Rapunzel

A Story by Brother Grimm


Once upon a time, a young, married couple waited for their child to be born. They lived in a beautiful house near a garden. The woman often watched the garden through the window in a desire to taste the Rampion (Rapunzel plant). Sometimes she would asked her husband to go and get her some of the rampions.
The owner of the garden was an evil Witch, he didn’t dare to ask her for some, so he decided to steal the rampions instead. But as soon as he stepped into the garden, he heard a noise. The Witch yelled at him and asked him how he dares to steal from her garden. He fell down on his knees and asked her to spare him because he just wanted some rampions for his wife.
The Witch was so evil that she told him he will get the rampion only if he gives her his firstborn child or she will turn him into a pig. The husband felt he didn’t have a choice, so he agreed.
The woman gave birth to a little girl, and the Witch took her away. She named her Rapunzel. The days passed by and Rapunzel became a long, blond haired beauty. 
Image result for rapunzel summary grimmNobody really knows what happen to her. The Witch locked her away in a tower for years. There was only a small window on the top of the tower, and the beautiful girl would appear on it now and then. The Witch would call her every day to let down her hair, and she would climb to her.
Rapunzel only knew about the Witch. She never saw anybody else. One day, a prince that passed through the woods heard her sing. He hid in the bushes nearby and enjoyed her singing until the Witch                      called her to let down her hair.
The prince thought he could do the same thing, so he called Rapunzel to let her hair down. He climbed to her room, and when Rapunzel saw him, she got scared. Until then she only knew the Witch, and now she saw a beautiful prince. He explained to her she shouldn’t be frightened, and they fell in love.
They saw each other secretly because they didn’t want the Witch to know about them. One morning Rapunzel accidentally told her that she is much heavier than the prince and that it’s harder to pull her up.
The Witch was furious, and she started yelling at Rapunzel. She told her that she was an ungrateful brat. The Witch grabbed her by the hair and cut it off. The long hair was lying on the floor, and Rapunzel was sentenced to a lifetime of loneliness and misery in the tower. The Witch didn’t only get her revenge with Rapunzel. She also decided to attack the prince.

He searched for his Rapunzel from city to city, village to village but she was nowhere to be found. He fed on berries and drank the water from the rivers. His misery was growing by the day as he pictured his beautiful Rapunzel and her voice.
He gathered the last atoms of his strength and moved towards that beautiful voice. He held on for trees, stumbled and got stuck in the bushes while he was calling for his Rapunzel.
He managed to come to her and as soon as she spotted him she ran to his arms. It was true love. Rapunzel started crying, and her tears healed his eyes. They forgot about the witch and every bad things that happened to them. They went to the prince's castle where they got married and lived happily ever after.

  How to Make a Single Crochet Hello everyone, my name is Prameswara and i am from class eleven science 3. For my english assignment, I'm gonna show you basic steps on making a single crochet. To make a single crochet, you're gonna need: 1. A yarn 2. A hook. I used a 3.5 milimeters hook. But you can use any hook you want. It depends on the size of the yarn. 3. A needle. 4. And a scissor. Ok so, without further ado, lets get started. 1. So first, we're gonna make a slip knot. Bring your yarn around your index finger and make a loop. 2. Now bring the yarn over the hook and hold it. 3. Draw the yarn with the hook through the slip knot. This makes one stitch. Now lets repeat step 2 and 3 in sequence 10 more times. 4. Now we have 11 chain stitches and one loop on the hook 5.

                                            Malioboro      Hey, I'm going to tell you things that i know about Malioboro. Malioboro is one of my favorite destination in Indonesia. Malioboro is a shopping street located between Jogja Kraton and Mount Merapi. People used to buy things like necklace, bracelet, tote bag, and batik, as a souvenir or a memento in Malioboro. I think the reason people buy many things in Malioboro is because the souvenirs in there are beautiful (and quite cheap). If you go there, you will find lots of merchants that sell bracelets and necklaces on the side of the street, some stalls that sell shirts and tote bags, and stores that sell batik along the way.        Other than stalls and stores, there are some buildings around Malioboro that will amaze you.
