Rapunzel
There
once
lived
a
man
and
his
wife
,
who
had
long
wished
for
a
child
,
but
in
vain
.
Now
there
was
at
the
back
of
their
house
a
little
window
which
overlooked
a
beautiful
garden
full
of
the
finest
vegetables
and
flowers
;
but
there
was
a
high
wall
all
round
it
,
and
no
one
ventured
into
it
,
for
it
belonged
to
a
witch
of
great
might
,
and
of
whom
all
the
world
was
afraid
.
One
day
that
the
wife
was
standing
at
the
window
,
and
looking
into
the
garden
,
she
saw
a
bed
filled
with
the
finest
rampion
;
and
it
looked
so
fresh
and
green
that
she
began
to
wish
for
some
;
and
at
length
she
longed
for
it
greatly
.
This
went
on
for
days
,
and
as
she
knew
she
could
not
get
the
rampion
,
she
pined
away
,
and
grew
pale
and
miserable
.
Then
the
man
was
uneasy
,
and
asked
,
"
What
is
the
matter
,
dear
wife
?
"
"
Oh
,
"
answered
she
,
"
I
shall
die
unless
I
can
have
some
of
that
rampion
to
eat
that
grows
in
the
garden
at
the
back
of
our
house
.
"
The
man
,
who
loved
her
very
much
,
thought
to
himself
,
"
Rather
than
lose
my
wife
I
will
get
some
rampion
,
cost
what
it
will
.
"
So
in
the
twilight
he
climbed
over
the
wall
into
the
witch
's
garden
,
plucked
hastily
a
handful
of
rampion
and
brought
it
to
his
wife
.
She
made
a
salad
of
it
at
once
,
and
ate
of
it
to
her
heart
's
content
.
But
she
liked
it
so
much
,
and
it
tasted
so
good
,
that
the
next
day
she
longed
for
it
thrice
as
much
as
she
had
done
before
;
if
she
was
to
have
any
rest
the
man
must
climb
over
the
wall
once
more
.
So
he
went
in
the
twilight
again
;
and
as
he
was
climbing
back
,
he
saw
,
all
at
once
,
the
witch
standing
before
him
,
and
was
terribly
frightened
,
as
she
cried
,
with
angry
eyes
,
"
How
dare
you
climb
over
into
my
garden
like
a
thief
,
and
steal
my
rampion
!
It
shall
be
the
worse
for
you
!
"
"
Oh
,
"
answered
he
,
"
be
merciful
rather
than
just
,
I
have
only
done
it
through
necessity
;
for
my
wife
saw
your
rampion
out
of
the
window
,
and
became
possessed
with
so
great
a
longing
that
she
would
have
died
if
she
could
not
have
had
some
to
eat
.
"
Then
the
witch
said
,
"
If
it
is
all
as
you
say
you
may
have
as
much
rampion
as
you
like
,
on
one
condition
-
the
child
that
will
come
into
the
world
must
be
given
to
me
.
It
shall
go
well
with
the
child
,
and
I
will
care
for
it
like
a
mother
.
"
In
his
distress
of
mind
the
man
promised
everything
;
and
when
the
time
came
when
the
child
was
born
the
witch
appeared
,
and
,
giving
the
child
the
name
of
Rapunzel
(
which
is
the
same
as
rampion
)
,
she
took
it
away
with
her
.
Rapunzel
was
the
most
beautiful
child
in
the
world
.
When
she
was
twelve
years
old
the
witch
shut
her
up
in
a
tower
in
the
midst
of
a
wood
,
and
it
had
neither
steps
nor
door
,
only
a
small
window
above
.
When
the
witch
wished
to
be
let
in
,
she
would
stand
below
and
would
cry
,
"
Rapunzel
,
Rapunzel
!
Let
down
your
hair
!
"
Rapunzel
had
beautiful
long
hair
that
shone
like
gold
.
When
she
heard
the
voice
of
the
witch
she
would
undo
the
fastening
of
the
upper
window
,
unbind
the
plaits
of
her
hair
,
and
let
it
down
twenty
ells
below
,
and
the
witch
would
climb
up
by
it
.
After
they
had
lived
thus
a
few
years
it
happened
that
as
the
King
's
son
was
riding
through
the
wood
,
he
came
to
the
tower
;
and
as
he
drew
near
he
heard
a
voice
singing
so
sweetly
that
he
stood
still
and
listened
.
It
was
Rapunzel
in
her
loneliness
trying
to
pass
away
the
time
with
sweet
songs
.
The
King
's
son
wished
to
go
in
to
her
,
and
sought
to
find
a
door
in
the
tower
,
but
there
was
none
.
So
he
rode
home
,
but
the
song
had
entered
into
his
heart
,
and
every
day
he
went
into
the
wood
and
listened
to
it
.
Once
,
as
he
was
standing
there
under
a
tree
,
he
saw
the
witch
come
up
,
and
listened
while
she
called
out
,
