Well, you know just that I read sometimes old good fables. Not so much time ago we read the fable About Ugly Duckling. Today I want to tell you the fable about the princess that slept on the pea. The author is Hans Christian Andersen, as you know.
So, Once upon a time there was a Queen who had a beautiful baby daughter.

The bad fairy said: you will injure yourself with a spindle and die! A good fairy quickly chanted a magic spell to change the curse. When she hurt herself, the girl would fall into a very deep sleep instead of dying. (from Sleeping Beauty)

Many years later the sleeping princess woke up and wanted to find her prince, and made many many km-s at feet till she found a castle where lived a prince with his mother.
The old queen did not want to believe she is a real princess.

“Well, we’ll soon find that out,” thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.On this the princess had to lie all night.

In the morning she was asked how she had slept.
“Oh, very badly!” said she. “I have scarcely closed my eyes all night.

Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it. (from The Princess And The Pea)
