interested in her supposedability to spin straw into gold and risks being
executed by the King if she fails to do so. Luckily, for her,

once but _______________ times.
Next, boasting and bragging sometimes amount to
___________________and lying and this is despicable. In the case of
Lisas father and mother, they ______________ to the King about their
daughters ability to _________________________.
Although she finally marries the King, she has to pay for her parents
folly. She also almost loses her _____________________ to the
