Who is the fairytale character who can spin gold out of straw?
Rumplestillskin can spin gold out of straw. From net: Let’s lay out the facts of Rump’s case. An old man claims his daughter can spin gold out of straw. Now, over-exaggeration of a child’s abilities is a phenomenon that occurs in some parents, but the miller seems to be afflicted quite severely. Actually, he crosses the line and is just plain old lying. (Hopefully, we agree on the definitions of “is” and “lying.”) He’s a pretty bold-faced liar, too considering that this is not just some boast he casually makes over neighbor’s fence. He takes it to the highest office in the land, directly to the ears of the king himself.
