"No thanks, I've got it."

Farmers' daughters have always been strong and resourceful.  Need a cow milked or a field tilled? She's on it. Need your sweaters knit, or heck, a room full of straw spun into gold? She can do that too.  You can keep your crazy name to yourself (she's sensitive to privacy), and quit blocking the light from the doorway.  She's got work to do, and she's going to be Queen by morning.

Every spinner remembers the magic of transforming their first fibre into yarn (not to mention the magic of making something from that first skein).  It's magic that each of us has in our hands, no matter our skill level, tools or materials. In this reimagined version of the story, the farmer's daughter discovers this for herself, before Rumpelstiltskin ever gets a foot in the door.
