There once lived a prince, who was looking for a real princess to marry. He traveled across the seven seas in search of the right princess, but he wasn’t sure if the princesses he met were real or not. After looking for a long time, he eventually returned home, feeling terrible.

One evening, there was a terrible thunderstorm. He heard a knock on the door, and the king went to open it. A princess was standing there in her dirty and muddy clothes. Her hair looked dirty, she was completely wet, and her shoes were covered in mud. Still, she said she was a real princess. “We’ll soon find out the truth,” said the queen. The queen went to the bedroom and took all the mattresses off the bed. She then placed a pea at the bottom, and put twenty mattresses on top of it. The princess was asked to sleep on the bed for the night. In the morning, the queen questioned the princess about her sleep. The princess replied, “I just couldn’t sleep all night. God knows what, but there was something very hard on the bed.” The queen then understood that she was indeed a real princess. Only a real princess would feel the pea through the twenty mattresses. Knowing that she was a real princess, the prince married her immediately.
