Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, a prince sought to marry a true princess. Despite traveling across distant lands, he remained uncertain of the authenticity of the princesses he met.

One stormy night, as rain lashed the castle walls, a knock echoed through the hallways. The old king answered the door to find a young woman, drenched and shivering.

“I am a princess,” she declared, her voice trembling. “I’ve lost my way in the storm. May I seek shelter here?”

The queen welcomed her warmly but decided to test her claim. She placed a single pea beneath twenty mattresses and twenty eider-down beds in the guest room.

The next morning, when asked about her rest, the young woman lamented, “Oh, I barely slept! There was something hard beneath me, and now I’m bruised all over!”
