But, you have to give me your first child," they were so scared, they were immediately agreed. (sources)

Once later, a beautiful baby girl was born to the farmer and his wife. Immediately, the old witch came and snatched the girl away from them. He named her Rapunzel and kept her lock in a high tower. He grew up to be a beautiful girl. But most beautiful of all was her log, golden hair.
He only person she ever saw was the old witch. Every day, the witch used to come to the foot of the tower and call, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!, she then used to let her long plait fall out the window, and the witch used to hold onto it and climb up.
One day, a prince who was passing by, hid behind the trees and watch the witch. As soon as she left, he too decided to try, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!, he tried and climbed up into her room. She was stunned to see the prince. She had never before seen anybody so handsome. The prince too fell in love with her. They began to secretly met everyday after the witch left.
One day however, the witch realized what has been going on. She screamed and shouted in anger. She cut off her hair and send her off deep into the forest. That day, when the prince came, he found the witch waiting for him at the top of the tower. She cursed and screamed some more, before casting a spell on him,that make the prince lost his sight.
