An adaptation of The Princess and the pea by Hans Christian Andersen Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a real princess. He travelled around the world to find one. There were plenty of girls who said they were princesses, but there was always something which was not quite right about them. Finally he came home, sadly without a princess. Then one evening there was a terrible storm with rain, thunder and lightning. Suddenly, in the middle of the storm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old King went to open it. It was a young girl. She stood miserably at the door while the water was running down her hair and her clothes and into her shoes but she said that she was a real princess.
