A poor couple got themselves into big trouble when they stole fruit from their neighbour’s garden  The neighbour, who was a witch, found out about the theft and demanded that they give her their child when she was born, to which the couple accepted.

Sepasang suami isteri miskin menghadapi masalah besar apabila mereka mencuri buah dari kebun jiran mereka  Jiran itu, yang merupakan seorang ahli sihir, mengetahui tentang kecurian itu dan meminta mereka memberikan anak mereka apabila dia dilahirkan, dan pasangan itu menerimanya.

The young girl, named Rapunzel by the witch, grew up to be very beautiful, but was kept locked away in the tower by the wicked witch, from which there was no way in or out. When the witch wanted to go in and see her, she would say “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I might climb the golden stair.”

Gadis muda itu, bernama Rapunzel oleh ahli sihir itu, membesar menjadi sangat cantik, tetapi telah dikurung di dalam menara oleh ahli sihir jahat, yang tidak ada jalan keluar atau masuk. Apabila ahli sihir itu ingin masuk dan melihatnya, dia akan berkata "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, turunkan rambutmu, supaya saya boleh menaiki tangga emas."

One day, when Rapunzel was singing to pass the time, she happened to catch the attention of a young prince, who was so enchanted by her voice that he learned the secret of how to get to her. While Rapunzel was startled by him at first, they soon fell in love. It so happened that Rapunzel accidentally told the witch, “My, you are much heavier than my prince!” after which the witch, infuriated, chopped off her hair and threw her out into the wilderness. The prince was blinded by thorns and roamed the land, lamenting his beloved Rapunzel.

Suatu hari, ketika Rapunzel menyanyi untuk menghabiskan masa, dia secara kebetulan menarik perhatian seorang putera muda, yang sangat terpesona dengan suaranya sehingga dia mengetahui rahsia bagaimana untuk mendekatinya. Walaupun Rapunzel terkejut dengannya pada mulanya, mereka tidak lama kemudian jatuh cinta. Kebetulan Rapunzel secara tidak sengaja memberitahu ahli sihir itu, "Astaga, awak jauh lebih berat daripada putera saya!" selepas itu ahli sihir itu, berang, memotong rambutnya dan membuangnya ke padang gurun. Putera itu dibutakan oleh duri dan berkeliaran di tanah, meratapi Rapunzel yang dikasihinya.

When they found each other again, the prince being lured by a beautiful voice, they cried for joy, and the tears which fell from Rapunzel’s eyes went into the prince’s, and cleansed them, enabling him to see again. The two lived together in peace for the rest of their lives.

Apabila mereka bertemu semula, putera itu terpikat oleh suara yang indah, mereka menangis kegembiraan, dan air mata yang jatuh dari mata Rapunzel masuk ke dalam mata putera itu, dan membersihkan mereka, membolehkan dia melihat semula. Kedua-duanya hidup bersama dengan aman seumur hidup.

The important thing to take away from this story is that one should never steal because it can have bad consequences, as in the case of Rapunzel’s parents, who lost their beautiful daughter because they were greedy and stole fruits.
