Once there in a kingdom a baby of the King was stolen by a witch. Witch hid the baby in a quaint tower in the midst of the forest. King declared to give a reward of 10000 gold coins to the one who finds his lost daughter. Eighteen Years passed by, and no one succeeded in finding the princess. A Farmer who heard about the king's announcement decided to try his luck, he began to search for the lost princess, in the midst of the forest he saw gleaming golden mane descending from a wretched tower, for his surprise it was as long as a rope, he heard somebody shouting "Rapunzel let your hair down" he saw a lanky old witch grabbing that hair and clambering to the top of the tower.
