00:00Once in a village, humble and small, lived a poor miller with no riches at all.
00:15His roof was worn, his pockets bare, but dreams of fortune danced in the air.
00:22To impress a king with pride in his eyes, he boasted a tale, a foolish disguise.
00:28My daughter's so clever, her skills never fail, she can spin simple straw into bright golden bale.
00:40Bring her here by tomorrow's first light, if she spins gold, your future shines bright.
00:47But if she fails when morning bells chime, she'll face the king's judgment this very time.
00:54The miller's daughter, gentle and sweet, was taken to a room with straw at her feet.
01:02The door was locked with a heavy key, and she wept in the dark.
01:07Oh no, this can't be me.
01:12Oh, what shall I do? I can't spin this straw. The king will be angry. I'll break every law.
01:19Suddenly, a tiny man appeared. His voice was sharp, yet oddly cheered.
01:28Why do you cry, my dear young maid? Perhaps I can help, if a deal is made.
01:36If you can spin this straw into gold tonight, I'll give you my necklace, sparkling and bright.
01:42The little man nodded, began to sing. The wheel spun fast. A magical thing.
01:51By dawn, the straw was golden and pure. The king was amazed. He wanted more.
01:59Tonight, you must spin an even bigger heap. Prove your magic again before you sleep.
02:06If you succeed, your troubles are done. But fail, your freedom is gone, little one.
02:17Again she cried in her sorrowful state, till the little man came, not a moment late.
02:24A bracelet this time, for my golden art?
02:28By morning light, the gold did gleam. The king's eyes sparkled, still chasing a dream.
02:41One more night, and then you'll be free. Spin all this straw. Do it for me.
02:49If you succeed, you shall be my queen. Your beauty and talent will grace my scene.
02:58The room was filled with straw to the brim. Her heart sank low. Her chances were slim.
03:06No necklace or bracelet remains in sight. What will you give for my help tonight?
03:14I have nothing left. Only a future unknown.
03:18Then promise your firstborn, you won't be alone.
03:22She trembled, but nodded. What choice could she take?
03:28And once more, he spun gold, till the morning break.
03:34The king kept his word. She became his bride.
03:39Their wedding bells rang across the countryside.
03:43A year passed by, and joy filled her days.
03:46Till a baby was born, her heart all ablaze.
03:52But one stormy night, the little man came.
03:56His eyes still glimmered, his voice the same.
04:01Now give me the child you promised to me.
04:05A deal is a deal. You must set him free.
04:09Oh, please have mercy.
04:10I'll give you gold. I'll give you treasures, bright and bold.
04:17No treasure compares to a baby so sweet.
04:21But I'll give you three days, your task to complete.
04:25Guess my name right, and your child will stay.
04:29Guess my name wrong, and he's mine away.
04:31She searched and guessed, names old and new.
04:37She whispered each one, but none were true.
04:41The first day passed, her heart still shook.
04:44The second day came, she read every book.
04:49On the third day's eve, a messenger ran,
04:53with a curious tale of a strange little man.
04:55In the forest so deep, by a crackling fire,
04:59a man danced wildly, full of desire.
05:04He sang a song with glee and flame.
05:07No one will guess Rumpelstiltskin's my name.
05:11The queen smiled wide.
05:14Her plan was clear.
05:15The final night, she faced her fear.
05:20Is your name Jacob?
05:22Or perhaps it's Ben?
05:23No, no, no.
05:26Guess again.
05:28Is it Conrad?
05:29Or Nicholas, maybe?
05:31No, no, no.
05:33The child is my baby.
05:36Then is your name Rumpelstiltskin?
05:40I say.
05:41What?
05:42How could you guess my name today?
05:45He stomped and raged, so wild and loud,
05:49then sank through the floor, lost in the crowd.
05:53The queen hugged her baby, safe and warm.
05:58Her laughter filled the halls with charm.
06:01No more secrets, no tricks, no disguise.
06:05Honesty's the treasure that never dies.
06:08So always remember,
06:12honesty and kindness will light your way.
06:15Tricks and lies will lead you astray.
06:18Keep your word, be truthful and fair,
06:21and you'll find love and trust everywhere.
