tale of the princess in the pea - Hans of Christian Anders.

online

Hans Christian Andersen

The Princess and the Pea is a fairy tale by H. H. Andersen, familiar to almost every girl on the planet. The tale tells how the princess was on her way during a bad weather, and she had to ask the royal family for the night. A noble family let the girl in for the night, but she was so wet, and her clothes did not at all resemble those of a princess. The queen knew how to check whether the real royal daughter was in front of them, because her son was looking for a bride. A small pea helped the queen in this. The tale teaches that the first impression can be deceptive, and happiness often knocks on the door itself. nine0003

Reading time: 2 min.

Once upon a time there was a prince, he wanted to marry a princess, but only a real princess. So he traveled all over the world, looking for one, but there was something wrong everywhere: there were a lot of princesses, but whether they were real, he could not fully recognize this, there was always something wrong with them. So he returned home and was very sad: he really wanted a real princess.

One evening a terrible storm broke out; lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, the rain poured like buckets, what a horror! And suddenly there was a knock at the city gates, and the old king went to open the door. nine0003

The princess was at the gate. My God, what did she look like from the rain and bad weather! Water dripped from her hair and dress, dripped right into the toes of her shoes and flowed out of her heels, and she said that she was a real princess.

"Well, we'll find out!" thought the old queen, but she said nothing, but went into the bedchamber, removed all the mattresses and pillows from the bed, and laid a pea on the boards, and then took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and on the mattresses twenty more eiderdown duvets. nine0003

The princess was put to sleep on this bed.

In the morning she was asked how she slept.

— Oh, terribly bad! the princess replied.
