There was a handsome prince. You see?

One day, when he was walking through the forest, he heard a voice singing lovely as the birds.

It was a maiden, trapped in a high tower.

The prince circled the tower ten times, twenty times, but found no entrance.

The prince returned each night to listen to the maiden’s beautiful voice.

Eventually he saw an old woman climb the maiden’s long, long hair to enter through the high window.

What a great idea! The prince followed suit.

At first, the maiden was afraid, but soon she found the prince to be quite charming!

The prince and the maiden held a secret wedding in the tower.

After much trial and tribulation, they eventually lived happily ever after.
