This story by the Brothers Grimm, but with a Driftesque ending thatI promise you is not at all grim, is about a cranky little man with a most unusual talent: he can spin straw into gold. But when he tries to collect his outlandish fee, a young woman has to guess his unusual name. And does she? Listen to find out.
