next The Girl Who Spun Straw into Gold back index home


The girl started spinning the mud and straw, and before daybreak she had finished.

She had made glittering, beautiful gold thread.

Every one in the castle was amazed by it and was happy for the prince to have found such a wonderful wife.

However, the girl was not pleased at all and only cried.

She was so worried about the promise to the dwarf, and scared the night would come soon.

When it became dark, the prince came back from hunting.

He saw the girl’s tear stained face and tried to comfort her.
