A micro producer of organic flour told the local prince that his daughter could spin gold from straw. From a misguided wish for material gain, the prince locked the young person in a room full of non-genetically-altered straw. Unfortunately, the father had not been quite truthful. His daughter could do no such thing.
But a size-challenged person appeared and spun gold from the straw for her in return for future payment.
The prince married the girl, who had inadvertently promised the height challenged person her first child in return for his help. From the best motives, said person relented, and gave the girl a fair out: If she found out his name she could keep the kid,
In a win win situation for the girl, she used her considerable resources to discover his name. Poor Rumplestiltkin expired from unbearable mental stress at hearing it.
