Synopsis
Rumpelstiltskin, renowned for his gold-spinning abilities, shares his side of the classic tale. He recounts how he helped a desperate maiden spin straw into gold, accepting her necklace and ring as payment. When she had nothing left to offer, he requested her firstborn child, hoping to raise a son. Later, the queen cleverly discovers his true name, allowing her to keep her child. This humorous retelling offers a fresh perspective on the well-known story.
