Rumpelstiltskin is the title fictional character of a fairy tale (called ''Rumpelstilzchen'' in the original German language) collected by the Grimm Brothers and first included in the 1857 edition of ''Household Tales''. In the tale, in order to make himself important, a miller lied to the king that his daughter could spin straw into gold. The king called for the girl, shut her in a tower room with straw and a spinning-wheel, and bade her spin the straw into gold by morning, or die. She had given up all hope, when a "mannikin" appeared in the room and spun straw into gold for her, in return for her necklace, then the following night for her ring, but on the third night, with nothing left, the strange creature spun straw into gold for a promise that the girl's first-born child would become his. The greedy king was so impressed that he married the miller's beautiful daughter, but when their first child was born, the dwarf returned to claim his payment: "Now give me what you promised". The mannikin was not a troll, for he said "something that is living is dearer to me than all the treasures in the world" and he was moved to pity. The girl begged the dwarf to let her keep the child, and he agreed, now on the condition that she Secret Name. At first she failed, but before the fateful third day, her messenger overheard the dwarf hopping about his fire and singing :"To-day I bake, to-morrow brew, :The next I'll have the young Queen's child. :Ha! glad am I that no one knew :That ''Rumpelstiltskin'' I am styled." The dwarf lost his bargain, stamped his foot deep into the ground and tore himself apart in his rage. ''Rumpelstiltskin'' is known by a variety of names in a number of other languages: *Dutch language: ''Repelsteeltje'' *French language: ''Grigrigredinmenufretin'' *English language: ''Tom Tit Tot'' (from ''English Fairy Tales'', collected & edited by Joseph Jacobs, 1884) *Spanish language: ''El enano saltarín'' (the jumping midget). *Hebrew language: ''עוץ לי גוץ לי'' (utz li gutz li) The name is believed to derive from an old children's game called ''Rumpele stilt oder der Poppart'', which was mentioned in Johann Fischart's ''Geschichtklitterung, or Gargantua'' of 1577, a loose adaptation of François Rabelais ''Gargantua and Pantagruel''. The story of Rumpelstiltskin is an example of Antti Aarne 310, The Maiden in the Tower (see links below). Other fairy tale themes in the story include the ''Impossible Task'', the ''Hard Bargain'', the ''Changeling Child'', and above all, the ''Secret Name''. ==See also== *Gnome ==External links== *[http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~wbarker/fairies/grimm/055.html "Rumpelstiltskin"] translated by Margaret Hunt, 1884 e-text *[http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~wbarker/fairies/grimm/055.html "Rumpelstiltskin"] **[http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimmtales.html D.L.
