Once upon a time there was a woman who loved to brag about her son, Laurance.
One day she went to visit a friend who worked as a chef in the palace.
“My son is very handsome and skillful!”
While she was bragging the princess was passing by and heard everything.
“He can even make priceless crowns!”
“REALLY!!!” exclaimed the princess.
“You must send him to me!”
“Yes your majesty.”
“Wait!” yelled the mother.
“I..I might of been over exaggerating!”
“Well...SEND HIM TO ME ANYWAY!!”
“Y...Y..Yes your majesty…”
As the mother made her way home Laurance was there.
“Is everything alright mother?”asked Laurence.
“Well...I..Um..”
“Oh no what have you been saying now?”
“Well..I may of said that you could make priceless...heh..Crowns..” the mother said.
“Oh mother!” cried Laurance
“But Laurance my dear, I was simply telling my friend, the chef, how clever you are!’ His mother said.
So Laurance hurried to get some things together and returned to the castle with the princess's guards and his mother.
The princess was waiting in the hall.
“I understand you have a remarkable gift,” Said the Princess
“I believe my mother may have over exaggerated somewhat, he is inclined to say things he may not mean.” Laurance said
“But I heard him say it with my own ears.” the princess said
“A room is ready for you.” A guard said as he approached them.
Before Laurance could say anything else she was led to a large room full of piles of straw that she was supposed to turn into priceless crowns, then the door slammed behind him.
Laurance sat down against the door and water began to fill his eyes.
How could he turn straw into gold? It was impossible!
Night was passing and Laurence's fingers were sore with trying to spin straw but not a single coin of gold appeared.
He put his head in his hands, it was hopeless.
“Ahem. maybe I can help.”
Laurance looked up, he had heard no one come in but there standing in front of him
was a strange looking dwarf “I don’t think anyone can help.” Laurance said
“Why ever not?” The women asked “I must spin this straw into crowns for the princess.” Laurance said “Well,” The dwarf said looking around “Maybe I CAN help. You rest up for awhile and when you wake up all your troubles will be gone.” She said. The boy couldn’t see how she could help with his troubles but he lay down anyways and fell asleep. While the dwarf worked she whistled which helped Laurance fall asleep....
