The princess and the pea completely. Princess on the Pea

Once upon a time there was a prince, and he wanted to take for himself a princess too, only a real one. So he traveled all over the world, but something like that was not found. There were plenty of princesses, but were they real? He couldn't get to that; so he returned home with nothing and was very grieved - he really wanted to get a real princess.

Once in the evening the weather broke out: lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and rain poured as if from a bucket; horror what is!

Suddenly there was a knock at the city gates, and the old king went to open it.

A princess stood at the gate. My God, what did she look like! Water ran from her hair and dress straight into the toes of her shoes and out of her heels, but she still insisted that she was a real princess!

"Well, we will find out!" - thought the old queen, but did not say a word and went into the bedroom. There she removed all the mattresses and pillows from the bed and laid a pea on the boards; she put twenty mattresses on top of a pea, and twenty down jackets on top.

The princess was put on this bed for the night.

In the morning she was asked how she slept.

Ah, very bad! - said the princess. - I almost didn’t close my eyes! God knows what kind of bed I had! I was lying on something so hard that my whole body is now bruised! Just awful!

It was then that everyone saw that she was a real princess! She felt the pea through forty mattresses and down jackets - only a real princess could be such a delicate person.

And the prince married her. Now he knew that he was taking a real princess for himself! And the pea was given to the Cabinet of Curiosities; there it lies, if only no one stole it.
