• The king wanted gold, but the princess couldn't make gold. So R. helped her make the gold. Then the king wanted more gold. - AO
• The miller wanted his daughter to weave straw into gold for the king, but she didn't know how. So R. came in and said, "If I weave this for you, what will you give me?" Then she had to weave more and she got married to the king and R. would take her baby if she didn't guess his name. - CL
• The queen wanted to keep her baby, but she kept a promise to R. that she would give him her baby if she guessed his name wrong. So she sent out her servant to go find him. Then the queen guessed his name right. - RT
• The servant wanted to find out the little man's name, but she couldn't find him. So she went in the forest. Then the little man sang a song and she heard him say his name. - AL
• R. wanted the queen's son, but if the queen found out his name, she could keep the baby. So she went all over town to find his name. Then she sent a servant to find him, and she found him, and she got to [keep] the baby boy. - FM
• R. wanted the queen's son, but if the queen wanted her son she would have to figure out his name. So she guessed and guessed and guessed and finally found it out. Then she told him and he got mad and flew off on a spoon. - AR
