Dear Paul O Zelinsky
We Loved RumpelStiltskin because it was cool to see straw turn to gold.I loved when the little man came out of the straw.It was funny when the little man flyed out the window on a wooden spoon.

Once upon a time in the desert far far away.There was farmer with a dog and a pig.The farmer told the pig and the dog to carry the wheat.But the dog did not help the pig carry the wheat.The pig stopped at a big hill and asked the dog to help and the dog said no to the pig.The pig told the farmer.Then he made the dog carry the pig and the wheat up the hill.But with a heaver load if he had just helped the dog in the first place.
