Does anyone remember the story of Rumpelstiltskin?

If yes, then you know that the queen guessed his name and the dwarf disappears, without taking the queens’ first born with him…

Well, this is a darker ending… a new interpretation, not because I want to spoil kids fairytales, but because I was once challenged to create another ending to a fairy tale, and I have chossen Rumpelstiltskin.

In my fairytale ending, the queen fails at guesing the dwarfs’ name, and then you all know what happened…
