takes her to a bigger room
with even more straw. The
little man visits her again at
night, and agrees to help
her in return for her ring.

Lisas parents are always

boasting about her ability
to bake and make
wonderful things. They
intend to tell the king about
her talent when he visits
the village on that day.

On the third day, when

the little man comes to
claim the child, Lisa
correctly guesses his

days. On the third day,
Lisas parents decide to
follow the little man into
the woods and discover
his name.

At night, the little man

visits Lisa again but she
does not have anything
of value to give him. The
little man agrees to spin
the straw into gold if Lisa
gives him her first-born
child. Lisa agrees.
