LESSON 15

Read the third part of the fairy tale and say who helped the Queen to find out what the tiny little man’s name was.

Rumpelstiltskin

Part III

The Queen asked the tiny little man to take anything but not her child, and the tiny little man agreed to play a game with her. “Guess my name,” he said. “You have three days or your child will be my child. Goodbye. See you later!”

The Queen tried to think of all the names she knew. She began with the letter A, “Andy, Annie, Bobby, Billy, Carlos, Charlie, David, Dickie, Ernie, Eddie, Frankie, Freddy.”

The Queen repeated all these names regularly. Her people offered her new and new names. In the evening she felt very bad. She had a terrible headache and had to take some medicine. Her blood pressure was high. The Queen’s doctor listened to her heart and lungs every hour because the Queen felt a bad pain in her chest.

“Don’t be silly!” she said to herself. “You will guess the name. You will break the promise, but you won’t give your child to the tiny little man!”

On the evening of the second day the little man came. He decided to help the Queen and gave her the first letter of his name, it was R. The Queen understood she had to think of a name that started with R. She gave many names, “Roger and Ralph, Richard and Robert, Randy and Ronnie, Raymond and Ricky” but the little man’s answer was “No”.

At night the Queen sent her men to go and find the name. On the afternoon of the third day one of them ran into the palace and said, “I was deep in the forest and I saw something there, I heard something there, I found something there. Deep in the forest I found a house. In front of the house I saw a fire. In front of the fire I saw a man, a tiny man. He was dressed in silver from head to toe. He was saying a very strange word — “Rumpelstiltskin”. Over and over again he said,

Today’s the day!

Tonight’s the night!

Tomorrow I’ll take

the young Queen’s child.

I won the game.

Rumpelstiltskin is my name!

The Queen was happy. Now she knew the little man’s name. When he came to see her in the evening, she said, “I’ve guessed who you are. Your name is Rumpelstiltskin.”

“Oh, no!” cried the little man. “I’ve lost the game. Yes, Rumpelstiltskin is my name.” And with these words he fell to the ground in a cloud of silver smoke, and nobody ever saw him again.

Say whose words they are:

1) “Don’t be silly!”

2) “Today’s the day!

• Tonight’s the night!

• Tomorrow I’ll take the young Queen’s child.”

3) “I was deep in the forest and I saw something there, I heard something there.”

4) “Andy, Annie, Bobby, Billy.”

5) “You have three days or your child will be my child.”

6) “Deep in the forest I found a house. In front of the house I saw a fire. In front of the fire I saw a man, a tiny man. He was dressed in silver from head to toe.”
