👑🌱 The Princess and the Pea

📜 Script

NARRATOR:
Once upon a time, a prince wanted to marry a real princess.
He met many girls, but something was always not right.

NARRATOR:
One stormy night, knock knock!
A girl stood at the castle door.
She was wet, cold, and muddy.

👧 PRINCESS (shivering):
“I’m a real princess… may I stay here tonight?”

NARRATOR:
The queen looked at the girl.
She said nothing, but had a plan.

She went to the guest room.

NARRATOR:
She placed one tiny pea on the bed…
then she stacked 20 mattresses on top!

The girl climbed up and went to sleep.

NARRATOR:
In the morning, the queen asked:

👵 QUEEN:
“How did you sleep, dear?”

👧 PRINCESS:
“Not well! Something hard was under me.
I couldn’t sleep at all!”

NARRATOR:
The queen smiled.
Only a real princess would feel a tiny pea!

NARRATOR (ending):
So the prince married her.

And the pea?
It was saved in a glass box—just in case!

Even the smallest things…
can show who we truly are.

THE END.
