A fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen / illustrations by Petra Steinmeyer
The story tells of a prince who wants to marry a princess but is having difficulty finding a suitable wife. Something is always wrong with those he meets and he cannot be certain they are real princesses because they are not his type.

A moral is the lesson that a story teaches you. The Princess and the Pea is a fairytale that warns the reader about the dangers of jumping to conclusions without all the facts. This is shown through the illustration of the old queen who does not believe the sopping wet girl at the gate could be a princess.
