When the little man returned, the queen guessed that his name was “Rumpelstiltskin,” and never saw the little man again. She found him in the woods, singing about his name, which she quickly reported to the queen. After guessing many names without success, she sent her servant out to discover the little man’s name. The girl did not want to give up her child, so the little man said if she could guess his name after 3 days, she could keep her child. Time passed, the girl became queen and had a son. That is when a little man showed up to help her, ultimately trading her firstborn child for spun gold. The girl cried because she did not know how to do what was asked of her. So, the king called for the daughter and ordered her to turn a room full of straw into gold. The poor miller, wanting to impress the king, stated that his daughter could turn straw into gold.
