英语故事
Rumpelstiltskin
There
was
once
a
poor
miller
who
boasted
to
the
King
，
“
I
have
a
daughter
who
can
spin
gold
out
of
straw.
”
The King said
，
“
That is an art that I like very much. Bring
your daughter to my castle tomorrow and I will test her.
”
The
girl
was
brought
to
the
King
and
led
into
a
room
which was full of straw. The King gave her a spinning wheel
and
reel
and
said
，
“
If
you
have
not
spun
this
straw
into
gold
by
tomorrow
you
must
die.
”
Then
he
left
the
miller
’
s
daughter
and locked the door.
The
girl
sat
there
and
did
not
know
what
to
do.
Never
in her life had she spun straw into gold. She began to cry.
Then all at once the door opened and a little man came into
the
room.
“
Good
evening
，
young
lady
，
”
he
said
as
he
smiled
at her.
“
Why are you crying like that
？”
“
Oh
，
I
’
ve
got
to
spin
straw
into
gold
and
I
don
’
t
know how to do it
！
”
sobbed the miller
’
s daughter.
“
I can help you
，
”
said the little man.
“
What will you give me if I spin it for you
？”
The girl gave him her necklace. The little man sat
before the spinning wheel
，
pulled three times and the reel
was full. And so the little man went on until all the straw
was spun into the gold.
Early
the
next
morning
the
King
came
to
the
miller
’
s
daughter. He was astonished and very pleased about all that
gold. But then he wanted more. So he had the girl locked in
a bigger room with more straw.
“
Spin this straw into gold by
the morning
，
”
he ordered the miller
’
s daughter.
As soon as the King had left
，
the little man came
back and offered his services. The girl pulled her ring off
her finger and gave it to the little man. He sat before the
spinning wheel again
，
and pulled three times
，
and the reel
was full. He went on until all the straw was spun into gold.
But the King was so greedy for gold that he had the
miller
’
s
daughter
locked
in
an
even
bigger
room
the
next
night.
That held even more straw than the earlier rooms.
“
If
you
can
spin
this
straw
into
gold
by
the
morning
，
too
，
you shall become my wife
，
”
said the King.
As
soon
as
the
King
had
left
the
miller
’
s
daughter
，
the door opened again and the little man entered.
