A lonely couple that wanted a child lived next to a walled garden which belonged to an enchantress named Dame Gothel. The man’s wife noticed a plant as a result of his wife’s pregnancy and it belonged to Gothel(the garden). He begged for mercy and so the old woman agreed to be lenient on condition that the unborn child would be surrendered to her at birth. When the baby was born the young girl was brought up by Gothel as her own. Whenever someone comes to see Rapunzel from the tower they say Rapunzel,Rapunzel let down your hair and her long beautiful golden hair would fall down from the tower so that the person would climb up on her hair. One day a handsome prince rode through the forest and heard Rapunzel singing from her tower. Enchanted by her singing voice he went to look for the girl and found the tower but he couldn’t find a way to see her. When he finally climbed up when Dame Gothel was gone he asked her to marry him and she accepted.
