Once upon a time, there was a very poor couple. Both of them were very different from each other. The wife, named Julie, was a simple, kind lady, but the husband, called John, had come from a modern family and had hobbies like playing the guitar and other rock and roll instruments.


Suddenly one day while playing the guitar, the wife said, “Ouch! My stomach is paining. John, I think I am going to get a baby!” The husband immediately stopped whatever he was doing and said, “No way! I want to live in peace.” Julia said nothing and just looked out of the window.


Now, there wasn’t much to look at, out of that window; but suddenly, Julia saw these lovely, fresh, red, carrots in her neighbour’s garden. She asked John whether he could get those carrots for her. As he wasn’t doing anything in particular, he decided after lots of begging and pleading, that he would go. Just after he had reached the garden and plucked the carrots, he heard a booming voice over him say, You dreadful thief! Stealing my precious carrots! You will pay for this by purchasing me some hair growing cream!” John looked up and saw a witch with moles all over her face and who was absolutely bald. He didn’t want to waste money on this. He remembered that Julie said she was pregnant; so he said, “Oh witch! I am too poor for that, but would you like to have a baby with long, flowing hair instead? With your potions, you can take her hair and maybe place it on your head!” He was not sure how he would manage that, but would pray to god for a girl with long hair. The witch happily agreed and said that John could take as many carrots as he liked.


One fine day, John’s wish came true and he got a beautiful baby girl with long hair, but he had to lie to his wife and give the baby to the witch.The wife mourned after hearing the real story but nothing could be done.The witch named the baby Rapunzel.


Rapunzel grew up to be a beautiful and modern lady.She lived in a tall tower with only one window.The witch never got Rapunzel’s hair because whenever she tried to take her hair something would distract her and she would forget to take the long hair.The witch never even treated Rapunzel well because of that.


Then one day, a cruel prince was practising rock climbing and climbed up Rapunzel’s tower. He wanted to kidnap her to make her a slave but saw the witch and asked her if she would give this beautiful maiden to him and in exchange, he would give her anything she desired. The witch asked for hair growing cream. Though the prince did not know what it was, he gave her a cream which was in his pocket and took Rapunzel.


After a few days, the witch realized that it was actually shaving cream and threw it in the dustbin. She cast a spell to bring Rapunzel back. Rapunzel came back and told the witch all about the cruel prince. Then she said, “ But I don’t understand! Instead of wasting your potions, why didn’t you just send me a Whatsapp message and I could have seen Google Maps and come home?” “Never mind”, the witch said, “I’ll use your technique later!” And they lived happily ever after!
