verse:
she climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
then she unwraps the parcel and discoveres a castle inside
the drawbridge is open and the voice from the water
says welcome my daughter we've all been expecting you to come
she climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
