The Fractured Princess and the Pea

Class bulletin board

Once upon a time there was a prince hen and he wanted a princess but she had to be a real princess. The king hen wanted a perfect princess, but it was so hard to find a real princess. The king and queen would know if the princess was real because they would put an egg under 55 nests and if she could feel the egg through the 55 nests and not break the egg, she would become his princess and they would be married.

One night a princess came and she needed a place to stay, so the king and queen invited her in. That night they gave her a bed and they put an egg under the 55 nests. In the morning, the king and queen asked how she had slept that night. The princess said, "Oh, terrible!" and the king and queen knew that she did not break the egg. On January 2, the princess and the prince hen got married and lived happily every after.

Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted a REAL princess. Every time a princess came to the castle, she would have to sleep on a tiny pea and 600 eiderdown beds. BUT every princess sqashed the pea.

Then one stormy night, a princess came to the castle. The prince himself opened the drawbrige, [by pressing a button.] He looked at the princess,and yet the princess said that she was a REAL princess. The prince knew she would squash the pea, so he had to do something about it. The prince went out of the castle, [without asking the king or the queen], went into an alley, and came back with a garbage can [with a skunk in it.] He put the garbage can under 600 eiderdown beds and said, ''This is not my day."

The REAL princess slept on the garbage can and the 600 eiderdown beds. In the morning, the princess woke with a terrible smell. The prince smelled the REAL princess. He said, "Phew you smell bad." Now the prince knew that the REAL princess was a REAL, REAL princess.

So the prince married the princess beginning at 12:00 in the morning. One hour later, a skunk came in. When she got to the front, EVERYBODY stared at her [since it was a girl] except the prince and the princess who were still kissing, and the skunk said, ''What?"

Once upon a stupid fairy tale there lived a king and a queen. They had a son and the son wanted a real princess to be his wife. One day he found a real princess. Then they got married. But the problem was that when they kissed, the prince turned into a toad. A real ugly one, too. The prince was really unhappy in his cottage. One day a witch came to the cottage and told the princess that to turn the prince back into his regular form, he had to eat a hundred flies. So he caught flies and caught some more and caught some more. Finally he had caught a hundred flies. He turned into his regular form and he was a prince again. And the prince and the princess lived happily ever after.

Once upon a time there was a prince and he was looking for a real princess. She had to be beautiful and most of all she had to feel a pea under 20 mattresses and 20 eiderdown beds.

NO NO NO NO that is not it at all it is The princess and the stinky piece of cheese. Now lets start the real story.

Once upon a time there lived a prince he could never ever find a real princess. Every time he tried it did not turn out like he wanted it to. The prince lived in a beautiful palace with his Dad the king. The prince was very lonely without a real princess.

He travelled all around the world but every time he tried he couldn't find one. He climbed up mountains he went to every single house he looked up stairs in every single house and he looked down stairs.

One day a princess came to the prince's door. They wanted to test her in case she was a real princess. They put 300 mattresses and one rotten old stinky piece of cheese on top of the 300 mattresses. She had to climb up a leader to get to the top.

The next day the king asked how she slept.

"Oh terribly bad! I am black and blue all over. It was kind of uncomfortable the beds smelled like a rotten piece of cheese."

So the prince took her for his wife.

Once upon a time there was a prince and he wanted a princess. The prince lived in a very lovely place with his dad the king. One day he what to a ball and met a pretty girl and then brought her home with him and gave her a test. He and the king would put a watermelon under 50 mattresses to see if she was a princess or just a girl. In the morning she was all red. The prince and the king couldn't believe there eyes. They thought that a real regular girl wouldn't be red, she would be regular colour. So it had to be a real princess because a real princess is very sensitive. In two weeks she got better and the prince and the princess got married on January 2 and they lived happily every after.

THE END
