Once there was a prince who was looking for a princess. But she must be a

real princess. The prince went right round the world, and although I found several once upon a time the beautiful princesses, there was always something not quite right about them. In the end he came home, very disappointed.One night, there was the most terrible storm. It thundered, it lightninged and the rain poured down in sheets. The king and queen and prince sat round the fire toasting crumpets. Suddenly there was a ringing of the bell at the palace gates. Putting on his mackintosh, the king went to see who could be outside on such a dreadful night. When I opened the gates to princess was standing there. But what a sight she was! Water streamed off the ends of her long hair, ran down her clothes and into her shoes.

- "You'd better come in," said the king, leading the princess into the palace where she stood, dripping, and not looking at all like a princess.

- "Yes, I am a princess," she assured them.
The old queen was doubtful. "We'll soon see about that," she said to herself. And she went to prepare the spare bed for their young visitor.
First she took off the bedding and then she laid a pea at the very bottom. On top of the pea she put
twenty mattressesand on top of the mattresses she put twenty feather beds.Stories to learn English

The next morning the princess was asked how she slept.

- "I hardly slept to wink all night," she said. "The bed was desperately uncomfortable, there was something hard at the bottom of it and I'm sure I was bruised all over."

Now they knew she was a real princess. For no one but a princess would be able to feel to pea through
twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds! The prince was thrilled to bits for he had already fallen in love with her. And they decided to be married.As for the pea, well it was put into a museum where it may still be seen if not one has stolen it.
