Chapter 1: The Prince’s Search
Once upon a time, in a beautiful kingdom, there was a young prince. He was kind and brave, but he was also very lonely. The prince wanted to find a true princess to marry. His mother, the queen, told him many stories about princesses. She said, “A true princess is someone who feels things deeply and is gentle at heart.”
One stormy night, as the rain poured down and the wind howled, a knock came at the castle door. The guards opened the door and saw a young girl standing there. She looked tired and wet. “Please let me in!” she cried. “I am a princess!”
The guards were surprised but let her inside. They brought her to the warm castle hall where the prince and queen were waiting. The young girl had beautiful long hair and bright eyes, but she looked very cold and scared.
“Who are you?” asked the queen.
“I am a princess from a faraway land,” she said. “I was caught in the storm and had nowhere to go.”
The queen looked at her carefully. “How can we know you are a true princess?” she asked.
Chapter 2: The Test of the Pea
The queen thought for a moment. “I have an idea!” she said. She ordered her servants to bring twenty soft mattresses and twenty fluffy blankets. The young girl watched curiously.
The queen took a tiny green pea and placed it under the twenty mattresses. “If you are truly a princess, you will feel the pea even with all these mattresses on top,” she explained.
The young girl nodded bravely, but inside, she felt nervous. The servants made the bed high with all the mattresses and blankets. It looked like a mountain!
“Now, sleep here tonight,” said the queen. “In the morning, we will see if you felt the pea.”
The young girl climbed up to the top of the tall bed and snuggled under the warm blankets. She tried to sleep, but something felt strange. All night long, she tossed and turned.
In the morning, everyone gathered in the hall to hear what happened.
“Did you sleep well?” asked the prince.
“I did not sleep well at all,” said the young girl with a sigh. “I felt something hard under me.”
Chapter 3: A True Princess
The queen’s eyes widened in surprise. “You felt it? You felt the pea?”
“Yes,” said the young girl softly. “It was very uncomfortable.”
The prince smiled brightly at her. He turned to his mother and said, “This means she is a true princess! Only someone with royal blood could feel such a tiny thing under so many layers.”
The queen nodded in agreement, her heart filled with joy. “You are indeed a true princess,” she declared.
The young girl smiled shyly as everyone cheered around her.
From that day on, the prince and the young princess spent time together in the castle gardens, talking and laughing. They discovered they had many things in common—both loved nature and enjoyed reading stories.
As days turned into weeks, their friendship blossomed into love. One sunny afternoon, under a big oak tree, the prince took her hand and said, “Will you marry me?”
With tears of happiness in her eyes, she replied, “Yes! I would love to marry you!”
Soon after, they had a grand wedding in the castle filled with flowers and music. The queen was proud of her son for finding such a wonderful bride.
And so, they lived happily ever after in their beautiful kingdom, knowing that true love can be found even through storms and tiny peas.
The end.
