Rumpelstiltskin Chapter 1

Once there was a miller who was poor, but who had a beautiful daughter.

Now it happened that he had to go and speak to the king, and in order to

make himself appear important he said to him, "I have a daughter who can

spin straw into gold."

The king said to the miller, "That is an art which pleases me well, if your

daughter is as clever as you say, bring her to-morrow to my palace, and I

will put her to the test."

And when the girl was brought to him he took her into a room which was

quite full of straw, gave her a spinning-wheel and a reel, and said, "Now

set to work, and if by to-morrow morning early you have not spun this

straw into gold during the night, you must die."

Thereupon he himself locked up the room, and left her in it alone. So there

sat the poor miller's daughter, and for the life of her could not tell what to

do, she had no idea how straw could be spun into gold, and she grew more

and more frightened, until at last she began to weep.

But all at once the door opened, and in came a little man, and said, "Good

evening, mistress miller, why are you crying so?"

"Alas," answered the girl, "I have to spin straw into gold, and I do not know

how to do it."

"What will you give me," said the manikin, "if I do it for you?"

"My necklace," said the girl.

The little man took the necklace, seated himself in front of the wheel, and

whirr, whirr, whirr, three turns, and the reel was full, then he put another

on, and whirr, whirr, whirr, three times round, and the second was full too.

And so it went on until the morning, when all the straw was spun, and all

the reels were full of gold.

By daybreak the king was already there, and when he saw the gold he was

knew not how to help herself, and was crying, when the door opened again, and

the little man __________, and said, "What will you give me if I spin that straw into

gold for you?"

"The _________ on my finger," answered the girl.

The little man took the ring, again began to turn the ________l, and by morning

When the girl was alone the _______ came again for the third time, and said, "What

will you give me if I spin the straw for you this time also?"

“I have nothing left that I could give," answered the girl.

"Then promise me, if you should become ________, to give me your first child."

Who knows whether that will ever happen, thought the miller's daughter, and, not

knowing how else to help herself in this strait, she _________ the manikin what he

wanted, and for that he once more spun the straw into gold.

And when the king came in the _________, and found all as he had wished, he took

her in marriage, and the pretty miller's daughter became a queen.

There’s a lot of debate going on about global

warming. Some scientists say it’s nature’s way –

something that has happened in the past and will

likely occur again. Others say global warming is

occurring faster because of human beings and that

human beings can stop it, or slow it, if they so

choose.

2. Examples of the

consequences of the

damage to the

environment

One thing is certain: We do not yet know enough

about how the Earth works to accurately predict what

the increase in greenhouse gases caused by humans

will do to the planet. The relationships among land,

water, air, plants and animals do not follow a simple

pattern, where one action automatically leads to the

same result.

3. Concepts about For instance, an increase in carbon dioxide (the main

greenhouse gas) may warm the Earth, and with the greater

global warming warmth more trees might grow. Trees absorb carbon dioxide

to make wood and grow larger. With more CO2 captured in

trees and less CO2 in the atmosphere to hold in heat, the Earth

would cool down. Right? On the other hand, trees are also very

good at trapping the sun’s heat. So with more trees, the Earth

would get warmer. Right?

4. The studies and

research about the

natural phenomena

We really don’t know for sure. After all, the Earth is a big

place – a place that’s worthy of your attention and study.

Perhaps someday you’ll unlock yet another of the Earth’s

secrets.

A year after, she brought a beautiful child into the world, and she

never gave a thought to the manikin. But suddenly he came into her

room, and said, "Now give me what you promised."

On the second day she had inquiries made in the neighborhood as to

the names of the people there, and she repeated to the manikin the

most uncommon and curious. Perhaps your name is Shortribs, or

Sheepshanks, or Laceleg, but he always answered, "That is not my

name."

Then the queen began to lament and cry, so that the manikin pitied her.

"I will give you three days, time," said he, "if by that time you find out

my name, then shall you keep your child."

So the queen thought the whole night of all the names that she had

ever heard, and she sent a messenger over the country to inquire, far

and wide, for any other names that there might be. When the manikin

came the next day, she began with Caspar, Melchior, Balthazar, and

said all the names she knew, one after another, but to every one the

little man said, "That is not my name."

The queen was horror-struck, and offered the manikin all the riches of

the kingdom if he would leave her the child. But the manikin said, "No,

something alive is dearer to me than all the treasures in the world."

On the third day the messenger came back again, and said, "I have not

been able to find a single new name, but as I came to a high mountain

at the end of the forest, where the fox and the hare bid each other good

night, there I saw a little house, and before the house a fire was

burning, and round about the fire quite a ridiculous little man was

jumping, he hopped upon one leg, and shouted -
