There was once1 a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she was 2 to be a real3 princess. So i he travelled about, all through the world, 138 to find a real one, but everywhere there was something in8 the way. There were6 princesses enough, but whether7 they 8 were real princesses he could not quite make out: there was always something that did not seem quite right. 139 So9 he came10 home again, and was quite sad: for he wished so much 140 to have a real princess. One evening u a terrible storm came on. It lightened and thundered; the rain streamed down; it was quite fearful! Then there was a knocking12 at the town gate, and the old king went out to open it. It was a princess who stood outside13 the gate. But, mercy!14 how she looked, from the rain and the rough weather! The water ran down from15 her hair and her clothes; it ran in16 at17 the points of her shoes, and out18 at19 the heels; and yet she declared that she was a real princess. "Yes, we will soon find that out," thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-chamber, took all the beddingx off, and put2 a pea on the flooring of the bedstead; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them upon the pea and then twentyeider-down beds upon the mattresses. On this3 the princess had 4 to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept. 1 - war einmat; ein'mot = once (definite time); einmal' = once (indefinite time).
