Rapunzel (3)

Rapunzel (3)

One day, a few years later, a Prince was riding through the wood.

As he approached the tower, he heard someone singing so beautifully that he stopped and listened, entranced.
It was Rapunzel, who, in her loneliness, passed the time by singing songs.
Her lovely voice ringing out into the forest.

The Prince longed to see who was singing, but there was no door in the tower.
He was so captivated that he returned to the wood every day.

One day, he was listening from behind a tree when he saw the old Witch. He heard her call out :
" Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair. "

Rapunzel let down her hair and the Witch climbed up.



" If that's the way into the tower, I'll try my luck, " thought the Prince.

The next day at sunset, the Prince went to the foot of the tower and cried out :
" Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair. "

As soon as Rapunzel let it down, the Prince climbed up.

At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened by this young man she had never met before.
However, the Prince spoke to her kindly and gently.
He told her that his heart had been so touched by her singing that he could not rest until he had met her.
Very soon Rapunzel forgot her fear.

The Prince visited her often.
