Trivia: Why is Rapunzel trapped in her tower?
She agreed to marry an evil prince
Her father traded her to a witch
A jealous stepsister trapped her
She’s imprisoned by birds
The correct answer is Her father traded her to a witch
So why is this answer correct? : Back in the 19th century, people took a pregnant woman’s cravings seriously. After seeing rapunzel (a type of plant with edible leaves, roots, and flowers) growing in a witch’s garden, a soon-to-be mother craves it. Her husband tries to steal some, gets caught by the witch, and barters his unborn daughter for the plants. Negotiating wasn’t Rapunzel’s dad’s strong suit, but there is a powerful lesson: before you go looting a witch’s greenhouse, try the farmer’s market.
