  THE REAL PRINCESS

  There was once a Prince who wished to marry a Princess; but then she must be a

  real Princess. He travelled all over the world in hopes of finding such a

  lady; but there was always something wrong. Princesses he found in plenty; but

  whether they were real Princesses it was impossible for him to decide, for now

  one thing, now another, seemed to him not quite right about the ladies. At

  last he returned to his palace quite cast down, because he wished so much to

  have a real Princess for his wife.

  One evening a fearful tempest arose, it thundered and lightened, and the rain

  poured down from the sky in torrents: besides, it was as dark as pitch. All at

  once there was heard a violent knocking at the door, and the old King, the

  Prince's father, went out himself to open it.

  It was a Princess who was standing outside the door. What with the rain and

  the wind, she was in a sad condition; the water trickled down from her hair,

  and her clothes clung to her body. She said she was a real Princess.

  "Ah! we shall soon see that!" thought the old Queen-mother; however, she said

  not a word of what she was going to do; but went quietly into the bedroom,

  took all the bed-clothes off the bed, and put three little peas on the

  bedstead. She then laid twenty mattresses one upon another over the three

  peas, and put twenty feather beds over the mattresses.

  Upon this bed the Princess was to pass the night.

  The next morning she was asked how she had slept. "Oh, very badly indeed!" she

  replied. "I have scarcely closed my eyes the whole night through. I do not

  know what was in my bed, but I had something hard under me, and am all over

  black and blue. It has hurt me so much!"

  Now it was plain that the lady must be a real Princess, since she had been

  able to feel the three little peas through the twenty mattresses and twenty

  feather beds. None but a real Princess could have had such a delicate sense of

  feeling.
