thought the miller 's daughter ; and besides , she saw no other way out of it , so she promised the manikin what he demanded , and he set to work once more and spun the straw into gold . When the King came in the morning , and found everything as he had desired , he straightway made her his wife , and the miller 's daughter became a queen . When a year had passed a beautiful son was born to her , and she thought no more of the little man , till all of a sudden one day he stepped into her room and said : `` Now give me what you promised . '' The Queen was in a great state , and offered the little man all the riches in her kingdom if he would only leave her the child . But the manikin said : `` No , a living creature is dearer to me than all the treasures in the world . '' Then the Queen began to cry and sob so bitterly that the little man was sorry for her , and said : `` I 'll give you three days to guess my name , and if you find it out in that time you may keep your child . '' Then the Queen pondered the whole night over all the names she had ever heard , and sent a messenger to scour the land , and to pick up far and near any names he could come across . When the little man arrived on the following day she began with Kasper , Melchior , Belshazzar , and all the other names she knew , in a string , but at each one the manikin called out : `` That 's not my name . '' The next day she sent to inquire the names of all the people in the neighborhood , and had a long list of the most uncommon and extraordinary for the little man when he made his appearance . `` Is your name , perhaps , Sheepshanks Cruickshanks , Spindleshanks ? '' but he always replied : `` That 's not my name . '' On the third day the messenger returned and announced : `` I have not been able to find any new names , but as I came upon a high hill round the corner of the wood , where the foxes and hares bid each other good-night , I saw a little house , and in front of the house burned a fire , and round the fire sprang the most grotesque little man , hopping on one leg and crying : `` To-morrow I brew , to-day I bake , And then the child away I 'll take ; For little deems my royal dame That Rumpelstiltzkin is my name ! '' You can imagine the Queen 's delight at hearing the name , and when the little man stepped in shortly afterward and asked : `` Now , my lady Queen , what 's my name ? '' she asked first : `` Is your name Conrad ? '' `` No . '' `` Is your name Harry ? '' `` No . '' `` Is your name perhaps , Rumpelstiltzkin ? '' `` Some demon has told you that ! some demon has told you that ! ''
screamed the little man , and in his rage drove his right foot so far into the ground that it sank in up to his waist ; then in a passion he seized the left foot XXXXX both hands and tore himself in two .
