Transcription:
Tangled Rapunzel¡¯s amazing hair.
Rapunzel has a treasure more precious
than gold. Brighter than diamonds, its value untold. Finer than silk and
exceedingly rare. Can you guess what it is? It¡¯s her magical hair! Her hair
is a fountain of wondrous power. It¡¯s also why she has to stay in this tower.
It¡¯s longer than ladders and strong as bamboo. There is almost nothing her
hair cannot do. When she's cold it's a blanket. When she's bored it's a swing.
Plus did she mention it glows when she sings? Her hair helps her reach those
high up places. And it's great for making funny faces. She uses it a lot when
she cooks or to mark her place in a favorite book. It takes hours to wash and
to dry that takes days. But it comes in quite handy when putting on plays.
She can tie it like a ribbon pile it up in a dew. String it up for a hammock or two.
Oh yes she is blessed to have magical hair. Yet, she keeps wondering what
it's like out there. Just once she wishes she could let herself down and finally
feel her toes touch the ground. Then off she'd run to sail the high seas.
Or maybe take a swing through the trees. She¡¯d soak up the breeze and
the sparkling sunlight. If she wants she might even go fly a kite.
Then she'd let her hair catch some silver moon beams. To put it quite simply
she'd follow her dreams. Yes, her hair is amazing but here's a secret you
see; she'd trade it all for adventure. And the chance to be free.
