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:
- Your over ambitious parents can commit anything on your behalf and land you in trouble
- The stupid rulers will believe any s*** anyone tells them and harass the 'junta'
- Imps appear magically to help when one is in deep trouble (never seen one!)
- 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?)
- One can be stupid enough to fall in love with the above a****** and happily make babies
- 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??
- 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.
