RUMPELSTILTSKIN

Over by the open window, where rays of sunlight poured into the cramped enclosure, there appeared a small and peculiar being. It was a man. He slowly walked towards the girl with a large grin spread across his evil looking face.

"Who...who...who...are you?" stuttered the miller's daughter anxiously taking a step back.

She could now see that the man wore a rather crumpled shiny green suit with a few buttons missing and two rather crooked shining shoes on his feet. He had no hair but a long twisting beard the colour of porridge.

"My name is Rumpelstiltskin and I have come to...how do you say it...make a deal with you,"said a slimy voice.

"Sorry I am not allowed to speak to strangers and I need to work. I shall see you out." staggered the girl gripping her tattered dress tightly in her sore hands.

"I am sorry to interrupt you but I have an offer that is hard to turn down."

"W...what type of offer?" questioned the miller's daughter.

"Well, I get you out of this horrible hellish place in exchange for a small favour." Rumpelstiltskin grinned again, this time making the girl shudder.

"What do you mean by favour?"

"Well you will owe me a favour that I'm not quite sure of yet," sneered the man, he was clearly not accustomed to so many questions.

"Well I do hate this place and one favour won't hurt so..I accept the offer." said the girl looking pleased with herself.

"Good. I will come back at midnight tomorrow and collect you. Have a nice day!" and with that the man vanished into thin air.
