Once upon a time there was a poor miller who had a beautiful daughter. One day, to make himself important, he told the king that his daughter could turn straw into gold. The king summoned the girl, led her to a room full of straw and demanded that she turn the straw into gold by morning or that she would die, before closing the room himself. So there sat the poor miller’s daughter who didn’t know how to turn straw into gold. While she wept, suddenly the door opened and a little man came in and offered to turn the straw into gold in exchange for her necklace. The following morning, the king entered the room and saw all the gold and was delighted. He took the girl to a much larger room full of straw and demanded that she repeat the feat. Like the night before, the little man went to spin the straw into gold for the girl who this time paid him with her ring. On the third day, the king took the girl to an even bigger room and told her that if she turned all the straw into gold, he would make her his wife. When the little man arrived, the girl had nothing to pay him with. So he promised to give him his first son.
