| Summary: | The lazy miller spent all his money on wine and has nothing left to pay his taxes. So he lies to the tax-collector that his daughter can spin straw into gold. For three nights, she is locked in the castle tower and ordered to spin straw into gold. A little elf performs the task for her, and on the last night requests her firstborn child as payment. She marries the King and in one year the elf returns for payment. The elf does not want the baby raised by those who value gold above all else. The miller's hard working assistant saves the day. |
