What is Rapunzel: a fairy tale about?

Rapunzel lives alone in a high tower, where a powerful witch has hidden her away from the world. The only way in or out is through a window, reached by climbing Rapunzel’s long, golden hair. One day, a young prince discovers the tower and hears Rapunzel singing. Their secret meetings give Rapunzel hope, but when the witch learns what has happened, she becomes furious. Rapunzel and the prince must face danger before they can find freedom and happiness.
