Once upon a time, there lived a couple who had no kids. They had a deep desire for a kid. Finally, the lady trusted that God was going to allow her craving. They had a little window at the back of their home from which an awesome garden could be seen, which was loaded with lovely blooms and herbs. It was, however, encompassed by a high wall, and nobody dared to go into it since the garden was owned by a witch. This enchantress was not a good woman, had extraordinary power, and was feared by all the world.
One day the lady was standing by this window and gazing down into the garden when she saw a bed which was planted with the most delightful rampion - Rapunzel, and it looked so new and green that she wished for it, and wanted to eat a few. This longing expanded each day, and as she realized that she couldn't get any of it, she very pined away and started to look pale and hopeless. Her better half was frightened, and asked, "What makes you miserable, dear spouse."
"Ah!” she answered, "On the off chance that I can't eat a portion of the rampion, which is in the garden behind our home, I will die".
The man, who adored her, though, sooner than let my wife passes on, bring her a portion of the rampion, and let it cost what it will. At nightfall, he climbed up the wall and entered the garden.  He quickly plucked a bunch of rampions and took it to his better half, which she ate voraciously. It tasted so great to her - so great, that the following day she again wished for it.
Due to force by the wife, the husband decided to enter the garden once again. At midnight, when there was complete calm and quiet in the surrounding, the husband woke up and rushed to the garden. He climbed up the wall and jumped quietly into the garden. When he had climbed down the wall, he was horrendously anxious, for he saw the enchantress standing before him.
"How could you dare to enter into my garden", she said with an irate look, "plummet into my garden and take my rampion like a thief. You will be punished over it".
The husband replied, "Take mercy upon me!  I just did it because of need. My wife other saw your rampion from the window, and felt such a desire for it, to the point that she would have died on the off chance that she had not got some to eat".
To hear it, the magician controlled her outrage and said to him, “If the case is as you say, I will allow you to take away with you as much rampion as you wish, just you will have to make one promise. You should give me the newborn which your wife will bring into the world. I will treat it with the most care and love and I will take care of it like a mother.”
The husband had to the alternative to save his wife except to agree with the enchantress. He promised and the enchantress allowed her to go. On the way when her wife just gave birth to a baby child, the enchantress appeared at once. She gave the tyke the name of Rapunzel and took it away with her. Rapunzel developed into the loveliest girl under the sun.
When she was twelve years of age, the enchantress closed her into a tower, which was constructed in a forest, and had neither stairs nor door except a little window at the top. At the point when the sorcerer needed to go in, she put herself underneath it and cried, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair to me".
Rapunzel had great long hair, fine as spun gold. On hearing the voice of the magician, she detached her plaited tresses, twisted them cycle one of the snares of the window above, and afterward the hair fell twenty ells down, and the sorcerer ascended by it.
Following a year or two, it happened that the Emperor's son rode through the forest and passed by the pinnacle. At that point, he heard a sweet song, which was charming to the point that he stopped and tuned in. This was Rapunzel, who in her isolation took a break in giving her sweet voice a chance to reverberate. The prince chased the voice and reached the tower. The melody song was echoing above the tower. Prince was surprised to see as there was no door to enter but someone above the tower was singing. He called the singer again and again but got no response. He rode home, however, the singing had so profoundly contacted his heart that he again went into the forest and turned to the tower. This time rather than shout or address someone above the tower, the prince hid behind a tree. After waiting around two days, the prince saw that a sorcerer  came there, and he heard how she cried,
"In the event that that is the ladder by which one mounts, I too will attempt my fortune". Thought the prince.
The next day when it started to grow dark, he went to the pinnacle and cried, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair". Quickly the hair tumbled down and the prince ascended. At first, Rapunzel was awfully scared. Her eyes had never yet seen a man. Yet, the Prince talked very politely and acted like a most civilized person. He told Rapunzel that on hearing her sweat song, he could not stop himself to approach her. The Prince further revealed to Rapunzel that his heart had been stirred to the point that it had given him a chance to have no rest, and he had been compelled to see her. At that point, Rapunzel lost her dread, and when he inquired as to whether she would take him for her husband.
Rapunzel seemed impressed by this great-looking prince. She thought that the prince will love her more than an old woman. She said yes and agreed to leave the tower. Rapunzel stated, “I don't know how to get down. Carry with you a skein of silk each time that you come, and I will weave a ladder with it, and when that is prepared, you will take me on your pony.”
They decided that until the ladder is not completed, the Prince would go to her each night, for the old lady dropped by day. Once it happened that the Prince lost his ring in the tower. He did not realize that he had dropped the ring. Rapunzel was also ignorant of this loss. One day when the old sorcerer came to meet Rapunzel, she saw the ring. She called a magic parrot who told her that the ring belonged to a Prince. The parrot also informed the old woman that both Rapunzel and the Prince had married to each other.
The magician burst into anger and stated, “How dare you to meet a stranger. I thought that I had isolated you from all over the world, but you have hoodwinked me”.
In her outrage she grasped Rapunzel's wonderful hair, wrapped them twice around her left hand, grabbed a couple of scissors with the right, and clip, snap, they were cut off, and the flawless twists lay on the ground. She was pitiless to the point that she threw poor Rapunzel into a desert to live in incredible sorrow and wretchedness. Around the same time that she cast out Rapunzel, the old woman secured the twists of hair, which she had trimmed off, to the snare of the window, and when the prince came and cried,
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, the woman let the hair down. The Prince rose. As opposed to discovering his dearest Rapunzel, he found the sorcerer, who looked at him with mischievous and venomous looks. She turned the Prince into a parrot and pinned two magic nails into his head.
The prince was adjacent to himself in torment, and in his sadness, he jumped down from the pinnacle. He got away with his life, however, the thistles into which he fell penetrated his eyes. At that point, he meandered very visually impaired about the forest, ate only roots and berries, and did nothing, however, regret and sob over the loss of his dear spouse. In this way, he wandered about in hopelessness for a few years and finally went to the desert where Rapunzel, with the twins to which she had conceived an offspring, a kid and a young lady, lived in wretchedness. He heard a voice, and it appeared to be so familiar to him that he went towards it, and when he drew closer, he was Rapunzel and fell into her feet weeping.
Rapunzel took the parrot and started patting the parrot's head to comfort it. As she was patting, she felt two nails. Thinking that nails are causing pain for the parrot, she plucked the magic nails. As the nails came out of the parrot, magic broke and the parrot atones turned into Prince. Rapunzel and the kids were deeply happy to find the Prince. The Prince drove Rapunzel and his children to the kingdom. The people welcomed them warmly and they lived, for quite a long time, happy and contented.
