Rapunzel Vs. The Fair Angiola

Everyone loves a classic story, but have you ever realized that there are different variations of these classics? What you think is a classic is what someone else might think is a remake. Everyone grew up with different versions of these classics. While the main storyline about a girl who was given away and lives in solitude with a witch stays the same in both Rapunzel and The Fair Angiola, the age at which the girl was given away, as well as the magical touch in The Fair Angiola gives that story more cliffhangers and interest about what will happen next. Once the daughter was given away in both stories she was then raised in a tower. Although she wasn't raised in that tower with her mother. She was raised by a witch.

The witch never let her leave the tower or go anywhere. I think the reason both of these are the same is because it mentions the setting and it has to set up the story.

In that story before Angiola had left she had fed all of the furniture to make sure they wouldn't tell where she had gone, but she didn't feed the broom thinking that a broom wouldn't tell. After Angiola had left and the witch called for her hair there was no response from the tower. The witch had to find a way up without Angiola's long hair. Finally the witch got into the tower. She asked all of the furniture where Angiola had gone and no one answered. Then, the broom shouted out that she had left with the prince.

Because she didn't feed the broom I was very curious whether it would tell the witch where Angiola had gone, or
