Franga was an ugly girl who was forced to work constantly by her cruel father at his mill. One day, Franga's name appeared in the newspaper saying she could spin gold. A poor old man bought Franga from her father and locked her in a room, demanding she spin gold or be killed. A magical little person appeared and helped Franga by spinning gold in exchange for her possessions. Eventually, Franga escaped from being the poor man's prisoner through an unlocked door and lived happily ever after.
