There once was a women and man who wanted to have a child that it consumed all their thoughts, the husband was a great businessman and the wife a home maker so they couldn’t figure out with all their fortune why they couldn’t have a child. The husband and wife lived next to a beautiful garden that had flowers and rosemary. One day the woman was on her way to the market and as walked she passed the garden which belonged to a mysterious enchantress. As she gazed at the lilies and smelled the roses she noticed the rampion-rapuzel, just then women felt movement in her belly. It felt like the flutter of a baby.
The women ran back home to tell her husband that she was pregnant, she called her mother and all her friends and told them the news, they decide to throw her a baby shower. At the party all her friends and family attended and brought gifts, among the guest was the mysterious enchantress who owned the garden next to the man and women’s house. The women thanked the enchantress because she felt that it was her magical rapunzel that made her pregnant. The enchantress then touched the women belly and gave her gifts, she said that the baby would be special and would have luxurious and exotic hair, bronze skin and a pleasant disposition.
Nine months later the baby was born and the women named her Rapunzel after the enchantress’ rampion-rapunzel that she thought was responsible for her becoming pregnant. The women and man couldn’t be any happier that had a beautiful daughter who had a pleasant disposition and beautiful bronze skin. There was only one thing missing, Rapunzel was born with one curl that sat in the middle of her head. So the women and man waited and waited for the enchantress’ third gift of luxurious and exotic hair.
On the morning of Rapunzel’s fifteenth birthday her parents ran in to her room to wish her happy birthday and give her gifts. They couldn’t get into her room for it was filled with coarse, wooly and freakishly long hair. They were so upset that they grabbed Rapunzel and stormed over to the enchantress’ cottage were yelled and mused, they told the enchantress that this was not what she promised them. The enchantress said yes it is, I promised you luxurious hair which it is long and thick and exotic hair which it is different, instead of silky and smooth it is coarse and wooly. The parents were so afraid that when their friends and family came over for Rapunzel’s party that they would make fun of her and leave laughing. The enchantress told the man and women that she needed to leave town but she didn’t want to her garden to be ruined. So they made a deal, they would look after the garden if the enchantress would take Rapunzel and hide her. So the enchantress took Rapunzel and placed her in a tower far, far away.
The man and the women gave up there house and moved into the enchantress cottage. They moved forward with their life and had more children two son’s and they never heard or mentioned Rapunzel again, but every so often the women would go sit by the rampion-rapunzel and sing and weep.
