There was a princess standing outside, but what a sight the rain and the bad
weather had made of her! The water streamed down her hair and her
clothes, and yet she said she was a real princess. “It won’t take long to find
that out,” thought the old Queen. Without saying anything, she went into
bed chamber, took off all the bedclothes, and places one pea on the bottom
boards of the bed. Then she took twenty mattresses and put them on top of
the pea, and after that she put twenty feather-pillows on top of the
mattresses. That was where the princess was to spend the night.

In the morning they asked her how she had slept. “Oh, dreadfully! said the
princess. “I hardly slept a wink all night. Whatever could have been in the
bed ? I was lying on something so hard that I’m black and blue all over.”
So of course they could see that she was a real princess, since she had felt
