NARRATOR: Once upon a time there were a man and a woman who in vain wished for a child. They had a little window at the back of their house from which a splendid garden could be seen. This garden was full of the most beautiful flowers and herbs. This garden was surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to go into it because it belonged to a wicked witch named Dame Gothel. One day the woman saw a plant called rampion, used to make salads.
