In a faraway
kingdom there once lived a boastful miller who had a very beautiful daughter. one day, the king of the land passed by and the miller wished to impress him with his own
importance. so he said that he had a beautiful daughter who could spin straw into gold. The king was indeed impressed. " If your daughter is as clever as you say, bring her to my palace tonight. I will soon put her to the rest." So the king filled a large room in his palace with atraw and placed a spinning wheel in the middle. When the miller brought his daughter to the court the king sai to her, " All this straw must be spun into gold by dawn, or you will die."
Then he locked the door and strode away. The poor girl sat down at the spnning wheel and burst into trears. she knew she had no hope of turning all that straw into gold. Then suddenly a small trapdoor opend and a strangelooking little man pulled himself up into the room.
