I choose this because it is a very popluar folktale and i read the book plenty of times its about a girl Rapunzel who has dreamed about what lay on the other side of her villa’s wall. Then on her twelfth birthday, she uses her lasso skills to sneak over the top of the wall – and is horrified to discover Mother Gothel has been keeping hundreds of people enslaved in a horrible mining camp, including Rapunzel’s real mother!
Furious at Rapunzel for discovering the truth, Mother Gothel banishes her to a gigantic hollow tree where Rapunzel spends four years, watching her hair grow ridiculously long. To pass the time, Rapunzel practices her old rope tricks – using her braids as makeshift lassoes and whips. Eventually, she gets so good at using her braids that she lassos a distant tree and swings to freedom
