"Nine Bags of Gold" (German: Neun Säcke voll Gold) is a German Fairy Tale collected by Franz Xaver Von Schonwerth. It has been translated into English and published in The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales collection.There was once a miller who had two sons, Hans and Michael. He also owned two mills, so he saw that each son got married and inherited one mill before passing away.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When Hans' wife gets pregnant, Michael -whose own wife is too ill to conceive children- proposes to adopt Hans' son so the mills stay in the family. However, Han's wife gives birth to a baby girl, and Michael angrily declares he will only pass his mill on a male relative.Hans' daughter, Marie, grows up happy, but every so often she feels sad because she has no brothers to play with. One day she is grumbling about her loneliness as playing alone in the parlor, when elves come through the floorboards. The elves offer to be her siblings, play with her and teach her all kind of things if she does not reveal their existence to her parents. Marie keeps their secret, and the elves teach her how to read, write and knit. Meanwhile, Marie's mother grows concerned because of her daughter liking her to be home alone. Since she is forced to leave the house for increasingly long periods of time, Marie's mother plans to send her daughter to an aunt so she gets an education. She abandons her plans, though, when Marie shows her knitting samples to prove she has already been educated.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })When Marie turns sixteen, her father wants to marry her to a wealthy man in a nearby town. Nevertheless, Marie rejects his father's proposal for two reasons: first, her friends have warned her that man is a jerkass who will abandon her after squandering her family's money; second, she is in love with one of her father's apprentices. Hans grudgingly accepts her daughter's refusal, but he declares she will not be allowed to marry her lover until he hangs nine bags filled with gold on the spokes of the wheels in the mill.Shortly after, the prince of the kingdom falls sick with an incurable disease. Marie's friends reveal to her they caused the prince's sickness, and they have the medicine which he needs. Since her father is leaving on a trip tomorrow, she can go into the town and give him the medicine.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The next day, Marie goes to the palace and assures the queen she can cure her son. Since all doctors had exhausted every method and Marie looks like an honest person, the queen gives her permission to try. Marie succeeds and is given one bag full of money. She goes back home, wondering where she will find eight more bags. The elves suggest counting the money— nine hundred talers. The money is divided into nine equal parts and stuffed in nine bags. The elves tell Marie to hang the little bags on the spokes and show them to her father when he returns from the church. They also reassure Marie that her father may grumble, but he will not break his promise.Marie gets married to her boyfriend, and she gives birth to a baby boy one year after the wedding. Michael, who had abandoned the mill after his wife's death, visits the family and offers to take up his nephew as his apprentice. Hans and his wife can move with him and manage the business.And so Marie was given her father's mill and lived happily ever after with her husband. | |

Our Fairies Are Different: Marie's elven friends are small magical humanoid creatures who live beneath human houses, keeping themselves hidden from adult menfolk (albeit they like befriending and even teaching children). Although clever and benevolent, they are tricksters who are not above of making someone sick to further their goals. | |
