Answer: Pride and the need to feel important

Explanation:

In the story of "Rumpelstiltskin", we are introduced to a girl who was forced to spin thread into gold and so turned to the help of a little man named Rumpelstiltskin who only helped her if she gave him increasingly complicated gifts with the last being her first born unless she could correctly guess his name.

The reason she was forced to make gold out of thread was because her father had bragged to the King that she could do so. He did so because he was a proud man who wanted to appear as though he was important to the King so that the King would acknowledge him.

Answer:

Explanation:

If I were a dog, I would be particularly concerned about a moving object. Think of all the fun I could have. There are 22 people chasing after that one thing, and I'm faster than all of them.

If I could get it, I could run all over the field and keep it away from them. I wouldn't have to bring it back. I could just keep on running until I got tired. Then I'd just drop it and run back to my lady.

Wouldn't that be fun?
