In the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin,
the title character is a tiny imp who has ability
to spin straw into gold. Set within a fanciful
fairy it is easy to suspend disbelief and just
accept that this is possible. Ah-if only it were
so easy. Someone who is quite charismatic and
charming may now be trying to convince you of
something quite fantastical. You may even be
inclined to believe it because the story is so
well-told. But beware of anyone who has a
fantastic story to tell, Moonchild. Look at it
realistically.
