Once upon a time, there was a prince. When he grew up, he wanted to marry a princess. But he wanted her to be a real princess. The prince went all over the world looking for a real princess whom he could marry. The prince met many princesses but there was always something the matter with them. One was too tall and one was too small. One was too sad, and another was too gay. Somehow or other, not one of the princesses was just right. The prince was never quite sure if they were real princesses. At last, the prince came home again. He was very sad because he did want to marry a real princess. Then, one night there was a terrible storm. the lightning flashed, the thunder roared, the wind blew and poured down. In the middle of the storm there was a knock on the door of the castle. The old King went to open the door. There, standing outside in the pouring rain, was a lovely lady. She might have been a princess, but she was so wet that it was difficult to tell. Her hair was so wet that the water from it was running down her face. Her clothes were so wet that the water was pouring out of them. Her shoes were so wet that the water was running in at the toes and out at the heels. The king led the princess into the castle, out of the wind and the rain. There she stood, in a pool of water, and al she could say was, 'I am a real princess.' The prince could not believe his ears when he heard her say, 'I am a real princess.' The old queen heard her say, I am a real princess.' 'We'll see about that,' thought the old Queen, but she did not say anything. While the princess was being bathed and dried and dressed in dry clothes, the queen went to see about a bedroom for her. The queen had all the bedclothes taken off the bed. Then she put a pea under the mattress. Then more mattresses were put on top, twenty mattresses on top of the pea. Then the queen had twenty feather beds piled on top of the twenty mattresses. 'Now we shall find ou if you are a realy princess,' said the queen to herself. When the princess was warmed and fed, the queen led her to the bedroom and tucked her into bed. In the morning, the old queen went to see the princess. ''How did you sleep, my dear?'' she asked her. ''Dreadfully,'' replied the princess. 'I hardly slept a wink all night!'' ''What was the matter'' asked the queen. ''I do not know what was in the bed,'' replied the princess, ''but there was something hard in it. Now I am black and blue all over.'' Then the queen knew that this was a real princess because she had felt the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. Only a real princess could be as tender as that. The prince was filled with joy when the old queen told him that they had indeed found a real princess. Now the queen had the pea taken out of the bed so that the poor princess could sleep well. A wedding was arraged between the prince and the real princess. Then there was a great joy in the castle.As for the pea, it was placed in a Museum It may still be seen there-- if no one has taken it away! Now this is a true story.

The Real Princess (The Princess and the Pea) by Hans Christian Andersen
When I was little, I asked my mom if she could put a pea under my mattress to see if I could feel it. She told me that I didn't have to, because she already knew that I was a real princess.
Miss Minchin: Don't tell me you still fancy yourself a princess? Child, look around you! Or better yet, look in the mirror. Sara Crewe: I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he? Quote from; A Little Princess
bEcauSe that prince is vain.
