Rumpelstiltskin

You were born to very poor father who works as a miller. Look in the mirror. Are you [[born as a beauty]] or [[born ugly]]?

Yay! You were privileged to be born beautiful to the extent that your dad likes to boast about you. When your father was called before the King, to make himself seem important, he told the King that you could spin straw into gold. Yikes! Do you come to the [[palace]] immediately or do you [[choose not to come]]?

Boohoo. You were born bandy-legged and lame of one foot, with shoulders stooped and drawn together over your chest. Attractiveness influences the king’s judgments towards you, and you live your sad peasant life alone. The king ruthlessly privilege the beautiful. The ugly get screwed. [[Return->The beginning]]

Your father was called before the King, and to make himself seem important, he told the King that you could spin straw into gold. The King requests your presence. Do you come to the palace immidietly or do you choose not to come?

You came to the palace. You were then locked in a room full of straw, given a spinning wheel, and told that if you didn't turn all the straw into gold by morning, you would die. You have no idea how to turn the straw into gold. 1.[[Do nothing and wait until tommorow->choose not to come]] 2.[[Cry]]

The King is disappointed with you. Off with your head. [[The End->The beginning]]

Suddenly a little man appeared and asked you why you was crying. You explained your problem and the little man said he would turn the straw into gold for you if you gave him something that belonged to you. 1. [[Give him your necklace]] 2. [[Refuse his help]] 3. [[Threaten and try to force him to help]] 4. [[Trick him into helping you]]

You offered the little man your necklace, and, as promised, he turned all the straw into gold. The Dwarf took it, placed himself in front of the wheel, and whirr, whirr, whirr, three times round, and the bobbin was full. Then he set up another, and whir, whir, whir, three times round again, and a second bobbin was full; and so he went all night long, until all the straw was spun, and the bobbins were full of gold. At sunrise the King came, very much astonished to see the gold; the sight of which gladdened him, but did not make his heart less greedy. He brought you to another room, still larger, full of straw; and then he told you to spin it into gold during the night if you valued your life. What do you do? 1. [[Agree to help him again]] 2. [[Refuse to do it]] 3. [[Shout and say that the King is very greedy]]

[[You fail to accomplish the task the king has given you.->choose not to come]]

[[It doesn't work and you fail to accomplish the task the king has given you.->choose not to come]]

The King locked you in a larger room filled with more straw and ordered you under the threat of death to turn all the straw in the room into gold by next morning. When you started crying again that night, the little man appeared for a second time. He asked you what she could give him this time to turn the straw into gold. [[Give your ring]] [[Don't give anything]]

[[You impressed the king with your stubbornness->choose not to come]]

[[The king laughs for a second and then->choose not to come]]

The little Man took the ring and began to spin at once, and by morning all the straw was changed to glistening gold. The King was rejoiced above measure at the sight of this, but still he was not satisfied, but, leading the maiden into another still larger room, full of straw as the others, he said, “This you must spin during the night; but if you accomplish it you shall be my bride.” “For,” thought he to himself, “a richer wife you cannot have in all the world.” [[Moving into the night]]

[[The Dwarf says I cannot help you then->choose not to come]]

[[Agree with his proposal]]

The Dwarf again appeared and asked, for the third time, “What will you give me to do this for you?” But you have nothing. Say: [[“I have nothing left that I can give you.]] Say; [[“I'll give you my soul]] Say: [[“I'll give you my body]]

Then promise me your first-born child if you become Queen,” said he. [[Promise to give your child]]

When morning came, and the King found all he had wished for done, he celebrated, and you became Queen after you married him. The happy times you had at the King’s Court caused you to forget that you had made a very foolish promise. Even the king turned out to be not quite the mean person he had appeared to be at first and you fell deeply in love with him. About a year after the marriage, when you had ceased to think about the little Dwarf, you brought a fine child into the world; and, suddenly, soon after its birth, the very man appeared and demanded what you had promised. [[What are you going to do?]]

[[Give him your child]] [[Offer him all the riches of the kingdom if he would leave you your child]] [[Weep and groan very loudly]]

You sadly give up your child to him. You no longer hear about the dwarf but you hear the cries of your baby in your dreams. [[The End->The beginning]]

[[The dwarf doesn't accept this suggestion->What are you going to do?]]

The Dwarf pitied you, and said, “I will leave you one day to consider; if you in that time discover my name you shall keep your child. However, you only have one try” What do you do? 1.[[Rack your brains for all the names you could think of]] 2.[[Send a messenger through the country to collect far and wide any new names.]] 3.[[Ask your people for name suggestions]] 4.[[Give up->Give him your child]]

The messenger came back and said, “I have not found a single name; but as I came to a high mountain near the edge of a forest, where foxes and hares say good night to each other, I saw there a little house, and before the door a fire was burning, and round this fire a very curious little Man was dancing on one leg, and shouting: “‘To-day I stew, and then I’ll bake, To-morrow I shall the Queen’s child take; Ah! how famous it is that nobody knows That my name is Rumpelstiltskin.'” [[Go to sleep and think about this name, wait for the next day]] [[Think of something else->Weep and groan very loudly]]

Some of the names you think of began with “Caspar,” “Melchior,” “Balthassar. [[Go to sleep and wait for the next day]] [[Think of something else->Weep and groan very loudly]]

You inquired all your people for uncommon and curious names, and the ones that came to mind were Dwarf “Ribs-of-Beef,” “Sheep-shank,” “Whalebone,” [[Go to sleep and wait for the next day]] [[Think of something else->Weep and groan very loudly]]

You meet the dwarf again and he asks you whether you know his name by now. What is his name? [[Caspar]] [[Melchior]] [[Balthassar]] [[Dwarf “Ribs-of-Beef]] [[Sheep-shank]] [[Whalebone]] [[Rumples]]

[[You have guessed wrongly->Give him your child]]

You meet the dwarf again and he asks you whether you know his name by now. What is his name? [[Caspar]] [[Melchior]] [[Balthassar]] [[Dwarf “Ribs-of-Beef]] [[Sheep-shank]] [[Whalebone]] [[Rumples]] [[Rumplestiltskin]] [[Rumbpleskin]] [[Rumpelstiltskin]]

[[You have guessed wrongly->Give him your child]]

“A witch has told you! a witch has told you!” shrieked the little Man, and stamped his right foot so hard in the ground with rage that he could not pull it out again. Then he took hold of his left leg with both his hands, and pulled away so hard that his right came off in the struggle, and he hopped away howling terribly. And from that day to this you have heard no more of your troublesome visitor. [[The End->The beginning]]

You made a deal with the devil and went to hell after you died. [[The End->The beginning]]

The Dwarf was surprised and accepted your proposal. You went and had sexual intercourse with the dwarf. It felt good. He then ask whether you will marry him. What do you do? [[Accept his proposal and marry him]] [[Kindly decline and marry the king]]

You married the dwarf and lived a happy and fufilling life with him. You repaid his kindness and that undid a spell which turned him into a handsome and charming prince. You had three kids together, Mike, Sophia and Ronald. [[The End->The beginning]]

When morning came, and the King found all he had wished for done, he celebrated, and you became Queen after you married him. The king turned out to be not quite the mean person he had appeared to be at first and you fell deeply in love with him. [[The End->The beginning]]
