THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA

Once upon a time there was a Prince; he wanted to get himself a Princess, but she had to be a real Princess. So he travelled all over the world to find one, but in every case something was the matter. There were lots of Princesses, but he could never quite make out whether they were real or not. So he came back home feeling very unhappy
One evening a terrible storm came. Lightning flashed, thunder rolled, and the rain poured down in torrents-it was simply awful!Suddenly there was a knock at the city gate, and the old King went out to answer it.
There was a Prince standing outside,but what a sight the rain and the bad weather had made of her!The water streamed down her hair and her clothes, and yet she said she was a real princess.
"It won't take a long to find that out," thought the old Queen. Without saying anything, she went into the bed chamber, took off all the bedclothes, and placed one pea on the bottom boards of the bed. Then she took twenty mattresses and put them on top of the pea, and after that she put twenty feather - pillow on top of the mattresses.
That was where the Princess was to spend the night. In the morning they asked her how she had slept."Oh, dreadfully!"said the princess. "I hardly slept a wink all night. Whatever could have been in the bed? I was lying on something so hard that I'm black and blue all over."
So of course they could see that she was a real Princess, since she had felt the pea throught the twenty mattresses and the twenty feather-pillows. No one but a real Princess could have such tender skin as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, and they lived happily ever after.
