Rumpelstiltskin

A poor miller boasts to the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold. The king locks the girl in a tower and demands the impossible. A strange little man appears three nights in a row, spinning the straw in exchange for her possessions, then for a promise: her firstborn child. When the child arrives years later the little man returns to claim it. The queen is given three days to guess his name — and on the third night her messenger overhears him singing it in the forest.
