00:00Once, a very long time ago, there lived a young man and a woman in a small house by themselves.
00:18They did not have any children, but they wished to have a daughter.
00:23In the house was a little window from which they could see a beautiful garden.
00:30That was full of beautiful flowers and herbs.
00:34The garden was surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to enter, as it belonged to a witch who possessed great power, and everyone was scared of her.
00:46One day, the woman was standing at the window, when she saw a beautiful, freshly grown lettuce plant.
00:53It looked so fresh and green that she wanted to eat some.
00:57She said to her husband, It is my greatest desire to eat some of this lettuce.
01:04But that belongs to a witch.
01:07Oh, please do something. I really want to eat it. I will not eat anything else but the lettuce.
01:14The man got worried and started thinking of how he could get the lettuce.
01:20This desire increased with every day, and not knowing how to get any, the wife became miserably ill.
01:29Her husband got her many things to eat, but she declined to have them.
01:34She only wanted lettuce.
01:36Her husband was frightened, and one night, the husband decided to get her the lettuce.
01:41Don't worry, my darling. I will bring you some lettuce.
01:47But it's very risky, honey.
01:53Before I let my wife die, I must get her some of the lettuce, no matter what it cost me to get it.
02:01So just as it was getting dark, he gathered all the courage and climbed over the huge wall into the witch's garden.
02:12He then hastily grabbed a handful of lettuce and took it to his wife.
02:17The wife ate it greedily and felt a little bit better, but one handful wasn't enough.
02:24It tasted so good that her desire to eat lettuce had grown three times.
02:30The next day, the man climbed the garden once again as it got darker.
02:36Huh?
02:36But this time, he saw the witch waiting for him.
02:46How can you dare to climb into my garden and like a thief steal my lettuce?
02:55You will regret this.
02:58Oh, please forgive me.
03:01My wife is pregnant, and she saw your lettuce from our window, so she was craving to eat some, and that she would die if she did not get any.
03:12Why didn't you ask for my permission?
03:15I was scared of you, as you wouldn't allow me to take some.
03:19If that's the truth, then, I will allow you to take as much as you want, but under one condition.
03:32You must give me the child that your wife will bring to the world.
03:39Out of fear, the man accepted the deal.
03:43As time passed by, the baby was born.
03:46It was a baby girl.
03:47Out of fear, they were overjoyed.
04:04Soon after, the witch came, named the little girl Rapunzel, and took her away, leaving the parents in complete sorrow.
04:17The witch locked her in a tower that stood far away in the forest, and that had neither a door nor a stairway, but merely a tiny little window at the very top.
04:31Rapunzel grew old there, thinking that the witch was her real mother.
04:35As she grew older, her golden hair grew longer and longer.
04:42The witch realized that Rapunzel's hair had magical healing powers, so she would never cut her hair.
04:48When the witch wanted to enter, she stood below and called out,
05:00Rapunzel, oh, Rapunzel, let your hair down to me.
05:06It's your mother, dear.
05:08Rapunzel had splendid long hair, as fine as spun gold.
05:14When she heard the witch's voice, she let her hair fall out of the window to the ground.
05:20The witch climbed up it with the help of her long golden hair.
05:24As Rapunzel grew older, she wanted to get out of that house and see the outside world.
05:34But the witch told her that the world outside is very mean and cruel, that people would kill her if she went out.
05:42I've brought you here so that you can be safe.
05:48As Rapunzel turned 16, she was eager to go out for her birthday.
05:52Mother?
05:54What?
05:55I've been thinking about something.
05:58What is it?
05:59I'm 16 and I think I'm old enough to leave the tower to celebrate my birthday.
06:06What? No way!
06:09I've been reading about the city and it sounds so wonderful.
06:14All of the people, all the food, the lights, and everything.
06:19No! I've told you how cruel the world outside is.
06:25You're so safe here.
06:28Please, Mother.
06:29There are so many amazing things I could do.
06:32So much to learn.
06:34So much to see.
06:36I said no, Rapunzel.
06:39I can handle myself out there.
06:42I'm big enough now.
06:43Look at you. You're clumsy.
06:45I don't want people to take advantage of you.
06:48No. I am not.
06:50You are never leaving this tower.
