(The Princess and the Pea via Wikimedia Commons)
-Once upon a time, a prince wanted to marry a princess
-She couldn't be an ordinary girl - she had to be a real princess
-He searched around the world but could not find the right one
-Each princess he found had a flaw and some were not real princesses
-He so desperately wanted to find a princess
-One night a really bad storm passed through
-The king heard someone knocking at the gate
-It was a girl claiming she was a princess
-The queen had doubts but kept them to herself
-She hid a pea beneath twenty mattresses and twenty eiderdown beds
-The next morning when the queen asked the "princess" how she slept, the girl said terribly
-This proved that she was a princess because the real ones are really sensitive to stuff like that
-The prince and the princess got married
-The pea was put in the museum
