''Rumpelstiltskin'' (''Rumpelstilzchen'') is a German fairy tale collected by [[The Brothers Grimm (creator)|The Brothers Grimm]], although the story exists in other countries under different names. (Many variants listed [https://web.archive.org/web/20160701192101/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rumpelstiltskin/other.html here].)
The story begins when a miller boasts to the king of his daughter's (exaggerated) domestic skills; in an effort to appear important, the miller tells him that she can even spin straw into gold. The king takes a bit more interest than intended, and the daughter soon finds herself in a room full of straw with nothing but a spinning wheel and a death threat from the king, to make good on her father's empty boast.
