She scolded him fiercely for daring to enter and steal from her garden.
"How can you dare," she asked with an angry look, "to climb into my garden and like a thief to steal my rapunzel? You will pay for this."
He excused himself as best he could with his wife's pregnancy, and how it would be dangerous to deny her anything.
"Oh," he answered, "Let mercy overrule justice. I came to do this out of necessity. My wife saw your rapunzel from our window, and such a longing came over her, that she would die, if she did not get some to eat."
Finally the fairy spoke, "I will accept your excuse and even allow you to take as much rapunzel as you

One day a young prince came through the forest where the tower stood.
A few years later it happened that a king's son was riding through the forest.
He saw the beautiful Rapunzel standing at her window, heard her sing with her sweet voice, and fell in love with her.
As he approached the tower he heard a song so beautiful that he stopped to listen. It was Rapunzel, who was passing the time by singing with her sweet voice.
Because there was no door in the tower and no ladder was tall enough to reach her, he fell into despair.
The prince wanted to climb up to her, and looked for a door in the tower, but none was to be found.
He came to the forest every day, until once he saw the fairy, who said:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel!Let down your hair.
He rode home, but the song had so touched his heart that he returned to the forest every day and listened to it. One time, as he was thus standing behind a tree, he saw the sorceress approach, and heard her say:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel,Let down your hair.
Then Rapunzel let down her strands of hair, and the sorceress climbed up them to her.

Then he knew which ladder would get him into the tower.
"If that is the ladder into the tower, then sometime I will try my luck."
He remembered the words that he would have to speak, and the next day, as soon as it was dark, he went to the tower and called upward:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel!Let down your hair!
And the next day, just as it was beginning to get dark, he went to the tower and called out:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel,Let down your hair.
She let her hair fall. He tied himself to it and was pulled up.
The hair fell down, and the prince climbed up.
At first Rapunzel was frightened, but soon she came to like the young king so well that she arranged for him to come every day and be pulled up. Thus they lived in joy and pleasure for a long time.
At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man such as she had never seen before came in to her. However, the prince began talking to her in a very friendly manner, telling her that his heart had been so touched by her singing that he could have no peace until he had seen her in person. Then Rapunzel lost her fear, and when he asked her if she would take him as her husband, she thought, "He would rather have me than would old Frau Gothel." She said yes and placed her hand into his. She said, "I would go with you gladly, but I do not know how to get down. Every time that you come, bring a strand of silk, from which I will weave a ladder.

When it is finished I will climb down, and you can take me away on your horse." They arranged that he would come to her every evening, for the old woman came by day.
The fairy did not discover what was happening until one day Rapunzel said to her, "Frau Gothel, tell me why it is that my clothes are all too tight. They no longer fit me."
The sorceress did not notice what was happening until one day Rapunzel said to her, "Frau Gothel, tell me why it is that you are more difficult to pull up than is the young prince, who will be arriving any moment now?"
"You godless child," said the fairy. "What am I hearing from you?" She immediately saw how she had been deceived and was terribly angry.
"You godless child," cried the sorceress. "What am I hearing from you? I thought I had removed you from the whole world, but you have deceived me nonetheless."
She took Rapunzel's beautiful hair, wrapped it a few times around her left hand, grasped a pair of scissors with her right hand, and snip snip, cut it off.
In her anger she grabbed Rapunzel's beautiful hair, wrapped it a few times around her left hand, grasped a pair of scissors with her right hand, and snip snap, cut it off.

The prince climbed up, but above, instead of his beloved Rapunzel, he found the sorceress, who peered at him with poisonous and evil looks.
"Do you know what, evil one?" cried the angry fairy. "You have lost Rapunzel forever."
"Aha!" she cried scornfully. "You have come for your Mistress Darling, but that beautiful bird is no longer sitting in her nest, nor is she singing any more. The cat got her, and will scratch your eyes out as well. You have lost Rapunzel. You will never see her again."
The prince, in his despair, threw himself from the tower.

