Once upon a time, in a castle, there lived a King with 12 daughters, the oldest married to a soldier and the youngest married to a frog who turned into a prince. It is festival day there, and the king is out to buy something. While in his carriage through the woods, he finds a hobgoblin named Rumpelstiltskin. “Let me out driver,”Tht king calls. He is wearing his royal clothes. “Guards! Come with me quietly.”He demands. “Yes sir!” the guards say in unison. They follow the hobgoblin to his cave. “Stay hear! I will go in the cave”the king said. He was going to steal some of his gold as “tax” and force him to make more for him in the dungeon. But, it didn’t really work that way. “I demand your gold as tax for the kingdom, for you, Rumpelstiltskin, …show more content…
And don’t take my gold, for if you do, your nightmares will come true.” The king took the warning with a grain of salt and took all of his gold thread. “Guards! Arrest this man for failing to give sufficient tax.” the king barked. “Just leave me and the gold and all will be well. I do not wish any harm to you, though you did embarrass me in front of everyone in the court.” Rumpelstiltskin pleaded. The king then ordered his guards off to the dungeons with Rumpel and the gold. When they got to the castle, Rumpel was ordered to turn straw to gold for the rest of his days. Now, his youngest daughter has had a terrible life. Her name was Grethel. She had a mother who made her and her brother go into the woods and stay there so that they could die, she was attacked by a witch, and had a bridegroom that tried to eat her. He has this nightmare every night where, in the dead of night, the witch and the band of robbers come back to life and kill and eat everyone in the castle. And, unfortunately for the king, he had this nightmare the day he stole the gold. When he got up in the morning, he was kind of wary of the warning Rumpel …show more content…

PPPAAANNNNNIIIICCC!!!!!!!!!!!! Warn someone.” the second one panicked. “Who’s there? I demand you show yourself, for I am the King.” the kind said frightened. “Don’t worry,”the voices said together, “we are just voices in your head.We are not real, but we do give real advice.” “Oh,goody,” mumbled the King, “first warnings from a hobgoblin, and now voices, IN MY HEAD, giving advice. Just get out of my head voices!” “Just remember...my...advi,”the second voice whispered as it faded off. He called the head soldier, who is married to his oldest daughter and won a challenge to find out where the princesses were dancing, and told him to tighten security. “Why shall we tighten security tonight? Is our security at night not good enough now?” “Just do it,”ordered the king. As you can see, he was frustrated and scared for his and his family’s lives. He was starting to believe Rumpel, which frustrated him. Then he remembered what the voices had said. He calmed down and walked away. He then called for the prince and the youngest daughter. He explained what had happened which frightened the poor princess, but the prince calmed her
