Rumpelstiltskin

Most of us have heard of Rumpelstiltskin, the mean imp who wanted to steal the queen's first born. At least that's what the story leads us to believe. I am not sure of the moral of these stories but for me it's all the wrong things. It basically tells us the following:
  1. Your over ambitious parents can commit anything on your behalf and land you in trouble
  2. The stupid rulers will believe any s*** anyone tells them and harass the 'junta'
  3. Imps appear magically to help when one is in deep trouble (never seen one!)
  4. When an a****** who wanted to kill you wants to marry you for the gold you can spin it makes everything alright (dowry harassment anyone?)
  5. One can be stupid enough to fall in love with the above a****** and happily make babies
  6. When the poor imp who saved your life comes back to be paid for his services, you call him evil. Who was it who made the stupid promise anyways??
  7. Ultimately using all the resources you have you sneakily deceive the same guy who helped you in dire need and be very happy about it.
RIDICULOUS!!!
