Fairy tale based on Hans Christian Andersen

 

How do you recognize a princess? You put a pea under the mattress of her bed. If she feels the pea in her back as she sleeps, she is a princess.


But let's start the story in a kingdom where a young princess is to be married off. She refuses and flees. After weeks on the road, to make matters worse, she is caught in a violent storm and seeks refuge in a castle on the road.

In this castle lives a young prince with his father, the king and a steward. While the king indulges in fencing and wants to make his son into a martial general, the prince is more of a romantic. He wants to become a poet. As there is no wife in the house, the king urgently wants to marry off his son. However, the prince only wants a real princess,

real princess whom he loves with all his heart. None of the previous

suitors have been right for him.

Now a young girl knocks at the castle, she is in distress and wants

admission. The prince is immediately attracted to her and the young girl also

girl also likes the prince very much. She assures him that she is a princess

princess, but she is not believed and must first work as a

as a domestic help.

Then one night the test comes: the young woman sleeps in a chamber on a pile of old mattresses.

 

on a pile of old mattresses with a pea underneath. It hurts her back all night and she can't sleep. Now it's clear to everyone: this must be a princess!
