Story of Rapunzel

A long time ago there lived a young couple, a man and his wife. They were expecting their baby. One day, she wanted a plant that only grew in her neighbors garden. She wanted it so much. She even intended to steal it herself, but later on, she sent her husband to steal it. Unfornunately, Mother Gothel, the owner of the plant, caught him doing it. She was a witch. Then, Mother Gothel forced the couple to give their first baby to her. A few months later, the baby was born. It was a girl and named Rapunzel. Soon, the baby was taken away to live with Mother Gothel. Rapunzel grew to be a beautiful young girl with her long golden hair. At first she was cared in a normal way. When she rached puberty, she was locked in a tower so that she would never leave Mother Gothel. The tower stood in the forest. It could only be entered by climbing on Rapunzels longhair. To cheer herself up, she loved to sing. One day, a young prince was out hunting. He stumbled upon the tower. He heard Rapunzels beautiful voice. He decided that he must meet her. He spied and, by watching Mother Gothel, learned the words he had to say to have Rapunzel drop her hair. The prince visited her often and the two fell in love. Then, Rapunzel made a plan to escape from the tower. She wanted to be with the prince. She asked the prince to bring her a skein of silk each time he visited. She might weave a ladder for her escape. Unfortunately, Mother Gothel caught on. Then, she banished Rapunzel to the desert. She threw the prince from the tower into a thorny bush. The thorns made the prince blind and he roamed the earth searching for his love. Eventually, they found each other, and the princes eyes were healed by Rapunzels tears of happiness. And they lived happily ever after.
