Story Retell
Chloe Miller, who was coerced into singing by his own father, Mr. Miller, is a vocalist.
Although she never wanted to be a singer due of her poor voice, his father made her
sign up for the TV talent competition Find A Star. His dad told to Chloe to never tell in
front of people that Chloe couldn’t really sing.
Not long after, she was nervous thus she ran towards the bathroom. She didn’t want to
sing infront of the audience and the judges, especially Simon King. She heard a voice
inside a bathroom, “My daughter, Chloe has a very good voice like a gold. I’m really
sure all of the judges including Simon King will choose her as the winner.” said by his
father to the journalist in the backstage.

Chloe was approached by a small man who claimed, "I can help you win the audition,"
at that precise moment. “Like your father promised, I'll transform your voice into gold.
What do you propose to provide me in return?”

“I only have this ring,” Chloe said.

The tiny man replied, "I'll take that."

The audience applauded Chloe as she sang for the judges because of how wonderful
her voice was. Simon King informed the contestant, "You're in it."

The next month, Chloe and his father appeared for the competition on live TV. Chloe
was still nervous and afraid. As she hid in the bathroom, she mumbled words about how
can she sing like the previous time. Once again, the little man appeared and tried to
help her. “Give me your necklace, and I’ll make you sing like a gold again,’ he said.

Chloe gave in to the little man, and in return she once more received a golden voice.
Even the judges and audience teared up when Chloe performed because it was so
wonderful. Chloe will compete in the final round, according to Simon King and the other
judges.

This time, Chloe has entered the final round in Find A Star. As usual, she was fearful
and the little man approached her and asks her if she has an item. Chloe didn’t have
any objects to turn in, as a result the little man offered her a golden voice but he said
that one day he’ll ask her something to trade and Chloe accepted the request.

Chloe once again won the Find A Star competition. Her and her manager – Mr Miller –
sold millions of albums and they become rich. Even though she wasn’t interested at
singing, she thought of becoming an actor instead of a singer. No one first thought this
singer could also act, but she attended theatre school and worked her way up from
supporting roles in movies to modest TV program roles. She completely forgot about the
little man.

All of her hardworks have meaning, she was nominated for an Oscar for Best
Actresses. During the night, the little man approached her and said “Have you
completely forgotten our promise? Give me your Oscar Trophy! Or else I’ll tell the
journalist about your progress to win at that show!” Chloe was shocked, “No, please!
I’ve worked very hard to get that precious trophy!”

Chloe tried to offer her record and other objects, but the little man rejected the request.
“You have three days to guess my names, or else I will tell the journalist!” as the little
man said and he disappeared afterwards.

She tried to search on the web browser about informations about this little man, but she
couldn’t find anything. During the first day, Chloe guessed all of the names that she can
think, but none of them are correct. During the second day, she did the same act and
once again it was incorrect.

She had no hope, thus she scrolled trough her twitter timeline and found this one
trending topic. “Tommorow, the Oscar goes to… me >:)))))) #GuessMyName” And on
the third day, she tried guessing all of the names that she can thinked, but none of them
are correct. Her last option was the last tweet that she saw last night. “Is your name and
your username, Rumpelstiltskin?”

“AHHHHHHH!” screamed Rumpelstiltskin because she was right. HE stamped his foot
so hard that it made a hole in the floor, and he couldn’t pull it out. But he kept her secret
and Chloe Miller accepted the Oscar for the Best Actress and they lived happily ever
after.
