Why did Rapunzel get kidnapped again?

Couldn't the witch just pick an orphan up somewhere else, or find an abandoned baby on a midden or something? And if she'd gone the legitimate route, she would've been the hero of the story and could've stayed in town! Could've had as many kids as she liked! So why did she do things the hard way, again?

Gaelic spelling may be consistent in Gaelic (it's hard to be worse than English!) but it just messes everything up when transported willy nilly to English. Why do we keep trying to preserve the original spelling?

Also, I still think the story makes little to no sense.
