The witch looks awful, through.
Excerpt
Years passed, and Rapunzel never set eyes on another living person. Then, one day, a young prince riding through the forest heard Rapunzel’s sweet singing.
“I have never heard such a lovely voice,” he said to himself. “I shall not rest until I find out who it belongs to.”
So the Prince hid nearby and saw the witch climb the tower.
That evening, after the witch had gone, the Prince called out,
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair.”
