The Handless Maiden
At last the Miller promised, and he went to the maiden, and said “My child, if I do not cut off both your hands the Evil One will carry me away, and in my terror I have promised him. Now help me in my trouble, and forgive me for the wickedness I am about to do to you.
She replied, “Dear father, do with me what you will. I am your daughter.”– “The Handless Maiden”, Grimm’s Fairy Tales
