Rapunzel — page 3 — Once upon a time there was a couple who longed to have a child Years passed with only the two of them At last it seemed that their wish would come true The wife would soon have a child Before the baby was born the wife liked to sit by a window It looked out on a grand garden filled with beautiful flowers and plants The garden was a wonder but no one dared to enter it It belonged to a witch who surrounded it with a high wall Érase una vez una pareja que ansiaba tener un niño Pasaban los años y estaban ellos dos solos Por fin parecía que su deseo se iba a hacer realidad La mujer pronto tendría un niño Antes de que naciera el bebé a la mujer le gustaba sentarse junto a una ventana Miraba hacia un jardín enorme lleno de flores y plantas preciosas El jardín era una maravilla pero nadie se atrevía a entrar en él Pertenecía a una bruja que lo había rodeado de un muro alto
