Rapunzel (1)

Rapunzel (1)

Once upon a time there lived a couple who were going to have child.

They had a little window at the back of their house that looked out onto a lovely garden.
The garden was surrounded by a high wall and no one dared enter it, for it belonged to a powerful Witch.

One day, a wife stood at the window and saw a garden bed full of the finest lettuce.
When she realised she couldn't have any, she pined away and became pale and weak.
" Oh, " she moaned, " if I can't have some lettuce to eat from the garden, I shall die. "

The man, who loved her dearly, thought, " I should fetch her some lettuce, no matter what the cost. "

At sunset, the husband climbed over the wall into the Witch's garden.
He quickly gathered a handful of lettuce leaves and returned with them to his wife.
They tasted so good that her longing for the forbidden food grew stronger than ever.
If she were to have any peace of mind, her husband would have to fetch her some more.
