Rapunzel
The Story
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a beautiful girl named Rapunzel. She had long, magical, golden hair that glowed when she sang. When Rapunzel was a baby, an evil witch took her from her parents and locked her away in a tall tower deep in the forest.
As Rapunzel grew up, her hair grew longer and longer. The witch would visit Rapunzel every day, calling out, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!" Rapunzel would wrap her long hair around a hook at the top of the tower and let it down for the witch to climb up.
One day, a handsome prince was riding through the forest when he heard Rapunzel singing. He followed her voice and found the tower. The prince called out to Rapunzel, just like the witch did, and Rapunzel let down her hair for him to climb.
The prince and Rapunzel fell in love and made a plan to escape. However, the witch found out and cut off Rapunzel's hair in anger. She banished Rapunzel to a lonely desert. The prince, who had been visiting Rapunzel, was heartbroken when he found the tower empty. He jumped from the tower, landing in thorny bushes that scratched his eyes and blinded him.
The prince wandered the desert for months, searching for his love. One day, he heard Rapunzel singing and followed her voice. When they reunited, Rapunzel's tears of joy fell on the prince's eyes, healing them. They returned to the prince's kingdom, where they got married and lived happily ever after.
And that's the story of Rapunzel, where true love overcomes all obstacles and finds a way to bring two hearts together!
