ONCE UPON A TIME,THERE LIVED A POOR MILLER WHO HAD A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER . HE LIKES TO BOAST ABOUT HIS DAUGHTR'S BEAUTY THAT MADE EVERYONE ANGRY,AND ON ONE DAY,HE BOASTED TO THE KING THAT HIS BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER,ELENA, COULD SPIN STRAW(HAY) INTO GOLD.THE KING THEN TOLD THE MILLER THAT A LADY WHO CAN SPIN STRAW(HAY) INTO GOLD SHOULD BE PLACED IN HIS PALACE AND IF SHE FOLLOWS AS HIS WISH,SHE SHALL BE HIS WIFE AND IF NOT,SHE SHALL BE EXECUTED.

OH NO FATHER,WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?I CAN'T SPIN STRAW INTO GOLD,I'M GOING TO BE EXECUTED BY DAWN.

I'M SORRY MY CHILD,MY STUPIDITY IS GOING TO CAUSE YOU YOUR LIFE,I'M POSITIVE SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN,DEAR.BE POSITIVE.

BY TOMORROW,ALL THESE STRAW MUST TURN INTO GOLD,OR YOU WOULD BE EXECUTED.

BUT,BUT........

WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW???

AND ELENA STARTED WEEPING CONTINUOUSLY.....

JUST THEN SHE HEARS A VOICE ASKING HER WHY WAS SHE CRYING.......ELENA EXPLAINED HER PROBLEMS AND THE MAN WITH THE VOICE CAME OUT,HE LOOKED SO TINY,JUST LIKE A DWARF.HE TOLD ELENA THAT HE COULD SPIN STRAW INTO GOLD BUT NEEDED A RETURN INDEED,ELENA GAVE HIM HER NECKLACE IN EXCHANGE.AND THE MAN BEGUN HIS WORK.AND SO AS HE SPUN,HE TOLD ELENA NOT TO LOOK AND FALL ASLEEP.

AS ELENA WOKE UP,SHE WAS DELIGHTED THAT THE WHOLE ROOM WAS FILLED WITH GOLD AND WAS HAPPY THAT THE KING WAS GOING TO MARRY HER.

I'M GOING TO BE THE KING'S WIFE TOMORROW....I'M HAPPY..MAYBE MY FATHER HAS DONE SOMETHING GOOD AFTER ALL.

BUT ALL DID NOT GO WELL AS PLANNED AS THE KING BECAME GREEDY....

SO,YOUR FATHER WAS RIGHT,SINCE YOU CAN SPIN GOLD,I NEED MORE GOLD,MORE AND MORE TILL MY PALACE IS RICHER THAN ANY OTHER KINGDOM.YOU SHALL SPIN MORE STRAW INTO GOLD AND IF FAILED TO DO SO,YOU SHALL BE EXECUTED.

ELENA WAS STUCK AGAIN WITH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF HAY TO BE TURNED INTO GOLD.

ELENA STARTED WEEPING AGAIN...SHE CRIED EVEN HARDER THIS TIME KNOWING SHE WOULD BE EXECUTED THIS TIME.BUT,AS SHE WAS CRYING AGAIN,THE SAME TINY LITTLE MAN APPEARED AND OFFERED TO SPIN ALL THE HAY OVERNIGHT INTO GOLD WITH SOMETHING IN RETURN.ELENA HAD NO CHOICE AND HAD TO GIVE THE RING HER FATHER GAVE HER FOR HER BIRTHDAY.THE TINY MAN WAS SO HAPPY AND TOLD ELENA AND HE STARTED HIS WORK.

WHEN SHE WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING,SHE WAS ASTONISHED TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF GOLD IN THE ROOM.SHE WAS WAITING PATIENTLY FOR THE KING TO ARRIVE AND TAKE HER HAND IN MARRIAGE,BUT,AS THE KING ARRIVED AND SAW ALL THE GOLD,HE BECAME EVEN GREEDY AND TOLD THE PRINCESS THAT HER FINAL DAY TO SPIN GOLD IS TOMORROW AND IF SHE DOES IT TOO,THE KING WOULD TAKE HER HAND IN MARRIAGE IMMEDIATELY AND SHE WILL BE THE QUEEN AND IF FAILED TO DO SO,SHE SHALL BE EXECUTED.

AND THIS TIME,IT WAS TRIPLE THE AMOUNT OF HAY.....

AS USUAL SHE BEGAN CRYING WONDERING WHETHER OR NOT THE TINY LITTLE MAN WOULD COME ..SHE WAS PRAYING SO HARD FOR THE LITTLE MAN TO APPEAR...AND AS PER WISHED,HE DID APPEAR AND WHEN ASKED FOR SOMETHING IN RETURN,SHE HAD NOTHING TO GIVE,SO BEING SMART,THE MAN ASKED FOR ELENA'S FIRST BORN CHILD WHEN SHE GETS MARRIED.ELENA SAID YES WITHOUT THINKING BECAUSE NO ONE WAS SURE ABOUT FATE...SHE SAID YES AND WENT TO SLEEP AS THE TINY MAN BEGUN HIS WORK.

WHEN SHE WOKE UP TO A ROOM FILLED WITH GOLD,SHE WAS ON CLOUD NINE.SHE KNEW SHE IS GOING TO MARRY THE KING AND AS THE KING ENTERED THE ROOM FILLED WITH GOLD,HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK HER HAND FOR MARRIAGE.AS HE PROMISED,HE MARRIED HER AND LIVED HAPPILY WITH HER.

EXACTLY A YEAR LATER,THE QUEEN GAVE BIRTH TO A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL THAT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE HER.THE BABY WAS SO ADORABLE THAT SHE WAS ADORED BY MANY.THE KING AND THE QUEEN WAS SO FOND OF THE BABY.THEY NAMED HER ELIZABETH.THE QUEEN SPENT HER MAXIMUM TIME WITH THE BABY TOTALLY FORGETTING HER PROMISE MADE TO THE TINY MAN WHO SPUN ALL THE STRAW(HAY) INTO GOLD.SHE VISITED HER PARENTS AND WAS HAPPY,TILL ONE DAY........
