Exactly like the Wizard of OZ. Remember at the end of the movie the wizard accidently flies away in the balloon and Dorothy can't get back to Kansas. That is until the good witch reminds her she had the power all along. Dorothy asked her why she wasn't told of this power and the good witch replied, "Because you would not have believed me."
