"Rumpelstiltskin" is a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm about a little goblin who spins straw into gold to give to the miller's daughter. In return, he demands her firstborn child, provided she becomes queen. The queen can keep her child if she guesses its name within three days, which she manages to do with the help of a messenger. https://budgetpixel.com/blog/fairytalefolklore-imagevideosong-challenge-march-20-26-2026

“I’m familiar with a lot of Grimm’s fairy tales in Japan, but I’d never heard this story before. Really beautiful song and lyrics — nice!👍
