00:00 One of the letters is from her friend Rapunzel, who is trapped in a tower, held prisoner there
00:05 by a wicked witch.
00:06 The tower has no stairs and no doors, so Rapunzel is waiting to be rescued by a handsome prince.
00:13 What can be taking him so long, she thinks.
00:15 Rapunzel looks down at her long hair, which now almost touches the ground, and decides
00:20 that she has had enough of all this waiting and will take matters into her own hands.
00:25 Taking out a pair of sewing scissors, Rapunzel cuts off her long hair, ties it firmly to
00:30 the window frame and uses it as a rope to lower herself out of the window.
00:35 Free at last, Rapunzel visits the wicked witch to give her a piece of her mind and decides
00:39 to make her an offer.
00:42 Rapunzel has plans.
00:43 She borrows money from the bank to turn the tower into three beautiful flats, adding doors
00:48 and a staircase, as well as beautiful kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms.
00:53 She decides to live in the top one herself.
00:56 It has magnificent views.
00:58 Rapunzel invites her friends Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to live in the other two flats,
01:03 and in return they give her money each month, which helps her to repay the money she has
01:07 borrowed.
01:09 After a while, she receives enough money to buy more towers for more people to rent.
01:14 Rapunzel is now a free woman, who earns lots of money and is able to live well.
01:18 She even has some spare money which she can use to buy a share in Cinderella's new and
01:22 exciting sports shoe business.
01:25 Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel are all successful young women.
01:29 They have used their brains, imagination and good sense to earn enough money to look after
01:33 themselves without a prince charming in sight.
01:37 They decide to start a special club called the Fairy Godmothers, where they use their
01:40 money to help other clever young people with brilliant ideas.
01:44 And guess what?
01:45 They all live happily ever after.
01:49 What a great story.
01:51 So in the end, the princesses didn't need a prince to save them.
01:55 They set up their own businesses, saved their money and then spent it very wisely.
01:59 Rapunzel could have bought herself lots of ice cream, but instead she was smart and bought
02:04 the tower.
02:06 Oh Ace, did you buy a tennis racket?
