Rapunzel

There once lived a man and his wife who had long wished for a child in vain. At length the woman hoped that God was about to grant her desire. Through a small window in their house they could see a splendid garden full of beautiful flowers and herbs, but it was surrounded by a high wall and belonged to a powerful enchantress.

One day the wife saw a bed of fine rapunzel lettuce and longed for it so desperately that she grew pale and miserable. Her husband, fearing for her life, climbed into the enchantress's garden at dusk and gathered a handful of the lettuce. But when he returned a second time, the enchantress caught him. In exchange for the lettuce, she demanded the child his wife would bear. When the girl was born, the enchantress took her and named her Rapunzel.
