One day, a Prince was riding through the woods. Rapunzel was very lonely in the tower, so she spent her time singing. Then Rapunzel would let her braid hang out of the window and the witch would climb up with its help. When the witch wanted to enter the tower, she would call out: It had no door either, and only one little window near the top. When Rapunzel was twelve years old, the witch locked her up in a tower which had no stairs. She had very long golden hair which she wore in a braid. The witch took her away and called her Rapunzel.

“Well, I will allow you to take the leaves if you agree to give me the child when it is born.Īfter a few months, a lovely baby girl was born. “My wife is going to have a baby, and she wanted these Rapunzel leaves very badly.” “Is that so?” said the witch, with a mean look in her eye. “How dare you climb over into my garden and steal my vegetables!” she said. When the man climbed up the wall the third night, he saw the old witch standing before him. The leaves were so tasty that the sent him back a second and third time for more. He quickly gathered some Rapunzel leaves and climbed back over the wall. So, one evening, the husband climbed the wall of the witch’s garden. The wife had a great desire for the Rapunzel leaves growing there. She had some lovely vegetables growing in her garden. They were going to have a baby after a long time. Once upon a time there lived a man and his wife.
