The Singing Tower of Golden Hair

4 min 30 sec

High above the clouds where the moon looked close enough to tickle, a tower of ivory stone rose from a lonely mountain peak.
Inside this tower lived a girl named Rapunzel, whose hair grew longer every day until it spilled like a waterfall of gold out of the only window, a window far too high for anyone on the ground to reach.

She sang while she combed her hair each morning, and her voice floated down the mountainside like bright balloons.
An enchantress had placed her there when she was a baby, promising her parents that the tower would keep her safe from a world that would fear her magical hair.

Rapunzel did not feel safe; she felt alone, for the only visitor she ever had was the enchantress, who climbed up her hair each evening using it as a rope.
One spring dawn, Rapunzel sang a song about wishing for a friend, and the notes drifted all the way to a valley where a young prince hunted butterflies with a net of silver thread.

He heard the song, stopped still, and looked up at the impossible tower glimmering in the sunrise.
The prince, whose name was Rowan, camped at the mountain’s foot for three whole days, listening to Rapunzel’s songs and learning the pattern of the enchantress’s visits.

On the fourth morning, when the enchantress had gone, Rowan stood beneath the window and called softly, “Sing your wish again, fair voice!”
Rapunzel leaned out, saw the tiny figure below, and felt her heart flutter like a trapped bird.

She let down her hair, and Rowan climbed, hand over hand, until he tumbled through the window and they stood face to face, both breathing fast with wonder.
They talked until sunset, planning a way to break the spell that kept her locked away, for the enchantress had hidden the key inside a moonlit pool that only appeared at midnight on the first night of every month.

Rowan promised to return with tools and courage, and Rapunzel gave him a single strand of her golden hair to guide him through the dark.
The next weeks passed slowly, filled with secret notes tied to pebbles and whispered songs at dawn, while the enchantress suspected nothing.

On the chosen night, Rowan arrived with a kite made of silver paper, strong silk thread, and a tiny jar of starlight borrowed from the royal astronomer.
Rapunzel tied her hair to the kite, and Rowan ran along the tower ledge until the kite caught the wind and tugged upward, carrying her hair like a golden ribbon across the sky.

The moonlit pool appeared on the mountain shelf, reflecting the kite’s shape, and Rowan leapt down to snatch the silver key from its depths.
The enchantress arrived, shrieking like a storm, but Rapunzel sang the lullaby the woman once used to rock her, freezing the enchantress in a moment of remembered love.

Rowan unlocked the tower door that had never before been seen, and together they stepped onto the silver kite, which gently carried them down the mountainside as the enchantress wept tears that turned into stardust.
They landed in a meadow of soft clover, where fireflies danced like tiny lanterns, and Rapunzel felt grass under her bare feet for the first time in her life.

Rowan’s butterfly net became a crown of flowers in her hair, and they walked hand in hand toward the kingdom, where bells rang out to greet the girl whose songs had taught the wind to carry hope.
Rapunzel’s golden hair shimmered in the sunlight, no longer a rope but a river of light that lit their path, and every child who heard her story learned that kindness and courage can unravel even the tightest spell.

The enchantress watched from the mountain, her heart lighter, for she knew that love had set them both free, and she spent her days weaving moonbeams into cloaks for travelers who still search for singing towers in the sky.
Rapunzel and Rowan planted a garden where the tower once stood, and every spring the golden flowers that bloom there hum the melody of the girl who sang down the stars.
