　　小学英语阅读：Rapunzel

　　Once upon a time， there lived an old couple in a village. The old couple prayed every day that they might have a baby. One day， an old woman moved into the house next door. The Old woman raised lettuce that looked very tasty and delicious.

　　The old wife wanted to eat the lettuce from next door， and she constantly pestered her husband to let her eat that mouth-watering lettuce. “Dear， I want to have that lettuce.” Without knowing what else to do， the husband crept next door and stole the old woman‘s lettuce.

　　However， the woman next door was a witch， and she noticed that the husband of her neighbor had stolen the lettuce. The witch said， “You dare to steal another’s lettuce. You deserve to be punished.” The husband said， “I am sorry， but my wife wants to have the lettuce very much.”

　　The witch said， “Is that so？ Then you can take as much as you want. But there is a condition.” The husband asked， “What is it？” The witch said， “If a baby is born， you have to give me the child.” After a while， his wife got pregnant and gave birth to a pretty girl. The witch swiftly crept off with the baby girl and disappeared into the forest.

　　She gave the name Rapunzel to the girl， and this child grew up fast to become a beautiful lady. Yet the witch was afraid of losing Rapunzel， so she locked her up in a tower.

　　“Rapunzel， Rapunzel， please let down your golden hair.” When Rapunzel dropped down her long hair， the witch would climb up in order to prevent Rapunzel from meeting other people.

　　One day， a Prince happened to pass by the tower. The Prince lost his heart to the beautiful singing voice of Rapunzel. “How can I climb up to the tower？” The Prince decided to wait under the tower until he saw an opportunity.
