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.

Week 13 story; The Drunk and The Devil

Blog Story! Dillon Dilly is an American, a construction worker, and a drunk. He would only work on his projects long enough to have enough money for booze and once he spent all his money on alcohol, he would return to his work. Dillon was walking back to his home one day after a week long bender when he said to himself, " I would sell my soul to the devil just to get more beer." At that moment a tall, slender, black figure walked up to him and asked "What did you say?" "I said I would sell my soul to the devil for another drink" The figure said "How much do you want for seven years and at the end the devil will take your soul?" Dillon replied " I am not sure. It would depend" "How does $7,000 sound?" "Ill take $7,000!" "And the devil will take your soul at the end of the seven years?" "Yes, I don't care about that."
