Rapunzel 长发公主

Rapunzel 长发公主 Once upon a time, there lived an old couple in a village. The old couple had always wanted a child but couldn’t make it. So they had to pray every day to have a baby. One day, an old witch moved into the house next door. The old witch was not friendly and the old couple didn’t dare to speak to her. The witch grew a lot of magic lettuce that looked very tasty and delicious. 　　The old wife wanted to eat the lettuce so much that she became very sick since she couldn’t have it. “I think I’ll die if I don’t have the lettuce.” Without knowing what else to do, the husband stole some of the witch's lettuce. 　　However, this was found by the witch soon afterwards. She said angrily, "You dare steal my lettuce! You deserve to be punished!" The husband said, "I am terribly sorry, but my wife wants to have the lettuce very much. I think she will die if she can’t have it." The witch said, "Is that so? Then you can take as much as you want. But there is one condition." "What is it?" "If a baby is born, you have to give the baby to me ." Soon after that, his wife did get pregnant and gave birth to a pretty girl. The witch quickly took the baby and disappeared into the forest. 　　The witch gave the name Rapunzel to the girl. The day went on, the girl grew up and became a beautiful lady who had long golden hair. Yet the witch was afraid of losing Rapunzel, so she locked her up in a tower. 　　"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair." When Rapunzel dropped down her long hair, the witch would climb up with the help of it. The witch prevented Rapunzel from meeting other people. One day, a Prince happened to pass by the tower. He lost his heart to the beautiful singing voice of Rapunzel. “Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly, lavender’s green. When you are King, dilly, dilly, I shall be Queen...” "How beautiful is the voice! But how can I climb up to the tower?" The Prince decided to wait under the tower until he saw an opportunity. 　　The next day, the Prince saw that the witch climbed up to the tower on the lovely golden hair of Rapunzel. After the witch left the tower, the Prince imitated the witch. Then the long hair was dropped from the inside of the tower. Upon seeing Rapunzel, the Prince fell instantly in love with her. He said, "You are the most beautiful lady in the world." Rapunzel also lost her heart to the handsome prince. Since then, the two lovers met each other secretly, hiding from the witch. However one day, the witch found out their secret meetings. She was so angry that she cut off the hair of Rapunzel, and cruelly sent her to a desert. When the Prince came again, the witch dropped down the cut hair to him. While the Prince was climbing up the tower, the witch let loose the hair. The poor prince fell heavily on the ground and became blind. Yet the Prince gained strength by wandering around the land in order to find Rapunzel, and finally met her in the heart of the desert. Rapunzel recognized the Prince at once. Upon realizing that the Prince had become blind, Rapunzel's eyes were filled with tears, which dropped down into the eyes of the Prince. Just at that moment, the Prince gained his eyesight again with the power of love. Then the two lovers returned to the royal palace and lived happily ever after. 从前，有对老夫妇住在一座村庄里。他们一直想生一个孩子却不能如愿，所以只好每天祈祷，希望上帝赐予他们一个孩子。有一天，他们隔壁搬来一位老巫婆。这个巫婆并不友善，老汉夫妇都不敢跟她说话。巫婆用魔法种了许多莴苣，看起来非常可口。 老汉的妻子渴望尝一尝这些莴苣却不能如愿，身体竟然变得虚弱起来。老汉没有别的办法，只好去隔壁偷了些莴苣回来。 然而，这被巫婆发现了。她非常生气地对老汉说：“你竟敢偷我的莴苣！你得接受惩罚！”老汉愧疚回答道：“非常抱歉， 可是我的妻子很想尝尝你的莴苣。我担心她吃不到莴苣会就此病亡！”女巫听了反问道：“哦？是吗？那你们尽情地吃吧。不过我有个条件：如果你们有了孩子，必须把孩子给我。”不久后，老汉的妻子果然生了个可爱的女儿。女巫抢走了女婴，躲到了丛林里。 她给小女孩取名为长发公主。转眼间，长发公主已亭亭玉立， 有着长长的金发。女巫很害怕失去她，于是把她锁在一座高塔上。 “长发公主，长发公主，把你的金发放下来吧！”当长发公主放下长发，女巫便顺着长发爬上高塔。她不允许长发公主跟别的人见面。 有一天，一位王子碰巧路过这座高塔。高塔上传来长发公主优美的歌声。王子被深深地打动了。“这声音真甜美啊！我该样才能爬到高塔上见她一面呢？”王子决定在塔底下等待时机。 第二天，王子看见了女巫顺着金碧辉煌的头发爬上了高塔。于是等女巫走后，他模仿女巫的声音喊道：“长发公主，长发公主，请把你的金发放下来吧！”长发公主的头发于是从高塔上放了下来。 王子见到长发公主的那一刻就爱上了她。他感慨道：“你是这个世界上最美丽的姑娘！”长发公主也爱上了英俊的王子。为了不让女巫发现，这对恋人只能偷偷地见面。 可是有一天，女巫还是发现了他们的秘密约会。她非常生气地把公主的长发头发剪了并狠心地把长发公主送到了沙漠里。不知情的王子再次来找长发公主时，女巫把剪断的长发放了下来。王子重重地摔到了地面，眼睛也因此失明了。 为了找到长发公主，王子不懈努力，变得坚强起来。终于，他在沙漠里找到了公主。长发公主一眼就认出了王子。看见王子的眼睛瞎了，长发公主伤心地流下了眼泪。她的眼泪正好滴在了王子的眼睛里。 就在那一刻，王子的眼睛重见光明了！ 原来爱的力量这么伟大啊！于是，王子和长发公主一起回到了王宫，从此过着幸福的快乐的生活。
