Rumplestiltskin’s Sister
Once upon a time, in a cottage deep in an enchanted forest, there lived a poor man and his wife. Though they had very little money, they had many friends, and loved each other very much. Their happiness was almost complete, except for one thing: they had no child.
When a story begins like this, this is usually the part where the wife makes a wish on a drop of blood fallen to the snow, or a falling star, or a passing fairy takes pity on the couple, and nine months later, a miraculous baby is born.
Unfortunately for this particular couple, however, that’s not how this story goes.
