He is not outside of the cell. If he were free, he could get bread at a store. He is, therefore, in the cell, but this prisoner locked himself in the cell, and threw away the key, or he was born into a cell that his parents or their parents made, not understanding that the difficulty he has in getting what he wants is of his own doing or of his society’s doing.

Furthermore, he has no idea what a key is, or what a cage is outside of the obstacle to his bread, and so his story has made it so that he can't even know he is in the cell, or that the obstacle to the bread is the same obstacle to getting the key that would let him out of the cell he has made for himself, or his society has made for him.

Lastly, the stick in his hand, reused from being a branch on a tree he knows nothing about, and rewritten to get the bread is the same stick he could use to get out of the cell. That stick is rationality, but it is only as rational as the story it is being used in. In getting the bread, it makes one story, but in getting the key, it makes another he cannot see from his story of being inside the cell, or the stick cannot see by being inside the story of getting the bread.

Ironically, by being so starved of the daily grind to get the bread, he could easily fit through the bars of the cell, needing neither the cell nor the key to find his freedom, showing us all that, regardless of how gilded our cage seems to be, putting up the metaphorical bars of additional obstacles in order to overcome other obstacles (such as when societies make rules to manage the society) changes what we are from being what can need to become to overcome the original obstacle, to becoming only that which overcomes the obstacle we put up for ourselves.

philosophers (at least as Wax Dey imagines) fancy themselves answerers of questions.
clearly, experience and the common senses suggest that the key is the obvious choice.
therefore, only a philosopher would/could provide a justification for such a counter-intuitive decision, anyone else'd have simply thought the prisoner silly.
it doesn't matter what the answer actually is, having any answer makes you a "philosopher".

He was born in the cage, and had grown up in it. Thus, he is familiar with bread: the sustinence that it brought to him everyday. His reality does not consist of "keys"; they mean nothing to him. The piece of metal on the ground does not involve a path to freedom, nor even symbolize it. He does not even know the lock on his door is a lock, nor that the key if he were to think about it, which his reality forbids him to think about, would be able to fit into the hole perfectly, nor that that would be able to open his door. Nor does he know nor desire to go beyong his door beyond human instinct: he has no conscious desire towards freedom or anything to do with the key.
