The narrator begins by asking the reader why he is still thinking about the girl. He asks the reader if he really doesn't understand her, and if he's just pretending not to understand. The narrator explains that liking someone isn't necessarily the same thing as liking someone else, and that he and the reader don't have much experience with liking someone. He then asks if the reader believes in fairy tales like the ones in the books. He says that people are always willing to believe these kinds of stories, but when it comes to their own feelings, they will find that they aren't quite right for them. If they're unhappy, he says, then they'll be scared of the fairy tales. He tells the reader that he'll have to ask himself if he also believes in these fairy tales, because he can't figure out why he'd want to believe in them.
