- Husband stole her some to satisfy those cravings, deciding to pay whatever cost.

- The child was named Rapunzel, after the food that had been stolen from the enchantress.
- She was shut into a tower when she was twelve, one she couldn't escape. Only the enchantress could enter by climbing the girls long hair.
- After years passed, the King's son heard her singing and became curious.
- After witnessing the enchantress climb Rapunzel's hair, he decided he too would climb her hair.
- Rapunzel was frightened by him, but he was a charmer. He proposed to her almost instantly, to which she said yes.
- She doesn't know how to escape the tower and convinces him to bring her some silk so she can make a ladder (rope?).
- The enchantress was angry when she found out that Rapunzel had pulled the prince up into her tower. In that anger, she cut Rapunzel's hair and relocated her to a desert.
- Enchantress used Rapunzel's cut off hair to pull the prince into the tower, who she then blinded with birds.
- Because of his blindness, he began to roman around for years.
- The prince eventually found Rapunzel. She cried tears that healed his eyes and they lived happily ever after.
