There was always something about them that was not as it should
be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have
a real princess. One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and
lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard
at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. It was a princess standing
out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what a sight the rain and
the wind had made her look.
The water ran down from her hair and
clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And
yet she said that she was a real princess. "Well, we'll soon find that out,"
thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all
the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty
mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of
the mattresses. On this the princess had to lie all night.
On this the
princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept.
"Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven
only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am
black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!" Now they knew that she was a
real princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses
and the twenty eider-down beds. Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive
as that.
