Rapunzel is a famous story written by The Brothers Grimm. A disobedient girl, Rapunzel is a main character, and others are wicked witch and brave Prince Hans.
One married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Rose lived in a small house on a beautiful garden. But the garden belonged to a wicked witch, so nobody can enter it. One day, pregnant Mrs. Rose wanted green vegetable in witch's garden. Mr. Rose went down into the garden with terrible fear, and pulled up a rapunzel. At that time, he was discovered by the witch! The witch said that she would eat him. Mr. Rose requested leave that for his life. Then, the witch suggested to give her a baby in exchange for quiting to eat him. At last, he accepted her demand.
As soon as Mrs. Rose gave birth to a girl, the witch appeared to take the baby. And the witch named the girl Rapunzel. Mr. and Mrs. Rose lost their precious child.
And then, Rapunzel became more beautiful as her grows older, and also she had long long golden hair and blue eyes. For fear that someone would snatch Rapunzel, the witch shut in a tower with no door in the weird, deep forest. Rapunzel had to be at the top of the tower. And the witch climbed the tower with hung Rapunzel's long hair from her room.
Rapunzel spend boring days, because she saw nothing special, had nothing to do. One day, one prince named Hans happened to pass by the tower. He noticed Rapunzel, and she asked him to the tower to seek help from a restraint from the witch. Then, they thought out a means to escape from the tower. It was that Prince Hans bring a ball of silk, and Rapunzel make a ladder from them.
Their plan was going along smoothly. The ladder became longer, almost completion. But one day, Rapunzel made a slip of the tongue by vocal about Prince Hans. The witch became enraged and transferred Rapunzel to the middle of the desert to never see him! At night, Prince Hans not knowing that, climbed the tower as usual. But the top of the tower was unusual. There was no beautiful girl, but there was a wrinkled old woman. The witch sneered, and pushed him off from the top of the tower. Fortunately, he was saved from death, but he lost his sight.
Prince Hans didn't give up. He was searching Rapunzel everywhere for months. Finally, he got intelligence about a beautiful girl with long golden hair and blue eyes from a camel seller. He hurried to the desert by a carriage. And then, they pledged to meet again! Rapunzel threw her arms around his neck and began to cry filled with joy. Just then, her tears fell onto his eyelids. And surprisingly, his eyes began to operate normally!
After that, they got married and lived in Prince Hans' castle with their children named Pumpkin, Lettuce and Sprout!
