Children's story of Rumpelstiltskin, the jumping dwarf
Once there was a small kingdom where a miller and his daughter lived. One day they saw the king walking near his house, who approached captivated by the beauty of the young woman. Her father the miller decided to call her attention and told her that besides being beautiful, her daughter was able to turn straw into gold by spinning it with a spinning wheel . The king then decided that the girl would return with him to the palace to see this wonderful ability.Once at the castle, the king ordered the miller's daughter to be taken to a room full of straw, where they had also installed a spinning wheel:
-
You have until dawn to show me that your father was telling the truth and converting this straw in gold. Otherwise, you will be banished, "said the king. The poor girl cried inconsolably for hours. When he had already lost hope, a strange goblin appeared and said: Si - If you give me your necklace, I will turn all this straw into gold.
The miller's daughter handed him the jewel and
the goblin began to spin the straw that was turning into gold hasta, until there was not even a straw left and the room shone with the shine of the gold.
When the king saw the feat, guided by greed, he said: Ve - We will see if you can do the same in this room - pointing to an even bigger and more replete straw than the previous day. The girl was desperate, because she thought it impossible to complete the task. But, like the day before, el the jumping goblin appeared. This time he asked for his ring in exchange for turning straw into gold, and the young woman gave it to him without hesitation. Again, the goblin began to spin the straw and turned it into pure gold. The next morning the king saw the room full of gold, and for the third time he led the girl into a gigantic room full of straw to the ceiling. Rep - Repeat for the third time your feat and I will make you my wife - said the king.
Again the girl began to cry when the king left, and again the goblin appeared. However, the young woman no longer had any jewels, she had nothing to offer, and she told him so. En - In that case, "said the goblin," you will give me your first child.
Not knowing how to get out of that situation, he promised the little man what he wanted. And once again he spun the straw and turned it into gold. When the king arrived in the morning, and saw all the gold he would have wanted, he married her and the beautiful daughter of the miller became queen. A year later, he brought a precious child to the world and never remembered the goblin. But one day he appeared in his room and said:
- Give me what you promised me- The queen was horrified and offered all the riches of the kingdom if she left her son. But the goblin refused. The queen began to lament and cry, so much so that the little man took pity on her:- I will give you three days to guess my name. If you succeed, you will keep your son -
Then the queen spent all night thinking about all the names she had heard, and sent a messenger across the length and breadth of the country to ask for all the names there were. When the little man arrived the next day, he began reciting the list. He said, one after the other, all the names he knew, but everyone said the goblin:
- That's not my name.
On the second day she had asked the neighbors their names, and she repeated the most curious and unusual:
- Maybe your name is Pata de Cordero or Largo Lazo.
- No, that's not my name - he always answered.
On the third day the messenger returned and said:
- I could not find any new name. But as I climbed a large mountain at the end of a forest, I saw a pretty ridiculous goblin who was jumping. He jumped on one leg and shouted: Hoy "Today I drink wine,
and tomorrow beer,
then the child will without fail bring.
Never, break your head or not,
the name Rumpelstiltskin will guess!"
You can imagine how happy the queen was when she heard the name. And when the elf arrived shortly thereafter and asked:
- Well, young queen, what is my name? I give you three chances-
The queen said:
- Your name is Conrad?
- No.
- Your name is Harry?
- No.
- Maybe your name is Rumpelstiltskin?
- How did you guess? It is impossible! The devil told you! The little man shouted. And in his anger he sank his right foot into the ground so hard that the whole leg went in. And when he pulled angrily at the leg with both hands he split in two.
The queen never had to worry and lived very happy
with her family.
