Every response so far has been right. Rumplestiltskin had no daughter. The only way he could get a child was to cheat the heroine of hers. I posted this mainly because no one I mentioned it to knew what I was talking about; I was beginning to wonder if I was going crazy... And marishak was very confused at getting my mail. I'm going to have to quit switching accounts so much. McD

As I was passing through a room where TP was being played (sorry I don't know
the edition), the question being read was:
What was it that Rumpelstiltskin's daughter had
to spin into gold?
No one I have discussed this with has caught what's wrong with this question.
Any takers out there? Or am I getting _too_ trivial?
