King Malcom punishes Rapunzel

King Malcom was in the kitchen, having some coffee and reading the newspaper when he heard someone crying and sobbing in the next room.

"I DID NOT DO IT!!" somebody yelled.

King Malcom's wife, Queen Aurelia, looked at him. "I am going, I am going." he said, as he put down his coffee and the newspaper down and went into the next room. There, he saw his daughter, Rapunzel, with a toy cat behind her back. Her brother, Copper, was standing behind her, and her other brother, Tod, was sitting on the floor, crying and sobbing because Rapunzel hit him on the head with her toy.

"Rapunzel?" asked King Malcom, "Rapunzel, did you just hit Tod on the head with your toy cat?"

"No!" Rapunzel replied rudely.

"Are you lying to me?"

"No!"

King Malcom turned to his son. "Copper?"

"She did it." Copper said.

"No one likes to tattle on other people." said King Malcom, as Copper walked upstairs to his bedroom.

King Malcom picked up Tod and rubbed him to stop him from crying and sobbing. Then he turned to Rapunzel as he placed him in his playpen, saying, "All right, Rapunzel! Go upstairs!"

"NO!!" Rapunzel shouted.

Now King Malcom was getting angry. "Rapunzel Abigail Lucille Comeau, I am not going to say it again! One...Two...Three!" King Malcom shouted.

At that moment, King Malcom angrily picked up Rapunzel and placed her on the couch for forty five minutes. "All right, that was it!" he said.

"What?" Rapunzel asked. "That's right, that was it! You are in a time-out! And you will be punished! And you are not going to the video store with Flynn tomorrow!"

Rapunzel became very angry. She glared angrily at King Malcom and yelled, "YOU ARE AS EVIL AS MOTHER GOTHEL!!!!"

Rapunzel then began to cry and sob, and she went upstairs to her bedroom, with Tod and Copper following her, where her boyfriend, Flynn, and her best friends, Eddy, Ed, Double D, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, are waiting for her.

"You did the right thing, King Malcom. Thank you." Queen Aurelia smiled, "What did you do?" "I gave her a time-out on the chair for forty five minutes for hitting Tod." King Malcom said. Queen Aurelia nodded. "Good."

"And I told her she could not go to the video store with Flynn tomorrow."

Queen Aurelia got disappointed. "No, no, King Malcom, you could not do that." she said.

King Malcom had a better idea. "We'll send Young Baloo." he said. "He was Rapunzel's brother." Queen Aurelia said.

"Come on, Queen Aurelia." said King Malcom.

"No, King Malcom." Queen Aurelia implored him. "You have to unground Dot."

King Malcom sadly sighed, then gave in. "Queen Aurelia," he said. "Do not ask me to do something, then tell me the way I did it was wrong."
