Rumpelstiltskin Tells His Story From His Viewpoint

It's not fair. A contract is a contract. I'm being cheated. Oh, excuse me. You look confused. Let me start at the beginning. I am over 4,000 years old. I've had a hard life. I was born a goblin at the bottom of a volcano and abandoned by my parents. It was a little bit too warm there. So, I crawled out of that volcano to the surface of the world. I snuck into a castle to hide and sleep and snatch food. When I was a toddler, I realized that I had a few magical powers. I could change myself into a cat. What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a green cat?
