The Princess and the Pea

The Prince wants to get married, but he wants to marry a real princess.
One stormy evening, a girl comes to the castle, covered with mud and dripping with rain.
To find out if she is really a princess, the Queen is developing a trick: she will hide under the bed of the Princess a pea. Only a real princess will be delicate enough to feel it!
