Chapter 23

That night we went to bed, and then in the morning we started to look up information about Pinocchio.

Kai: all the books say the same thing: a wooden boy, and then he turned into a real boy

Emma: what about the brothers Grimm

Kai: this is different from what the books have

Hudson: what does it say

Kai: as Pinocchio turned into a real boy, he created a truth glasses to see who was lying, and the brothers Grimm deemed it too powerful, so they took it and hid them.

Emma: wow... Nova, you found the book

Nova: got it

Hudson: the story of Rumpelstiltskin

Story

In 1812 the brothers Grimm discover the story about a small man who can spin straw into gold; when he helped out a woman, he always took her firstborn. Until one day he fell in love with a maiden, but she was in love with a prince. So Rumple helped her, thinking she would forget about the prince and fall in love with him, but that did not happen. She married the prince, and then Rumple's heart became black and filled with hatred. That night during a storm, Rumplestiltskin came for the baby; they pleaded with him for them to keep the baby. But Rumple did not want to, so he gave them an ultimatum: you have 3 days, and each day I will come here; if you can't guess my name, the baby shall be mine. They compiled a list of possible names to guess on the first day; they fail and also on the second day. The king ordered one of his men to investigate, and he followed Rumple to where he lived, and he was singing, and that's when he heard his name. He went back quickly to the castle and told the king his name, and when they said it, the ground below him started to shake, and Rumple disappeared, never to be seen again. He wanted the Brothers Grimm to plead to change his life, and they told him no because it would disrupt the balance between good and evil, and that's when he did it—he sacrificed his soul for eternal life. So he can get happily ever after, he thinks he deceived.
