The story is a retelling of the original Grimm brothers' 1812 version, which leaves in details not present in later versions, such as Rapunzel giving birth to twins by the prince. <-- Might want to reword this, sounds off. Dbonilla89 (talk) 17:26, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

A couple who are happily married are expecting a baby girl. The husband steals an herb called Rapunzel, from the garden next to them which is owned by a sorceress, in order to please his wife's craving. The husband is caught in the act by the sorceress, and is told to give up his baby he is expecting, in exchange for sparing his life. This sentence needs rewording.
