In the story of Rapunzel, Rapunzel is given to a wicked Enchantress after her father steals from the Enchantress' garden. At the age of 14, a Prince hears Rapunzel's beautiful singing. He also sees that the Enchantress climbs up the tower using Rapunzel's hair as a ladder. At night, he does the same thing and calls out to Rapunzel. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair to me." Rapunzel (Obviously thinking that it was the Enchantress because a young prince and an old woman apparently sound exactly the same) lets down her hair and is surprised when she sees a young man. He thinks she is so beautiful that he proposes to her and she says yes. But, she wouldn't be able to get down the tower. So, she suggests that every time he sees her, he brings a piece of silk and then eventually she can sew a ladder and they can both escape and get married.
One day, Rapunzel is talking to the Enchantress and says "How come you are so much more heavy than the young prince?"
Rapunzel only had ONE thing to remember! The only thing that Rapunzel had to do was not talk about the Prince to the Enchantress. Yet, being the dumb blond she is, she told the Enchantress.
The Enchantress was so angry that she cut off Rapunzel's hair and Rapunzel was banished to the forest. Then, that night, the Prince visits to see Rapunzel again. He says "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair to me." and the Queen, who is in the tower, lets down Rapunzel's hair that she previously cut off.
When he reached the top of the tower, the Queen explained to the Prince that Rapunzel is gone and he will never see her again. The Prince is so sad that he throws himself out of the tower. He somehow survives but the thorns at the bottom of the tower pierce his eyes and he becomes blind. He roams around the forest for a few years until he hears a beautiful voice singing.
And, guess what? It's Rapunzel! What a plot twist!
So, she recognises him and she's so overwelmed that she cries. Oh, and by this time she's had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. I wonder how that happened. Anyway, her tears somehow fall into the Prince's eyes and suddenly he can see again! What a miracle!
He takes her to his kingdom and get married.
And they lived happily ever after. The end.
