Exactly... love is good, men are useful, but never rely on either for your retirement.
So Anna is spinning straw one day, when a strange little man appears in the stall with her one day, marveling over her skill with the wheel, and promising her He could make her make her a queen. Now, Anna didn't care about being queen, but it had to beat spinning straw, right? And Anna was a smart cookie, sure she could use it to her advantage. So she followed the man's plan, letting him tell everyone she could spin straw into gold. Which, of course, caught the king's attention. He demanded she come to the castle at once to spin straw into gold for him for one night, and he'd reward her with a million dollars. Not a bad return on investment, if you can swing it.
