SCRIPT:
NARRATOR: Once upon a
time in a kingdom faraway there was a miller who was poor, but who had a
beautiful daughter. The girl worked very hard, and her father wanted a better
life for her. One day her father went to speak to the king.
FATHER: I have a
beautiful daughter who can spin straw
into gold.
KING: I would like to
see her. If your daughter is as clever
as you say, bring her tomorrow to my palace, and I will put her to the test.
NARRATOR: When the
girl came to the palace, he took her into a room which was full of straw and
gave her a spinning-wheel.
KING: Now get to
work, and if by tomorrow morning you have not spun this straw into gold during
the night, you and your father will be sent away from my kingdom.
NARRATOR: Then he
locked up the room, and left her alone.
GIRL: Oh, what am I going to do?. I don`t how straw can be spun into gold!.
NARRATOR: Then the
door opened.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Good
evening, why are you crying?.
GIRL: I have to spin straw into gold, and I do not
know how to do it.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: What
will you give me if I do it for you?.
GIRL: My necklace.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: I
accept. Give me your necklace.
NARRATOR: Then he sat
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.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: I
have to go now since I already finished my work. I will see you soon.
NARRATOR: Then the
King entered the room.
KING: Oh!. I am so surprised and delighted of your work,
little gir!. Now you will go to another room full of straw and will keep
spinning.
NARRATOR: The girl
didn`t know what to do, and started crying again. Then Rumpelstiltskin appeared.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: What
will you give me if I spin that straw into gold for you?.
GIRL: The ring on my
finger.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Give me your ring, and I’ll do the work for
you.
NARRATOR: Again the
Rumpelstiltskin began to turn the wheel, and by morning had spun all the straw
into glittering gold, and disappeared.
Then the King entered the room.
KING: This is
marvelous!. Now you will go to a still
larger room full of straw, and you must spin and spin the entire night, and if
you succeed, you will be my wife.
NARRATOR: When the
girl was alone the Rumpelstiltskin came again for the third time.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: What will you give me if I spin the straw
for you this time also?.
GIRL: I have nothing left that I could give you.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Then
promise me, when you become queen, you will give me your first child.
GIRL: I promise!.
NARRATOR:
Rumpelstiltskin once once more spun the straw into gold. In the morning he disappeared again. Then the King entered the room.
KING: Very good. Now you will be my wife. You will become queen.
NARRATOR: A year
after, she brought a beautiful child into the world, and she forgot about the
promise she made to the Rumpelstiltskin.
Suddenly he came into her room.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Now
give me what you promised.
GIRL: Oh no, I can not give you my son. I offer you all the riches of the kingdom if
you don`t take my son away from me.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: No,
he is dearer to me than all the treasures in the world.
GIRL: Please, no!.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: I
will give you three days. If by that
time you find out my name, then you will
keep your child.
NARRATOR: So the
queen thought the whole night of all the names that she had ever heard.
GIRL: What can his
name be?. I know, I will send a
messenger over the country to find out for any other names that there might be.
NARRATOR: When the
Rumpelstiltskin came the next day, she said.
GIRL: Mmm your name
is Caspar.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: No.
GIRL: Melchior?.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Of
course not.
GIRL: Then it`s Balthazar.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: That
is not my name.
NARRATOR: On the second day she asked around the
neighborhood for names of the people there.
When Rumpelstiltskin came again, she said.
GIRL: Perhaps your
name is Shortribs.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: No!.
GIRL: Then it`s Sheepshanks.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN:
Think again.
GIRL: Laceleg?.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: That
is not my name.
NARRATOR: On the
third day the messenger came back again, and said.
MESSENGER: 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, there I saw a little house, and outside the house before the
house a quite ridiculous little man was jumping, he hopped upon one leg, and shouted:
Today I bake,
tomorrow brew,
the next I’ll have
the young queen’s child.
How glad am I that
no one knew
that Rumpelstiltskin
is my name.
GIRL: Oh this is
great news. Thank you!.
NARRATOR:
Rumpelstiltskin came that very same day to see the queen.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Now, my dear queen, what is my name?.
GIRL: Is your name Conrad?.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: No.
GIRL: How about Harry?.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: No.
GIRL: Perhaps your
name is Rumpelstiltskin?.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Who
told you that?.
GIRL: Now, you have
to keep your promise. I told you your
name, you will not take my little son with you.
Rumpelstilskin: “Impossible!
No fair! No fair!”
Narrator: The little man screeched angrily, stamping his foot hard on the ground. He scurried around the queen’s room in a fit of
rage. He smashed into walls; he thumped
his foot; and he bumped his head. He
smashed and thumped and bumped and jumped.
And then, so blind with anger, the strange little man jumped right out
of the queen’s window. He was never ever
ever seen again.
