Once there was a miller who was poor, but who had a beautiful
daughter. Now it happened that he had to go and speak to the king,
and in order to make himself appear important he said to him, "I
have a daughter who can spin straw into gold."
The king said to the miller, "That is an art which pleases me
well, if your daughter is as clever as you say, bring her
to-morrow to my palace, and I will put her to the test."
