Hey, I 58 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.760 Have nothing left that I could give 59 00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:05.660 Then promise if you should become the Queen you will give me your first child 60 00:06:06.760 --> 00:06:09.620 Who knows if I will even have a child? 61 00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:16.420 What the Miller's daughter and not knowing how else to save herself she agreed then? 62 00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:19.740 Went the wheel and 63 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.660 Many times more and by sunrise every piece of straw had been spun into gold 64 00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:31.520 Shortly after the King returned and 65 00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:39.380 Finding everything as he wished he kept his promise and took the girl in marriage and the Miller's daughter became a queen 66 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:49.440 When a year had passed she bought a beautiful child into the world and she never gave a thought to the strange little man 67 00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:51.960 But one day 68 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.400 Now give me what you promised 69 00:06:55.400 --> 00:07:00.720 The Queen was horror struck and offered the little man all the riches of the kingdom 70 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.560 If only he would allow her to keep the child of the little man said 71 00:07:08.380 --> 00:07:13.400 Something alive is dearer to me than all the riches in the world 72 00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:20.020 Then the Queen began to lament and cry so bitterly that the little man took pity on her 73 00:07:21.080 --> 00:07:26.860 Very well mistress Queen you may keep your child, but only on one condition 74 00:07:28.060 --> 00:07:33.060 Within three days time you must find out my name 75 00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:39.780 so the Queen thought the whole night long of all the names that she had ever heard and 76 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.620 She sent a messenger into the countryside to learn of other names that there might be 77 00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:56.100 The first day when the little man appeared the Queen named all the names she knew 78 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.600 Caspar Melchior 79 00:08:02.700 --> 00:08:03.480 Baltazar 80 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:09.900 Icabod and many many more but to each one the little man laughed and said 81 00:08:10.250 --> 00:08:13.490 No, no, no, no, no that is not my name 82 00:08:15.510 --> 00:08:24.310 On the second day the Queen sent forth the messenger to learn the names of all the people of all the villages in the kingdom 83 00:08:24.310 --> 00:08:27.930 And he told them to the Queen 84 00:08:33.170 --> 00:08:36.250 Later that day the little man appeared again 85 00:08:37.130 --> 00:08:44.930 The Queen named hundreds of names even the strangest and most curious is your name short ribs 86 00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:49.250 Is it sheep shanks 87 00:08:53.430 --> 00:08:54.470 Bones 88 00:08:56.710 --> 00:08:58.410 Is your name 89 00:09:09.550 --> 00:09:10.230 On 90 00:09:10.230 --> 00:09:18.290 The third day the messenger again traveled far and wide but was unable to find even one new name 91 00:09:21.790 --> 00:09:29.430 At last he journeyed to a high mountain at the edge of the forest where the Fox and the hare say good night to one another 92 00:09:40.530 --> 00:09:46.530 There he saw a little house and before the little house a fire was burning and 93 00:09:46.530 --> 00:09:50.950 Round about the fire quite a ridiculous little man was jumping 94 00:09:50.950 --> 00:09:55.990 He hopped upon one leg and then upon the other and shouted tonight 95 00:09:55.990 --> 00:10:04.330 I babe tonight I boo tonight to me the child is do oh glad am I that no one knew my name is 96 00:10:05.710 --> 00:10:06.390 Rumpelstiltskin 97 00:10:07.230 --> 00:10:10.390 With great haste then the messenger returned 98 00:10:17.210 --> 00:10:21.190 And you may imagine how the Queen rejoiced when she heard that name 99 00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:29.190 Soon afterwards the little man came in and asked 100 00:10:31.770 --> 00:10:34.370 What is my name 101 00:10:35.210 --> 00:10:37.170 Is it Thomas 102 00:10:48.490 --> 00:10:50.530 Perhaps your name is 103 00:10:51.710 --> 00:10:57.630 Rumpelstiltskin the devil told you that the devil told you that cry the little man and in his anger 104 00:10:57.630 --> 00:10:59.190 The window 105 00:11:03.370 --> 00:11:10.310 Then in a rage he plunged his white foot deep into the earth and pulled at his left leg so hard that he tore himself 106 00:11:13.830 --> 00:11:17.310 And that was the end of Rumpelstiltskin 107 00:11:21.790 --> 00:11:26.190 I'm saying the Queen kept her dear child and lived happily thereafter 108 00:11:58.630 --> 00:12:00.030 You
