The witch; "I was very upset with the injustice by the King and
the Queen and so to teach them a lesson I stole their baby from the castle. I
raised the child as my own and did not tell her anything about the world
because I was afraid that she would leave me. She was the only one whom I could
call mine. I loved her very much. I know that it was cruel of me to keep her
captivated like a prisoner but the king had sent his spies all over the
kingdom. It hurt me to reject her request to come down but I couldn't risk it.
One day as I was returning after collecting berries, I saw a white horse tied
by the side of the tower. I was afraid that it must be a soldier sent by the
king. I climbed up the tower using the ladder I had hidden under the bush. What
I saw inside made me furious. There a man was sitting, holding Rapunzel’s hand
by the fireplace. He was not a soldier but by the looks of him, I could see
that he was a royalty. This meant more danger to my life. I jumped in and dragged the man through the
room and threw him down the tower. I firmly told Rapunzel that she was not to
meet the man anymore. I stopped going out for days. Finally when there was no
more food in the tower I had to go look for some. When I got back, Rapunzel
would not answer to my call. She wouldn't throw her hair down. I had to use the
ladder again. Inside I saw the long hair lying lifeless on the floor. I came
too late. The girl had run away. It shattered me".
