The Princess and the Pea: a short tale of cunning and tenderness
The great Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen left a huge number of brilliant fairy tales as a legacy to humanity. The author himself did not like being called a children's storyteller. Because, as Hans claimed, he wrote smart stories for adults. His fairy tales contain a meaning that parents must first understand, and then convey the words of the great writer to the new younger generation.
Note to readers!
G. H. Andersen was the most popular foreign writer in the USSR. Over the 70 years between 1918 and 1988, more than 500 editions of the great storyteller were published with a total circulation of 100,000,000 copies.
Descendants must say a huge thank you to the Russian translator of Scandinavian writers Anna Vasilievna Ganzen. She did a titanic job, translated it into Russian and conveyed the meaning of these brilliant fairy tales to Russian-speaking readers. Many years have passed, and now any child or adult will be able to get acquainted with the work of the good storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.

About the plot of the short fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea”
How does a storyteller come up with the plot of a new magical story? Very simple! He looks at some object or observes a natural phenomenon, and his imagination begins to work and create new images in his imagination. For example, when Andersen found a piece of tin in the ashes, he immediately imagined a one-legged tin soldier. Only a true genius’s imagination gives birth to extraordinarily beautiful fairy-tale stories!
How did the princess and the pea appear? Most likely, the writer saw an unhappy, wet girl on the street and thought that she might be a princess. And then he came up with a lonely prince who spent his whole life looking for his true soul mate.
Then the writer drew in his imagination a castle where the wet princess knocked. And what did the cunning queen do? She decided to give the girl a test. The prince's caring mother placed one dry pea under 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds. And the princess couldn’t sleep all night because something was bothering her!
Is it true? Hard to tell!
Maybe the queen, in order to marry her son, decided to use a little trick? Most likely, she hinted to the princess about the hidden pea. In order for the newlyweds to find happiness, did the queen fool everyone around her finger? Anything is possible, we don’t know the answers, and we invite the children to figure out the plot of a simple short fairy tale themselves.
Once upon a time there was a prince, he wanted to marry a princess, but only a real princess. So he traveled all over the world, looking for one, but everywhere there was something wrong; There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real, he could not fully recognize, there was always something wrong with them. So he returned home and was very sad: he really wanted a real princess.
One evening a terrible storm broke out; Lightning flashed, thunder roared, rain poured down like buckets, what a horror! And suddenly there was a knock on the city gates, and the old king went to open it.
The princess stood at the gate. My God, who did she look like in the rain and bad weather! The water dripped from her hair and dress, flowed right into the toes of her shoes and flowed out of her heels, and she said that she was a real princess.
“Well, we’ll find out!” - thought the old queen, but didn’t say anything, but went to the bedchamber, took off all the mattresses and pillows from the bed and put a pea on the boards, and then took twenty mattresses and put them on the pea, and on the mattresses another twenty feather beds made of eider down.
It was on this bed that the princess lay down for the night.
In the morning they asked her how she slept.
Oh, terribly bad! - answered the princess. - I didn’t sleep a wink all night. God knows what was in my bed! I was lying on something hard and now I have bruises all over my body! This is just terrible!
Then everyone realized that this was a real princess. Of course, she felt a pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds made of eider down! Only a real princess can be so tender.
The prince took her as his wife, because now he knew that he was marrying a real princess, and the pea ended up in the cabinet of curiosities, where it can be seen to this day, unless someone stole it.
Know that this is a true story!
