Classic story presented by Sigman Brothers. RUMPELSTILTSKIN tale was one collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. Researchers believe the story originated around 4,000 years ago.

According to the story, a Miller lies to a King, telling him that his daughter can spin straw into gold. The King calls for the girl, shuts her in a tower room and demands she spin the straw into gold by morning or he will cut off her father's head. When she has given up all hope, an imp-like creature appears and spins the straw into gold in return for her necklace. The King demands the same on the second day. On the third day, the King said that he will marry her if she can fill this room with gold or execute her father if she cannot, the girl has nothing left with which to pay the strange creature. He extracts from her a promise that she will give him her firstborn child and so he spins the straw into gold a final time. The King keeps his promise to marry the Miller's daughter. But when their first child is born, the imp returns to claim his payment. He finally consents to give up his claim to the child if she can guess his name within 3 days. On the third day, after first feigning ignorance, the Queen reveals his name, RUMPELSTILTSKIN, and he loses his temper and their bargain.

Come see how The Sigman Brothers put their own spin on this time-honored fable.
