Summary

As Peggy and her father journey farther away from civilization, Peggy’s doll, Phyllis, begins speaking to Peggy, saying, “I wonder if die Hütte is actually real” (85). Peggy and her father rest for the night, and Peggy wakes up thinking about Omi, realizing Omi was not only her grandmother but also, “other things too—a daughter, a wife, and, most difficult to comprehend of all, Ute’s mother” (89). Peggy remembers Omi warning her “not to trust the stranger in the woods or to be sure to always carry breadcrumbs in my apron pockets, or to stay away from the wolf’s teeth” (90). Peggy then gets up and her father asks her what her name is that morning, before deciding to call her “Rapunzel” (92). Both he and Peggy then realize they forget to pack Peggy’s comb.
