There once lived a good little girl who had a very stupid father. The Devil comes up and tells this guy he'll make him rich in exchange for what's standing behind his mill. The guy's like, "Oh, I think a tree's back there! Sounds harmless enough." But really, his daughter was back there. Still, the girl is so good that the Devil can't take her to Hell, so he's like, "Chop off her hands, or I'll take you instead!" So the guy just chops his daughter's hands off. Anyway, the girl leaves home and winds up marrying the king, who makes her new hands out of silver. She has a baby, the Devil causes more trouble, and she almost gets killed, but in the end, guess what. Her hands grow back! Crazy world.
