Answer 2

The Bible is full of them. You have David and Goliath, Samson, Moses (who has appeal far beyond his religious significance to Judaism and the daughter religion Christianity) The Gilgamesh myth has a guy who like our own The Man used to disrupt weddings, until some kind of sacred prostitute tamed him. I'm waiting to see that happen here. Saints legends very often feature men. George fought a dragon. Fransis spoke to animals. King Arthur was a man, as was Merlin the magician. There was some green knight guy in Spain. In Western fairy tales, like those collected by Grimm brothers see the soldier in The Tinderbox. Wandering soldiers and journeymen are often protagonists of these stories. Usually, these shorter stories are women's stories and the men are only there in relation to woman, the frog or beast who turns out to be a handsome prince, or the wolf who is really a wolfish man and the kindly woodman who rescues red riding hood. Look up something called the Stithe Thompson index of folklore. Look up (you can even google) Western hero myth traditional, Grimm tales male protagonist, or fairy tale soldier or journeyman . The Gingerbread Boy was a boy. He ran away from a little old lady and a little old man, and he'll run away from you too.

Answer 3

Rumpelstiltskin has a character who is spinning thread on a spinning wheel, but it ends up that Rumpelstiltskin is the one who turns the thread into gold for her, so he is actually doing the spinning. Sleeping Beauty has a character who spins thread. In the Disney version, the character doing so is Maleficent.

Answer 4

It's Rumplestiltskin. It involves a girl who has to spin straw into gold. The girl cannot do it, so she makes a deal with Rumplestiltskin by giving him something in return for him spinning the straw into gold. However, when the girl has nothing more to give Rumplestilitskin, Rumplestiltskin spun the straw into gold in return for her first child. When she is released and she has her first child, Rumplestiltskin wants it. He says that if she can guess his name, she can keep the child. The girl guesses the name and she lives happily ever after... at least that's what I remember and what it says on Wikipedia! Anyways, I believe that you're thinking of Rumplestiltskin!

Answer 5

Isn't it the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty? The evil fairy gives the girl a curse when she is born that she will ***** her finger on a needle while spinning thread and she will sleep for 100 years.

Hope it helps..

It's 'Rumpelstiltskin' but the girl doesn't have a name. She's the miller's daughter who becomes queen after she tricks the king, with Rumpelstiltskin's help, into thinking she can spin gold out of straw.
