I like this story a lot. It reminds me or Rumpelstiltskin which makes me happy because I've always enjoyed that story.
This would be easy to re-write, I don't know which aspects I'd change but I don't think I'd keep it as long as it is currently. I like the fact that they got into the mess in the first place because the mother was singing about her daughter eating five pies, got caught and changed they lyrics of her made up song to seem less embarrassing.
