Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She was raised to believe that she was a princess, and her father was a great king. For her own protection, he locked her in a high tower and wouldn't allow her to leave or do much else until she grew up. Unfortunately, the girl never did. She was always too young to leave. The only company she kept were the characters in the books she read. She thought, as her father did, that reading would prepare her for the dangers outside, but she never was ready, never did grow up. One day, her father left her. Somehow, with the help from someone outside, the girl was able to leave the tower. She did grow up, at least in appearance, but all who met her remarked on how distant she seemed, as if she wasn't really there, wasn't really real.
For you see, the moral of the story is that she needed to leave on her own to truly grow up. Her father had kept her there for so long that even though she was finally able to leave, part of her would always remain locked in that room.
