Rumpelstiltskin: Rewritten
Tales you've heard before aren't all that they seem
One such story is the tale of Rumpelstiltskin
Katherine, the miller's daughter could indeed turn straw into gold
In return, the greedy King held her prisoner since she was a child
Lo and behold she quickly grew to resent him, her
Light went out and darkness formed in her heart
And on one fateful night, a little man appeared with a dark proposal
Katherine quickly agreed to run away with him in return for this favor, they struck
I n the night while the castle slept, when
Night left the castle awoke to discover the King's body torn to pieces
G one was the girl and the little man who helped her; all that was left behind was a gleaming card in the King's heart that reads:
Rumpelstiltskin
