Hello, I'm Miriam.
Today's story is a fairy tale about a young woman whose identity is put to the test using just a little green pea.
Yep, this is the story of the Princess and the Pea.
Our story begins a long time ago.
There's a handsome prince who desperately wants to marry a princess.
He travels the world to find one and there are plenty available, but he loses sleep over how genuine they really are.
So there he is, back at home in his castle, feeling lonely and worried about the situation.
That night there's a big storm.
Thunder, lightning, torrential rain.
But the prince sleeps through it.
