Rapunzel

Introduction

• Once upon a time, a girl named Rapunzel lived in a tall tower in a forest.
• The tower had no means of getting up or down (no ladder, stairs, or elevator).

The Origin of Rapunzel's Tower

• Witch's Jealousy:
  • Witches despise people stealing herbs from their gardens.
  • Rapunzel's mother stole parsley while pregnant.
  • The witch gave her mother two options:
    1. Curse the unborn baby.
    2. Send the girl to live with the witch on her 10th birthday.
• Rapunzel's mother chose the second option.
• On her 10th birthday, the witch took Rapunzel to the tower.

Life in the Tower

• Rapunzel's daily life:
  • Cleaned her room.
  • Braided her long hair.
  • Waited for the witch's daily visits.
• The witch would call: "Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair!"
• The witch taught Rapunzel to make medicines with herbs.

Encounter with Justin

• One night, Rapunzel heard someone else calling her name.
• A man named Justin climbed her hair, claiming he wanted to save her.
• Rapunzel was not impressed and told him she didn't need saving.
• Justin expressed his desire to be a hero.
• Rapunzel sent him away but agreed to let him return.

Conflict with the Witch

• The next day, the witch found Justin's rope in Rapunzel's room.
• The witch was heartbroken and threw magic powder at Rapunzel, putting her to sleep.
• Rapunzel woke up outside in the forest with her hair cut.
• Justin returned to the tower, but the witch blinded him after capturing him.

Searching for Each Other

• Rapunzel searched for her tower but found only a burned circle.
• She heard Justin's voice and found him blind.
• Rapunzel made medicine from herbs to restore Justin's sight.

Overcoming Hardships

• They spent three days in the forest:
  • Rapunzel cared for Justin.
  • Justin shared tales of his failed hero attempts.
• On the fourth day, Justin regained his sight and thanked Rapunzel.

New Beginnings

• Justin and Rapunzel traveled to his village.
• Justin helped build a new tower with stairs.
• Rapunzel provided medicine for the sick in the village.

Conclusion

• Justin became a hero by helping Rapunzel through tough times.
• In the end, they both lived happily ever after.
