The moral of Rumplestiltskin is clear enough: Always look for loopholes in your contracts, and exploit them without shame.

The dark one has always been my favorite character dearie...."All magic comes with a price dearie"

I think the moral in the grim version was to avoid arrogance. The father's bragging almost doomed his daughter and rumple's gloating in the forest allowed the messenger to learn his name.

I remember asking my sister what was the moral of the story and she told me "Probably don't make deals you can't keep".

The best version of Rumplestiltskin is the one from Once Upon a Time

The lesson is “don’t write a check your ass can’t cash”.

"Ach wie gut, dass niemand weiß,
dass Ich Rumpelstilzchen heiß!"

I never realised that the song only works in german (edit: works in dutch and other northern european languages too!) and people who read the translated version missed out on an iconic rhyme.

“And who knew he was a big Rihanna fan”

Omg 😂😂

"I'd rather just steer clear of the topic than spread potentially false information"
OMFG thank you for actually being a decent person!! 🤣 I really wish more YouTubers would hold themselves to that standard.

The moral is dont brag
The father “brags” about his daughter
And then rumple “brags” about getting her kid

I think the moral of Rumplestilskin is to not lie or brag about something that isn't true because you never know who will get hurt.

Once Upon a Time is an amazing TV series, and Rumplestiltskin is the best actor and character in the whole series. The way he say "Because we all know, every magic comes at a price!" has been imprinted forever in my mind. Absolutely stunning performance

I think the tales moral is, that words have power. to know the name of something that scares you, to call it out, that gives you power over it and reduces it's impact on you, for what we really fear most is the unknown.

In German he sings:
"Heute back ich
morgen brau ich
Übermorgen hol ich mir der Königin ihr Kind.
Ach wie gut das niemand weiß,
das ich Rumpelstilzchen heiß."
The last part is rhyming in german. Also the germans see the moral of Rumpelstiltsken, that you shouldn't make deals with the devil! It doesn't pay out well, because the queen can't find the solution on her own. ^^

German here. In German it kinda rhymes. Also I’ve grown up with the “creepy origins” . So in the version I grew up with the father was drunk and kinda flexing on the people in this tavern . So this rumor gets to the king who in this type of time is really in need of money. They also say they cut the fathers head of for lying or his daughter or both . He keeps lying cause at this point he knows he’ll die . He rather sacrifices his daughter. Then as you told I just know the detail that all the artefacts she gave Rumpelstilzchen
We’re from her mother that died. also in the german Version i know the father after is really bitter cause he and his relatives are really poor and his daughter now married the kings son.
Also pretty creepy: in German the rhyme includes Rumpelstilzchen actually singing that he is planning to eat this child . Good research I just guess in Germany they added more details or maybe some got lost in translation.
