This story is called Snow White, written by the brothers Grimm, adapted by Lorena Romero, and read by Madeline Walton-Hadlock. This is a LibraryCall adaptation and recording. Once upon a time, a king and queen welcomed to the world a beautiful daughter. The baby’s hair was black as obsidian, her cheeks pink as roses, and her skin white as snow. Thus, they named her Snow White. Unfortunately, her mother the queen passed away shortly after giving birth to the child, so the young girl never got to know her mother. Years later, the king remarried.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN By the side of a wood, in a country a long way off, ran a fine stream of water; and upon the stream there stood a mill. The miller’s house was close by, and the miller, you must know, had a very beautiful daughter. She was, moreover, very shrewd and clever; and the miller was so proud of her, that he one day told the king of the land, who used to come and hunt in the wood, that his daughter could spin gold out of straw. Now this king was very fond of money; and when he heard the miller’s boast his greediness was raised, and he sent for the girl to be brought before him.
