If you use it, just tell me you did... Either here, a note, or on my page.



The Princess + the Pea
Once upon a time there was a king whose only son was very eager to get married, and he asked his father for a wife. He told him that he could have one, but it had to be a princess, and there weren't any where they lived. They issued a proclamtion, and many laides came. They never turned out to be princesses though. But late one night, a woman came up to the castle swearing that once she heard the proclamation, she fell in love with their son, and came right away. They doubted that she was a princess, so the queen said she would put her to a test. She made her a bed and placed 3 peas on the mattress. One on top, one in the middle, and one on the bottom. Then, she placed six mattresses on top of it. When the queen asked the girl how she slept the next day, the girl said it was horrible. She felt like she was sleeping on a bunch of peas all night. The prince and the girl were married that day.
