The story of Rapunzel
Plot
The well known German fairy tale is set deep in a forest. An unborn child is promised to an enchantress, Dame Gothel, as payment for a debt. When the child, Rapunzel, turns 12 years old, the witch shuts her away in a one-room tower in the middle of the woods with no stairway or door and only one window. Whenever the witch wished to enter, she would command Rapunzel to drop her long hair from the window so she could climb up.
One day, a wandering prince hears Rapunzel singing from the tower. He visits often and one day sees how the witch enters. After the witch left, the prince asked Rapunzel to lower her hair, and he climbed up and proposed marriage. But the witch finds out about the prince, angrily cuts off Rapunzel's hair and evicts her from the castle, taking her place instead. When the prince returns, the witch lowers Rapunzel's hair below and he climbs up, only to be repulsed by the witch. In horror, he throws himself from the tower into a thorn bush, which blinds him.
Wandering through the woods one day, the prince hears Rapunzel's singing and the two lovers meet once again. Rapunzel's tears of joy return the prince's lost sight, and the two return to his home and live happily ever after
Summary
A pregnant woman sends her husband to a witch's garden to pick up some rapunzel since she's craving it, and tells him she'll die without it. The witch catches the husband stealing from her garden, and tells him he can take some (since he loves his wife so much,) but she gets the baby when it's born. The husband agrees, brings it back to his wife.
The baby is born, the witch takes the girl, raises her and has her hair grow very long. When the girl is old enough, the witch locks her in a tower with no exit, and only a window. The only way to get in is by having the girl, Rapunzel, throw down her hair so that the witch can climb it.
One day, a prince comes by and sees the witch climbing the hair into the tower, and after the witch leaves, he calls out, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair." She lowers her hair, he climbs up, they have an epic love story -- until the witch finds out; however, this is after the prince got the girl pregnant.
The witch cuts off the girl's hair, and sends her into the wild and then ties the hair up, waits for the prince, and when he's climbing up (thinking it's his lover), she drops the hair -- and the prince. The prince is blinded in the fall, and roams the land in search of Rapunzel.
Eventually, he finds her, and she cries into his eyes. The tears cure him of his blindness. They have twins, and return to his kingdom to live happily ever after.
