The husband had no choice. He promised his wife that he would bring a lettuce from the next house. Little did he know that the owner of the lettuce garden was a wicked witch.
    The husband tried to steal the lettuce. Alas, he was caught by the witch. The witch demanded a punishment for the husband's deed. The husband could bring the lettuce as long as he agreed to give the baby girl to her. The husband agreed.
    The time had come. The baby girl was gone. She was instantly taken by the witch. She treated the girl well. When she was 16, the witch placed her in a high tower in the middle of a forest. The witch never cut Rapunzel's hair, so the witch can go to the tower by climbing Rapunzel's hair.
    One day, a prince was lost in the forest. He heard a beautiful song. He wondered where the song came from. The song came from a high tower. The prince looked for a way to meet the owner of that beautiful voice. Suddenly, the witch came and said "Rapunzel, bring down your hair". A long hair came down and the witch climbed to that hair. The prince had an idea. In the next day, the prince mimicked the witch's voice and asked Rapunzel to bring down her hair. Then, he climbed to the tower. The two met and fell in love.
    The witch knew about what Rapunzel and prince did. She cut Rapunzel's hair and banished her to the desert. Then, the witch trapped the prince and assaulted him. The prince fell and ran. He ran to the desert. His eyes hurt so he was blind. He shouted "Rapunzel, Rapunzel". Fortunately, Rapunzel heard this and they hugged as the prince laid down on Rapunzel's lap.
