Reading Notes A; Rumpelstiltskin

The Grimm Brothers' Children's and Household Tales translated by D. L. Ashliman; Rumpelstiltskin; Link

The main characters of the story are the millers daughter, the king, and rumpelstiltskin
The millers father tells the king his daughter can weave straw into gold
The king takes the daughter and asks her to fill a room with gold or else he will kill her
She cannot do so, but a little man named rumpelstiltskin comes in
He weaves the straw into gold three times for the millers daughter in exchange for her necklace, ring, and first born son of her and the king
Rumpelstiltskin says he will not take her first born child if she can figure out his name
She sends off a servant to find out all odd names he could find
On the third day he came across a little man dancing and saying his name
the queen (millers daughter) bested rumpelstiltkin and angered him so much he split himself in two
I could change the story by changing what the millers daughter can do. Maybe she can turn water into wine
The little man can come and help her but he takes different things from her, like her home, or her father to work
I could change the ending where rumpelstiltskin comes out on top and becomes king of land.

An introduction to me... Zack Ziegenhorn

Reading Notes EC; The Theft of Fire

Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest by Katharine Berry Judson I love all these native american unit stories because it explains things like why wood makes fire when you rub sticks together, or why the frog has no tail. The coyote in all these stories seems to be the sneaky character but also people trust him and follow him. The story explains how coyote stole fire for everyone when two hags were keeping it for themselves and wanted no one else to have it. Coyote and all the other animals would make a plan to steal the fire and bring it to the indians. They passed off the fire from animal to animal explaining what the fire did to each animal. Fire
