        Once upon a time long long ago a house above a beautiful garden a childless couple resided. They prayed daily for a child to bless them. One-day God answered their prayers the couples felt very pleased and grateful. Days of great joy followed afterwards until the wife became extremely ill. She refused to eat anything even when the husband bribed her with things she continuously turned down food. He was afraid that she would shortly die. He begged on his knees and asked her to eat. There is an Herb called Rapunzel next door. If I eat that I will feel so much better she replied. But that Scary which is next door and I may not make it back alive to keep you alive he stated.

      Okay I will just waste away in this living room and write a letter to all my family and friends she stated dramatically. The husband aggressively Got up with his rifle and said I am going to that damn garden witch or not you will not die on me. As he headed out into the garden next door he looked around twice and saw no one. He found the herb and picked it cheerfully. As he got up the witch appeared with her cigarette, lifted her hand over the rifle he was carrying and tossed it across the garden. What are you doing in my garden the witch said. He got up slowly then said my wife is pregnant and will die if she does not eat this. You have two choices either put the herb back, run off as if you never stepped foot in my garden or take the herb and bring back the baby once it is born the which suggested. If you do not choose either I will curse you and your family forever.  The husband went with the second option, took the herb to save his wife life and agreed to give the child to the which once born.

     Months later the child was born and the couple were very happy. The witch appeared at the door knocking loudly yelling give me the bastard now! The husband ran to the door and handed her the child. Eighteen years later Rapunzel was stuck at the top floor of her tower barricaded by the witch slowly loosing air due to the large amount of tobacco cigarettes she smoked over the years. There was no elevator or stabled stair case. The steps where broken very badly and not in use. The witch delivered food every day to Rapunzel by telling her to let her Thirty-foot long hair down the towers so that she can climb up along her braid to deliver food.

   One-day Rapunzel sung loudly with a Karaoke machine the witch got her for Christmas. Rapunzel asked her for years and finally got the evil witch to buy it for her. Prince charming and his sister named Rebecca walked along the garden and overheard Rapunzel singing “save me” in a beautiful voice while the witch was not home. As Prince charming and Rebecca walked over and yelled “you have a beautiful voice what is your name? Rapunzel! She replied loudly looking at prince charming and his sister Rebecca. Can we come up to join prince charming added? No, the witch that I live with will be returning shortly and be very angry besides the steps are destroyed. How does she get up there to you Rebecca asked? I have Thirty feet of hair that grows very quickly and she uses it as a later Rapunzel stated. As she showed them her beautiful long black hair Prince charming stated wow that is beautiful and Rebecca said she had an idea.

     Rapunzel is you let me cut off two feet of your hair every weekend when the witch is out I will make them into hair extensions and sell them to the local hair store called “Halley’s, I will split half of the profit made with you and hire someone to repair the stair case with your half. Um, I don’t know? Rapunzel added doubtfully. Come on give it a chance you’ve been their most of your life added Prince charming. Besides the which is gone on weekends so she will never know. Rapunzel agreed and every week she was thrilled on the progress of the stairs being repaired.  

 One after noon Rebecca drove up with Prince charming in a 300,000 Lamborghini vehicle yelling “come on Rapunzel the stair case is done no need to be afraid”. Rapunzel packed her backs prayed for any current or future curses to be lifted off her before exiting the tower and left a thank you letter to the evil witch for not killing, cursing or starving her to death. P.S.” Once you decide to be a good person again we can start over” the letter read. Rapunzel slipped on her red pumped stilettos given by Rebecca, threw away her grandma dresses, kissed Prince charming and drove off with her best friends and never looked back again. The End.
