Reading Diary A: Hans Christian Andersen

The Princess and the Pea
A Prince needed a Princess. The Princess couldn't be just any princess she had to be a true Princess. He scoured the land in search of her until he gave up and returned home sad. When the Prince had lost all hope, a huge storm hit the castle. During the storm there was a knock on the castle door. The knock came from a real Princess. The poor girl was completely soaked from head to toe.

The Queen did not like the thought of the Princess being there. The Queen went to the bedroom and stuck a pea under the mattress. She put twenty more mattresses on top of that one. The Princess had slept terribly. She woke up covered in bruises from sleeping on something so hard.

It was that moment, that everyone knew she was a real Princess. Only Princesses would be sensitive enough to feel something so small though so many mattresses. The Prince married the Princess. They put the pea on display in a museum.
