“’Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair.’ …. The prince climbed up, but instead of his dearest Rapunzel, the witch was waiting for him with angry, poisonous looks. ‘Aha!’ she cried. “You’ve come to take your darling wife away, but the bird is gone from the nest… the cat has taken her away and before she’s done, she’ll scratch your eyes out too.” Then you won’t be able to see Rapunzel’s beauty if you ever do find her, and honestly, beauty is all the girl has. (Quote from Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s Rapunzel, edited by Sisters Grimm)
