Once upon a time, a childless couple longed for a baby.But their wish never come true. And there is a garden behind their house.
One day, the wife found an inviting lettuce in the garden. However, frightened and timid, the wife couldn’t get this lettuce into her stomach and the desire was extended day by day. As she became gaunter and gaunter, the husband determined to get that lettuce for his love. So he carefully slid into the garden and got a lettuce to his wife.
But the next day, his wife wanted more. He had to slide into the garden again. Unfortunately, he was caught by the witch.
“Poor me, forgive me. I can't help that. My wife saw the lettuce in your garden through the window. She wanted to eat it so much that she would die if she couldn't.” The husband pray to he witch.
Hearing this, the witch said to him, "I can let you pick any lettuce, but I have a condition: you must give me the child your wife is going to have. I'll make her live fine and treat her like a mother."
The husband, afraid, had to say yes to the witch. As soon as the wife gave birth to the child, the witch came, gave the child the name "lettuce", and then took her away.
The witch named the child Lettuce and raised her in a tower with neither stairs nor doors, accessible only by a small window and Lettuce's long golden hair. Whenever the witch wanted to get in, she stood under the tower and cried:"Lettuce, lettuce, hang your hair down.”
And when the witch cried, Lettuce would loosened her braids and put it down. Then the witch climbed up with her long hair.
One day, a prince passed by the tower. Then he suddenly heard a beautiful song, and stopped to listen quietly. It was the lettuce who sang. The prince tried to climb to the top of the tower to see her,but he could not find a door.
One day,he discovered the witch's secret and climbed up using Lettuce's hair. They fell in love immediately and planned to meet secretly.
but the witch found out and sent Lettuce away.
The witch tricked the prince into climbing the tower, telling him Lettuce was dead. In despair, he jumped from the tower and went blind. Years later, blind and wandering, he stumbled upon Lettuce, now a mother of twins. Her tears restored his vision, and they returned to his kingdom to live happily ever after.
