The Princess and The Pea

There was once a prince, he wanted to marry a princess, but there’s a

condition she must be a real Princess. He travelled all around the world to find

one, but there was always something wrong. it was impossible for him to

decide whether they were real princesses or not ,he had great difficulty in

discovering; there was always something which was not quite right about

them. So at last he returned to his palace, quite cast down, and he was very sad because he wanted to marry a real princess so badly.

One evening a fearful tempest arose, a terrible storm, it thundered and

lightened, and the rain poured down from the sky in torrents, it was as dark as pitch, indeed it was a fearful night.

All at once there was heard a violent knocking at the door, the violent knocking

continued for a while until the old king , the prince’s father, went out himself to open it

It was a princess who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the

rain and the storm. The water streamed out of her hair and her clothes; it ran

in at the top of her shoes and out at the heel, but she said that she was a real princess.

‘Well we shall soon see if that is true", thought the old Queen, but she said

nothing. She went into the bedroom, took all the bed clothes off and took a

pea and laid it on the bed frame: then she took twenty mattresses and piled

them up on top of the pea, and then twenty feather beds on top of the

mattresses. This was where the princess was to sleep that night. In the

morning they asked her how she slept.

‘Oh terribly bad!’ said the princess. ‘I have hardly closed my eyes the whole

night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to be lying upon some

hard thing, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!’

They saw at once that she must be a real princess when she had felt the pea

through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. Nobody but a real

princess could have such a delicate skin.

So the prince took her to be his wife, for now he was sure that he had found a

real princess, and the pea was put into the Museum, where it may still be seen

if no one has stolen it.

The End.
