The Princess on the Pea    Hans Christian Andersen

She said she was a real princess.

'Well, we will find out about that!' thought the old queen, but she didn't say anything. She went into the bedroom, took off all the sheets and blankets, and placed a pea on the bed-spring. Then she laid twenty mattresses on top of the pea, and on the mattresses she placed twenty down comforters.

The princess was to sleep there for the night.
