It was midnight, Lisa was crying beside a big heap of
straw and a spinning wheel. Suddenly, she heard a
scratching sound. A strange little man with a long pointed
nose entered the room through the window.

If I don’t spin this heap of straw
into gold by tomorrow morning,
the King will punish me.

Don’t worry, I will help you,
but you must promise to give I’ll give you my
me something in return. precious necklace.

into gold.
