In anger, the sorceress cuts off Rapunzel's hair and casts her out into the wilderness to fend for herself. In later editions, she asks "Dame Gothel", in a moment of forgetfulness, why it is easier for her to draw up the prince than her. In the first edition (1812) of Kinder- und Hausmärchen ( Children's and Household Tales, most commonly known in English as Grimms' Fairy Tales), she innocently says that her dress is growing tighter around her waist, hinting at pregnancy. Before the plan can come to fruition, however, she foolishly gives him away. Together they plan a means of escape, wherein he will come each night (thus avoiding the sorceress who visits her by day) and bring Rapunzel a piece of silk that she will gradually weave into a ladder. He eventually asks her to marry him, which she agrees to. When she does so, he climbs up and they fall in love. When the sorceress leaves, he bids Rapunzel let her hair down.

When his wife has a baby girl, the sorceress takes her to raise as her own and names her "Rapunzel" after the plant her mother craved (in one version, the couple moves away before the birth in an attempt to avoid surrendering the baby, only for the sorceress to turn up at their door upon the baby's birth, unhampered by their attempt at relocation).
He begs for mercy and she agrees to be lenient, allowing him to take all the rapunzel he wants on condition that the baby be given to her when it's born. As he scales the wall to return home, the sorceress catches him and accuses him of theft. When he returns, she makes a salad out of it and eats it, but she longs for more so her husband returns to the garden to retrieve more. Her husband fears for her life and one night he breaks into the garden to get some for her. She refuses to eat anything else and begins to waste away. The wife, experiencing the cravings associated with pregnancy, notices some rapunzel (meaning, either a Campanula rapunculus (an edible salad green and root vegetable) or a Valerianella locusta (a salad green)) growing in the nearby garden and longs for it.
