| 0:00.0 | As you know, we are currently crowdfunding Snow White and the Widow Queen, and I thought that in this context would be a great idea to put out some old patron-only videos that interpret fairy tales. |
| 0:10.0 | It gives you an idea of what it is that you can find when you support the symbolic world, but this one in particular is the strangest of all. |
| 0:18.0 | It is the story of Rumpelstilskine. And I interpret it in relationship to |
| 0:23.3 | understanding how credit works. You know, it sounds very strange, but it'll help you kind of |
| 0:28.9 | understand what it means to borrow from the future, what it means to borrow from the strange, |
| 0:33.6 | what cost that has, and what opportunities that brings. So this will be the last video that we're going to put out in this series interpreting fairy tales. |
| 0:41.5 | If you haven't back Snow White and the Widow Queen, please do it now because the time is getting short and enjoy. |
| 0:48.1 | And enjoy. This is Jonathan Peugeot you want to check that out. but I thought I would take some |

| 1:59.5 | parts of the Bible because that's the place |
| 2:02.0 | where you can surprise people the most and show them that no, actually, despite the fact that it |
| 2:06.5 | looks completely off the wall and weird, the structure of the story is actually quite coherent. |
| 2:13.2 | Now, the story of Rumpelstilskine, I'll tell you the basics of the story, as I usually do, |
| 2:17.8 | and then we'll go into the interpretation. |
| 2:19.9 | So the story starts with the idea that some poor man is brought before the king. |
