~Chapter One~

Once upon a time there was husband and wife who lived deep into the wood. They had a young girl named Rapunzel who was extremely ill. It was very hard for Rapunzel's parents to take care of her since they did not live close to any civilization. The only person they knew who lived near was a wicked old witch. The witch was very cruel and unkind. In order to cure Rapunzel's illness, her parents knew they would have to go to the witch's house and ask for medicine. 

           Rapunzel's parents walked across the forest and over to the witch's house. Hoping the witch would be kind enough, they explained their situation and asked the witch, "Would you please help our daughter, she is very ill and needs help. Would you please give us some medicine?" The witch angrily replied, "NO!" and slammed the door.

          Rapunzel's parents had to walk all the way back home with no medicine. When Rapunzel found out how mean the witch was to her caring parents, she walked there herself to show the witch how sick she really was. Since the witch would not give her parents the medicine, Rapunzel snuck into the witch's garden and had begun to steal special herbs. The witch caught Rapunzel in her garden and kidnapped her instantly. Rapunzel was too weak to fight back and could not get away from the witch. The witch then brought Rapunzel into her home and locked her up in a high tower to punish her for stealing from her garden.
