Answer:

His need to see the king so as to make whatever requests he has makes him decide to tell the king about his daughter's 'supposedly' ability to spin gold from straw.

Explanation:

In the fable of "Rumpelstiltskin" by the Brothers Grimm, the story revolves around a miller's daughter capable of spinning straw into gold. And through this story, the theme of being truthful and being responsible for one's own actions are brought into the fore.

In order to feel or be taken superior, or at least taken seriously, the miller decided to lie to the king by stating that his daughter could spin straw into gold. Greedy as the king was, the king immediately asked for the daughter to prove her father's claim, which resulted in the actual production of gold from straw.

So, the main reason or motivation for the miller to tell the king about his daughter's ability to spin gold from a straw seems to be that he wants to be taken highly or to appear superior.

A good introduction paragraph will state all three of the main supporting details to an argument. True or false?
dalvyx [7]

It is customary that the introductory paragraph should include the thesis statement, a kind of mini-outline for the paper. It tells the reader what the essay is about. The last sentence of this paragraph must also contain a transitional "hook" which moves the reader to the first paragraph of the body of the paper.

Given the previous information, we could conclude that stating all three of the main supporting details to an argument is a constituent of a good introductory paragraph because that would be considered as the thesis statement, which tells the reader what the essay is about.

So, the final answer is:

Yes , True
