bring.
• 5:28
  Little does my lady dream, Rumpelstiltskin is my name.
• 5:37
  This faithful servant told the queen his fortune in discovery,
• 5:44
  and when on the third day the visitor asked her, Is your name William? Is it Charles?
• 5:51
  Is your name William? No. Is it Charles? No. Could it be Rumpelstiltskin?
• 5:58
  Who told you that? Who told you that?
• 6:02
  Cried the little man and shook his fist and stamped his feet so hard that he
• 6:08
  made a hole in the floor and fell right into it.
• 6:13
  Moaning and groaning, he pulled himself out of the hole and ran away.
• 6:17
  The queen lived happily with the king and the daughter, and they were never
• 6:21
  bothered by Rumpelstiltskin again.
• 6:25
  The End Thank you for listening.
