Once upon a time, in a land filled with green forests and clear streams, there stood a tall, lonely tower. Inside the tower lived a young girl named Rapunzel. She had beautiful, long hair as golden as the sun. Rapunzel loved to sing and watch the birds from her window.

Rapunzel was not alone in the tower. A mean witch named Greta kept her locked away. Greta was afraid that Rapunzel would leave her if she could. Every day, Greta flew up to the window on her broomstick to visit Rapunzel.

Rapunzel dreamed of freedom. She would stare at the forest, wishing she could explore it. The tall trees seemed to wave at her, inviting her to play. Rapunzel sighed and wished for a friend.

One day, Rapunzel decided to be brave. 'I must escape,' she thought. 'I want to see the world.' She started to plan. Rapunzel had many books, and she read them to learn about the world outside.

The next time Greta came, Rapunzel was ready. 'Witch Greta, may I have some paper and pencils?' she asked. 'I want to draw the birds I see.' Greta, who loved Rapunzel's drawings, agreed.

Rapunzel began to draw, but she also wrote a secret message on the paper. She threw her drawings out of the window, hoping someone would find them and read the hidden plea for help.

Days passed, and Rapunzel worried no one would find her message. Then, one sunny afternoon, she heard a voice. 'Hello! Is someone up there?' it called. Rapunzel rushed to the window and saw a young boy looking up.

The boy had found her drawings and read her secret note. His name was Leo, and he wanted to help. 'I will come back with a plan,' he promised. Rapunzel felt a spark of hope light up her heart.

Leo returned with a long, strong rope. 'Tie this to your window,' he shouted. Rapunzel did as he said. That night, she would climb down to freedom. She packed a small bag with her favorite book and a warm cloak.

Once darkness fell, Rapunzel whispered goodbye to her tower room. She climbed out of the window and down the rope. Her heart was pounding with excitement and fear. She reached the ground and hugged Leo.

The night was filled with the sound of their laughter as they ran through the moonlit forest. Rapunzel felt the grass under her feet and the wind in her hair. She was free at last.

Rapunzel and Leo find adventures every day. They became great friends, exploring the forests and beyond. Rapunzel learned to read the stars, swim in the rivers, and climb the tallest trees. Her world was full of wonder and joy.
