RAPUNZEL
Once upon a time a couple lived in a house next door to a witch. The
wife longed to eat the lettuces in the witch's beautiful garden.
The wife wanted the lettuces so much that her husband decided to steal
them but he was caught by the witch. "Have the lettuces but soon you
will have a baby and you must give me your child when she is born."
The man was so scared that he agreed to everything she asked. When
the little girl was born, the witch took her away and named her
Rapunzel
When Rapunzel grew up, the witch locked her away in a tower in the
middle of a forest with one window right at the top. Whilst Rapunzel
lived in the tower her golden hair grew longer and longer.
When the witch visited she would call "Rapunzell Rapunzell Let down your
long hair". Rapunzel let down her hair and the witch climbed up.
One day a handsome Prince rode through the wood and found the tower.
He heard singing and saw Rapunzel at the window. He watched the witch
come to the tower and climb Rapunzel's hair and decided to do the
same.
The prince visited Rapunzel every day but when the witch found out she
tricked the prince and threw him out of the tower. He fell on some
thorns and scratched his eyes.
The prince was blind for a long time until one day he heard Rapunzel.
When she saw it was her prince, she cried with happiness. Her tears
touched his eyes and he could see again! They lived happily ever after in
his kingdom.