Sleeping Beauty – retold by The Brothers Grimm
In times past there lived a king and queen, who said to each other every day of their lives, "Would that we had a child!" and yet they had none. But it happened once that when the queen was bathing, there came a frog out of the water, and he squatted on the ground, and said to her: "Thy wish shall be fulfilled; before a year has gone by, thou shalt bring a daughter into the world."
And as the frog foretold, so it happened; and the queen bore a daughter so beautiful that the king could not contain himself for joy, and he ordained a great feast. Not only did he bid to it his relations, friends, and acquaintances, but also the wise women, that they might be kind and favourable to the child. There were thirteen of them in his kingdom, but as he had only provided twelve golden plates for them to eat from, one of them had to be left out.
However, the feast was celebrated with all splendour; and as it drew to an end, the wise women stood forward to present to the child their wonderful gifts: one bestowed virtue, one beauty, a third riches, and so on, whatever there is in the world to wish for. And when eleven of them had said their say, in came the uninvited thirteenth, burning to revenge herself, and without greeting or respect, she cried with a loud voice: "In the fifteenth year of her age the princess shall prick herself with a spindle and shall fall down dead." And without speaking one more word she turned away and left the hall. Everyone was terrified at her saying, when the twelfth came forward, for she had not yet bestowed her gift, and though she could not do away with the evil prophecy, yet she could soften it, so she said: "The princess shall not die, but fall into a deep sleep for a hundred years."

Now the king, being desirous of saving his child even from this misfortune, gave commandment that all the spindles in his kingdom should be burnt up. The maiden grew up, adorned with all the gifts of the wise women; and she was so lovely, modest, sweet, and kind and clever, that no one who saw her could help loving her. It happened one day, she being already fifteen years old, that the king and queen rode abroad, and the maiden was left behind alone in the castle. She wandered about into all the nooks and corners, and into all the chambers and parlours, as the fancy took her, till at last she came to an old tower. She climbed the narrow winding stair which led to a little door, with a rusty key sticking out of the lock; she turned the key, and the door opened, and there in the little room sat an old woman with a spindle, diligently spinning her flax.
"Good day, mother," said the princess, "what are you doing?" - "I am spinning," answered the old woman, nodding her head. "What thing is that that twists round so briskly?" asked the maiden, and taking the spindle into her hand she began to spin; but no sooner had she touched it than the evil prophecy was fulfilled, and she pricked her finger with it. In that very moment she fell back upon the bed that stood there, and lay in a deep sleep.
And this sleep fell upon the whole castle; the king and queen, who had returned and were in the great hall, fell fast asleep, and with them the whole court. The horses in their stalls, the dogs in the yard, the pigeons on the roof, the flies on the wall, the very fire that flickered on the hearth, became still, and slept like the rest; and the meat on the spit ceased roasting, and the cook, who was going to pull the scullion's hair for some mistake he had made, let him go, and went to sleep. And the wind ceased, and not a leaf fell from the trees about the castle. Then

round about that place there grew a hedge of thorns thicker every year, until at last the whole castle was hidden from view, and nothing of it could be seen but the vane on the roof.
And a rumour went abroad in all that country of the beautiful sleeping Rosamond, for so was the princess called; and from time to time many kings' sons came and tried to force their way through the hedge; but it was impossible for them to do so, for the thorns held fast together like strong hands, and the young men were caught by them, and not being able to get free, there died a lamentable death.
Many a long year afterwards there came a king's son into that country, and heard an old man tell how there should be a castle standing behind the hedge of thorns, and that there a beautiful enchanted princess named Rosamond had slept for a hundred years, and with her the king and queen, and the whole court. The old man had been told by his grandfather that many king's sons had sought to pass the thorn-hedge, but had been caught and pierced by the thorns, and had died a miserable death. Then said the young man: "Nevertheless, I do not fear to try; I shall win through and see the lovely Rosamond." The good old man tried to dissuade him, but he would not listen to his words. For now the hundred years were at an end, and the day had come when Rosamond should be awakened. When the prince drew near the hedge of thorns, it was changed into a hedge of beautiful large flowers, which parted and bent aside to let him pass, and then closed behind him in a thick hedge. When he reached the castle-yard, he saw the horses and brindled hunting-dogs lying asleep, and on the roof the pigeons were sitting with their heads under their wings. And when he came indoors, the flies on the wall were asleep, the cook in the kitchen had his hand uplifted to

