One evening there was a terrible thunderstorm. Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed, and the rain poured down like a bucket!

And so, in the midst of a terrible bad weather, there was a knock at the door of the castle.

The door was opened by the old King himself. On the threshold stood a young girl, soaked and trembling. Water flowed over her long hair and dress flowed out of her shoes in streams ... And yet ... the girl claimed that she was the most real Princess!

"We'll see soon, my dear," thought the old Queen.

She hurried into the bedroom and placed the pea on the boards of the bed with her own hand. Then she laid on top, one after another, as many as twenty featherbeds, and then - as many more blankets on the most delicate swan down. It was on this bed that the girl was laid.

And the next morning she was asked how she slept.

Oh, I had a terrible night! - answered the girl. I didn't close my eyes for a minute! God only knows what was in that bed! It seemed to me that I was lying on something very hard, and in the morning my whole body was bruised!

Now everyone is convinced that the girl is a real Princess. After all, only a real Princess can feel a tiny pea through twenty duvets and as many duvets! Yes, only the real Princess can be so sensitive!

The Prince immediately married the Princess, and the pea is kept in the royal museum to this day.

You can go and see for yourself - unless someone stole it ...
