pages
1
A greedy leprechaun wants to become the ruler of the world
He makes a deal with the devil:
If
he consumes the heart of a predestined (royal) infant then he will have the
power of the darkness. ( this is because he’s killing and consuming something
so pure you have the heart and conscience to possess the power of the dark)
But he only
has one try and if he fails his soul goes to the devil.

(as a leprechaun he can give wishes, or in his case deals) He makes deals with a maiden to spin
straw into gold (he has the power to make gold as he is a leprechaun) in
hopes that by helping her the king will marry her and he will cunningly get her
child
The first night he gets her necklace, the second her ring,
but on the third night she has nothing left to give.
Rumpelstiltskin
agrees to spin her straw again in exchange for her first born, and she agrees
The maiden and the king marry, and upon the birth of her son
Rumpelstiltskin appears to collect his due
The
queen begs for another deal in order to keep her child
Rumpelstiltskin
agreed, “if you guess my name in three days time, you may keep your
child. But if you fail the child is mine”

Each day the queen guessed wrong
The second night Rumpelstiltskin prepared for his feast,
dancing around a fire,
“today I brew, tomorrow I bake
and then the prince child I will take
for no one knows my little game
for Rumpelstiltskin is my name”
the 3rd day arrived and the queen guessed his name,
“ the devil told you” Rumpelstiltskin exclaimed as he stomped his foot so hard
it went waist deep. He grabbed his other leg with both hands to pull him self
out, and tore himself in two. And the devil then collected his due
