00:00once upon a time in a peaceful village surrounded by tall green hills there lived a kind couple who dreamed of having a child one day their wish came true a baby girl with golden hair as bright as the morning sun was born
00:14they named her rapunzel but sadly a jealous sorceress named mother gothel took the baby away and locked her in a tall tower hidden deep in the forest the tower had no stairs no door
00:27only one tiny window at the very top as rapunzel grew so did her golden hair long silky and magical she would sing to the birds and brush her hair every day dreaming of the world outside rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair mother gothel would call and rapunzel would lower her glowing locks so the sorceress could climb up
00:50even though she was stuck in the tower rapunzel stayed cheerful she painted pictures on the walls played with the birds and told stories to the squirrels one sunny afternoon a kind and curious prince named theo rode through the forest and heard singing sweet and soft like the wind who's there he called
01:10but there was only silence until he saw the tower he hid behind a tree and watched as the old woman shouted rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair
01:21to his amazement golden hair came tumbling down the wall and up the woman climbed that night prince theo returned and tried the same rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair to his surprise the hair fell down again and up he went rapunzel was shocked at first but prince theo smiled kindly
01:39don't be afraid i heard your singing it was beautiful they talked and laughed for hours and from that day on theo visited rapunzel whenever mother gothel was away
01:50he brought her books flowers and stories from the outside world one day rapunzel whispered theo will you take me away from here i want to see the stars for real not just in my paintings he nodded we'll find a way
02:04but mother gothel found out and became furious she cut rapunzel's hair and sent her away to a far desert all alone and poor prince theo when he returned gothel tricked him and he fell from the tower landing in the thorns below
02:20he wasn't hurt badly but he could no longer see for many days theo wondered calling rapunzel's name
02:28far away rapunzel waited heart full of hope then one morning she heard a voice rapunzel she ran to it theo tears of joy fell from her eyes as she held him
02:38and when her magical tears touched his face prince theo's sight returned they hugged and laughed then returned to the kingdom
02:46rapunzel rapunzel was free at last theo and rapunzel later built a beautiful garden with towers of flowers not to hide but to welcome everyone in moral of the story true friendship courage and love can overcome even the tallest tower
