It was a dark night. The palace was silent. Life was good for the king and queen other than the fact that they where terribly worried about their new daughter. Earlier in the year, the kingdom's queen was deathly sick. There was said to be a witch who lived in the woods that possessed an object of great power, it could heal anything. So, the king set out to find it. He brought his whole army with him. They searched high and low until they came across a cottage with a small garden. The searched the gardens. "This way!" One of the men said. The king followed. The cam to a large Rapunzel plant. Underneath was a small glass tube with the object in it. The object had no name but it light up like a part of the sun was kept in a jar. The king and his guards ran back to the castle. They poured the object into the queen's water. She drank it and was immediately healed. The king told the queen about finding it under a large Rapunzel plant, and from that moment, they decided to name their daughter Rapunzel. She would be a 'hidden" gift.
    Months past, the mail carrier ran up to the king and queen's bedroom. He handed them a letter. It said it was from the witch, Gothel.
