Wait, read it backwards:

**Once upon a time.**

A princess was imprisoned in a tower.

She said: "I will save the princess again by ascending the uncrumpled gingerbread." She said: "Every time I think about it, I may start from here one day."

She climbed up the tower. She solved the riddle. The sword was drawn.

Finally, it was over. And she had come back on her own. The married the king.

They lived ever after happily, for all time all.

**The End.**

Actually, the real version:

Once upon a time, a princess was imprisoned in a tower.

She said: "I will save myself."

She climbed up the tower (from the inside, to the roof).

She solved the riddle (that the tower itself posed).

The sword was drawn (she made it from a spoon and patience).

Finally, it was over. She had rescued herself.

She walked down from the tower, on her own terms.

She didn't marry anyone. She became the ruler.

They lived ever after, happily, for all time.

**The End.**

The Moral:

Stories told backwards are just as valid as stories told forwards.

Sometimes you need to read the ending first to understand what you're reading toward.

Sometimes the rescue comes from within.

Sometimes the princess saves herself and that's the whole story.
