Years pass. One day a prince rides through the forest and hears Rapunzel singing beautifully. He watches the sorceress climb the hair, then tries it himself the next evening. Rapunzel is startled at first but quickly falls in love with the kind young man. He visits her secretly, and they decide to marry and escape together.In the original Grimm tale, their secret meetings lead to Rapunzel becoming pregnant (she gives birth to twins while in exile). One day she innocently mentions to the sorceress that her clothes are getting tight; the sorceress realizes what’s happened, flies into a rage, cuts off Rapunzel’s long hair, and banishes her to a remote desert wilderness.When the prince climbs the tower that night, the sorceress is waiting with the severed braid. He tumbles from the tower in horror and lands in a patch of thorns that blind him. Heartbroken and sightless, he wanders the world.Eventually he hears Rapunzel’s voice again. She has given birth to their twins in the wilderness. When she sees her lost love, her joyful tears fall on his eyes and miraculously restore his sight. The family returns to the prince’s kingdom and lives happily ever after.
