I think everyone knows this story from when they were a kid however if you don't I'll explain. It's about a Prince that wants a real Princess for a wife so he searches the world for this Princess but can't find her. So here returns home to the King and Queen. Then there is a storm and somebody knocks at the door for shelter. This woman says she's a real Princess however the Queen gives her test without the Princess realising. The Queen puts a pea under 20 mattresses and 20 quilts and the Princess sleeps on it. If the Princess can feel the pea under all of this she is a real Princess. If you already know this story then you already know the ending however I won't spoil it for those who haven't.
The end of the story was a bit funny because it says that the pea was put into a museum and could still be seen now unless somebody had carried it off and that this was a true story. To me that made me laugh because it's so plain to see that the story is not real. Also, as a kid I always thought how the pea didn't get flattened by the 20 mattresses alone. Surly after around three it would have been flatted. I think I remember telling my friends this in Year 1 and they just looked at me like I had destroyed their house. Even as a kid I annoyed my friends with logic which I still do (sorryish to friends)
Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post.