06:53Ever!
06:54I do this because I love you.
06:57I just wanted to go see the city at least once.
07:01I wish someone could just take me there.
07:06A year or two passed.
07:08It happened that a prince riding through the forest heard someone singing.
07:16As he approached the tower, he heard a song so beautiful that he stopped to listen.
07:23It was Rapunzel who was passing the time by singing with her sweet voice.
07:28The prince wanted to climb up to her and looked for a door in the tower, but he found nothing.
07:37He rode back home.
07:38But the song had so touched his heart that he returned to the forest every day and listened to it.
07:50One day, as he was thus standing behind a tree, he saw the witch approach and heard her say,
08:05Rapunzel, oh Rapunzel, let down your hair to me.
08:10It's your mother, dear.
08:12Then Rapunzel let down her strands of golden hair, and the sorceress climbed up them to her.
08:20Whoa!
08:21If that is the ladder to the tower, then I shall try my luck sometime.
08:27And the next day, just as it was beginning to get dark, he went to the tower and called out,
08:35Rapunzel, oh Rapunzel, let your hair down to me.
08:40It's your mother, dear.
08:44The hair fell down.
08:46Mwah!
08:48The prince climbed up.
08:52At first, Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man such as she had never seen came up.
09:01Who are you?
09:03I'm the prince.
09:05How did you come here?
09:07The prince told her that his heart had been so touched by her singing that he could have no peace until he saw the person who sang.
09:17Rapunzel lost her fear, and the prince was mesmerized by her beauty.
09:23He asked her,
09:25Will you marry me, Rapunzel?
09:27Will you be my wife?
09:29Rapunzel thought to herself,
09:32He would rather have me than the mother.
09:35He would also take me to the city and show me the outside world.
09:40She said yes and placed her hand into his hand.
09:45But I do not know how to get down.
09:48If I let my hair down, how will I come out?
09:51Okay, I will think of something and come back tomorrow and take you from here.
10:00When the prince was getting down from the tower, the witch saw her and she learned that something was going on.
10:09Rapunzel!
10:09Oh, Rapunzel!
10:12Let down your hair to me.
10:13It's your mother, dear.
10:15How dare you try to escape from here?
10:26I've fed you and grown you up.
10:29How could you think of betraying me?
10:32You will have to pay for this.
10:35In her anger, she grabbed Rapunzel's beautiful hair and grasped a pair of scissors and snip-snap, she cut it off.
10:44She was so unmerciful that she sent Rapunzel to a desert far, far away to suffer.
10:52The next evening, the witch waited for the prince to arrive.
10:56And when the prince came, he called out,
11:00Rapunzel!
11:01Oh, Rapunzel!
11:03Let down your golden hair!
11:05The wicked witch let down Rapunzel's golden hair that she had cut off.
11:10The prince climbed up, but above, instead of his beloved Rapunzel, he found the witch, who peered at him with her evil looks.
11:21Aha!
11:23You have come for your darling Rapunzel, but that beautiful bird is no longer sitting in her nest.
11:30You have lost her, and we'll never see her again.
11:36The witch then threw him from the tower.
11:38No!
11:40He fell on flames, which poked out his eyes and blinded him.
11:46Unable to see anything, he wandered about in the forest,
11:50eating grass and roots.
11:52He wandered about miserably for some years.
11:57Finally, he reached the desert,
12:00where he could hear a beautiful voice and thought it was familiar.
12:05As he approached and said,
12:08Rapunzel?
12:09Is that you?
12:11Rapunzel recognized him and crying.
12:14Two of her tears fell into his eyes,
12:22and they became clear once again,
12:24and he could see as well as before.
12:33They then went back to his kingdom,
12:36where he was received with joy.
12:38The king and queen were happy to find the lost prince back.
12:41Later, the people from the kingdom found out
12:45that she was the girl who was stolen by the witch.
12:48So Rapunzel learned who her real parents were.
12:52On the other hand,
12:57they told her the witch had now died,
13:00and that they were happy to see her grow into a beautiful lady.
13:05The couple decided to marry.
13:11The king announced their marriage
13:14with a feast for the whole kingdom.
13:16And the kingdom was lit with lights and happiness.
