Ah, missed that the first time round. I _knew_ this computer was bad for my eyesight. But both you and Muke missed the neatest part IMHO: The young lady's name is Rapunzel, and she has very long hair. The gnome is on the ground; in order to access her in the tower, he calls out: Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair! She does and he climbs up it. Way back when, Stan Freberg recorded his version of the story, of which I remember only : Repulsive, Repulsive, let down your hair!
