The girl watches him for a long time . His little hands move very fast . His foot goes up and down , up and down . “ Aren’t you tired ? ” she asks . “ Tired ? ” says the little man . “ No . I like this work . ” In the morning , all the straw is gold . There is gold everywhere , bright and shining . The little man goes out of the door , and he is gone again . The king comes in . He looks at all the gold , and he laughs with joy . He is happier than ever before . But is that enough for him ? No . He still wants more gold . A greedy man never has enough . V . The Third Night The king takes the girl to a third room . It is even bigger than the second one . It is the biggest room in the palace , and it is full of straw . “ You must spin all this tonight , ” says the king . “ And if you do it , you will be my wife . You will be my queen . ” The girl looks at him . She does not know what to say . The king goes out and locks the door . In the hall he stops for a moment . “ She is only a miller’s daughter , ” he thinks . “ But I cannot find a richer wife in the whole world . ” In the room , the girl sits alone . Night comes . And soon the door opens again . The little man is back for the third time . “ Good evening , miller’s daughter , ” he says . “ Here I am again . What will you give me if I spin the straw this time too ? ” The girl shakes her head . “ I have nothing left , ” she says . “ My necklace is gone . My ring is gone . I have nothing more to give you . ” The little man comes closer . He looks at her with his small , bright eyes . “ Then promise me something , ” he says . “ If you become queen , give me your first child . ” The girl is quiet for a moment . “ My first child ? ” she thinks . “ But I am not a queen . I am a miller’s daughter . Who knows ? Maybe I will never be queen . Maybe the king will never marry me . ” She does not know any other way to help herself . And the morning is coming . “ Yes , ” she says . “ I promise . ” “ Good , ” says the little man . “ Don’t forget it . ” He sits down at the wheel for the third time . Whirr , whirr , whirr ! All night the wheel turns . All night the gold shines . And in the morning the biggest room in the palace is full of gold . The king comes in , and everything is just as he wants it . He looks at the gold . Then he looks at the girl . “ You are a wonderful girl , ” he says . “ Now you will be my wife . ” And so the king marries the miller’s daughter . There is a big wedding . The miller is there too , and he is very proud . The pretty daughter of the poor miller is now a queen .
