About the fairy tale: On a dark night it knocks on the door, and out in the rain a princess seeks shelter. Yet is she a true princess? The queen tests her and does so by providing a bed with a huge tower of mattresses, and a tiny pea placed at the bottom. In the morning the princess wakes from a terrible night's sleep, proving she is a true princess.
