the story:

In the fairytale, a miller brags about his daughter being able to spin straw into gold. The king hence forces to daughter to do so, or she would be killed. Rumpelstiltskin is an imp who offers to spin the gold for her, in return for her necklace. The daughter agrees. The second day, the daughter has to spin more gold, and Rumpelstiltskin offers to do so in trade for her ring. The daughter agrees. The third day, he asks for her firstborn. She then becomes queen and is released from having to spin gold, and eventually gets a child. Rumpelstiltskin returns, and offers to let her keep the child if she can guess his name within three days. She names every name she can find, but never the right one. On the night before the third day, she spots the imp dancing in the woods, singing "tonight tonight, my plans I make, tomorrow tomorrow, the baby I take. The queen will never win the game, for Rumpelstiltskin is my name". On the third day, the queen mentions the name, and the imp, in his frustration, grabs one of his legs and tears himself in half.

This puzzle is based on that finale.

Happy Solving!