strike the scullion, and the kitchen-maid had the black fowl on her lap ready to pluck.
Then he mounted higher, and saw in the hall the whole court lying asleep, and above them, on their thrones, slept the king and the queen. And still he went farther, and all was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing; and at last he came to the tower, and went up the winding stair, and opened the door of the little room where Rosamond lay. And when he saw her looking so lovely in her sleep, he could not turn away his eyes; and presently he stooped and kissed her.
And she awaked, and opened her eyes, and looked very kindly on him. And she rose, and they went forth together, and the king and the queen and whole court waked up, and gazed on each other with great eyes of wonderment. And the horses in the yard got up and shook themselves, the hounds sprang up and wagged their tails, the pigeons on the roof drew their heads from under their wings, looked round, and flew into the field, the flies on the wall crept on a little farther, the kitchen fire leapt up and blazed, and cooked the meat, the joint on the spit began to roast, the cook gave the scullion such a box on the ear that he roared out, and the maid went on plucking the fowl.
Then the wedding of the Prince and Rosamond was held with all splendour, and they lived very happily together until their lives' end.

Hamilton Oral Text - CinderellaCinderella lived with her mean stepmother and her two nasty stepsisters, who pinched her, yelled at her and made her do all the work while they went shopping for new clothes or sat in front of a mirror, trying to make themselves look beautiful.
One day an invitation arrived from the royal palace, inviting all the young ladies in the kingdom to the prince’s birthday ball. The two stepsisters almost fainted with excitement and immediately started ordering poor Cinderella about. She didn’t know if she was coming or going. They eventually departed in a whirlwind of fine silks, ribbons and perfume, leaving poor Cinderella all alone in the kitchen. How she wished she could have gone to the ball too!
Suddenly, an old woman stood before her. ”I am your fairy godmother,” she said, gently wiping the tears from Cinderella’s face. “And you shall go to the ball!” With a flick of her wand she turned a pumpkin into a beautiful golden coach, and six white mice magically grew into six sleek and graceful white horses. Cinderella looked down and gasped as she saw a soft sparkling gown and the tips of two exquisite glass slippers. “But remember! The magic only lasts until the stroke of midnight,” the fairy godmother warned, as she waved Cinderella off in the coach.
Cinderella had a wonderful evening at the palace! Her stepsisters didn’t recognise her. The prince lavished her with attention and danced with her all evening. She was having such a good time that

she didn’t notice that it was nearing midnight. As the clock started to strike midnight, she panicked and rushed from the palace, losing one of her glass slippers on the stairs as she disappeared into the night.
The prince was heartbroken and determined to find the mysterious princess. Every girl in the land was ordered to try on the tiny glass slipper and he announced that he would marry the one whose foot it fitted. At last he came to Cinderella’s house. The two sisters pushed and shoved one another, each wanting to be the first to squash and squeeze her foot into the slipper. The prince became impatient and turned to leave, when he spotted Cinderella, who was sweeping the courtyard below. In spite of the stepsisters’ loud, wailing protests, the prince slipped the shoe on to Cinderella’s foot. It fitted perfectly!
The delighted prince looked into her eyes and recognised her at once. He asked her to marry him and, smiling happily, she agreed. Her stepsisters looked on with sour, angry faces.
