old man came and said, “I think a lady is kept in a tunnel and she is tied

with ropes all over her body.” The king and his daughter ran quickly to

see the tunnel under the desert. They saw a woman tied with ropes. To

king and Rapunzel’s surprise the lady was the king’s dead wife and the

girl’s mother. They both were shocked as well as happy. They took her to

the palace and put her on bed. When she woke up she was very happy to

see her daughter all grown up. There were tears of joy when her eyes fell

on King Siddhraj Sinh. She narrated the entire story of what had happened

to her. King’s minister had kidnapped her immediately after she gave

birth to the princess. He wanted to avenge the death of his son so he

threw her into the tunnel.

The king ordered his Senapati Sesalraj to imprison the wicked minister.

The whole kingdom was rejoicing to see their favourite queen. Princess

Rapunzel married the young lad from the market who turned out to be

the prince of the neighbouring kingdom.
