He said, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, please let down your golden hair." Then the long hair was dropped from the inside of the tower.

　　第二天，王子看到巫婆爬著萵苣姑娘金色的頭發(fā)進(jìn)入塔內(nèi)。女巫離開(kāi)塔后，王子模仿了女巫的動(dòng)作說(shuō)道：“萵苣姑娘，萵苣姑娘，請(qǐng)放下你的金色頭發(fā)?！惫唬杨^發(fā)從塔里放了出來(lái)。

　　Upon seeing Rapunzel, the Prince fell instantly in love with her. He said, "You are the most beautiful lady in the world." Rapunzel also lost her heart to the handsome prince. The two lovers met each other every night, hiding from the eyes of the witch.

　　However one day, the witch found out about these secret meetings, cut off the hair of Rapunzel, and sent her to a desert. Then the witch dropped down the cut hair to the Prince, as he came to see Rapunzel. When the Prince climbed up the tower, holding the cut hair, the witch cast off the ladder sending the Prince crashing to the ground.

　　He fell heavily on the earth at the base of the tower and became blind. The Prince gained strength by wandering around the land in order to find Rapunzel, and finally met her in the heart of the desert. Rapunzel recognized the Prince at once. Upon realizing that the Prince had become blind, Rapunzel's eyes filled with tears, which trickled down into the eyes of the Prince.
