Princess and the Pea Narratives

The Princess and the Ball of Green Gum                                     By Ciara McLellan  

Once upon a time a lonely Prince had wanted a Princess for ages, but it had to be a real Princess. One day the Prince set off to find the perfect Princess to marry. But everywhere he looked he couldn’t find one. That night it was bad weather with pouring rain and thunder and lightning. Then there was a noisy ‘knock! Knock!’ on the door. “Please come, I need shelter” said the voice. Hurrying to the door, the King was hot “come here son” said the King, still running. When he finally reached the door the King saw that when he opened the door he saw a beautiful Princess standing at the door. “Come my dear. Lady, come!”

“Why are you in England my dear lady?” asked the King. You have travelled far in this storm! “Yes, indeed” exclaimed the Princess tiredly. “Could I stay the night?” Just then the Queen came and saw the Princess, “what a shame you are soaked from the tips of your hair to the tips of your toes” exclaimed the Queen. “You must stay dear. Now, your bed”. Then the Queen got up and walked towards a spare and empty bedroom.

The Queen then got her servants to take all of the sheets and duvets off the bed and then the Queen put a tiny-winy pea underneath. After that, the Queen got her servants to put twenty fat mattresses on top of the pea and then another twenty duvets on top of the twenty mattresses. A ladder was then placed alongside them. At the top, the servants put a pillow for the Princess to put her head on so it was very comfortable for her. “I’m ready for you to come and go to bed”.

When the Princess was in bed, the Queen said to her son “that Princess is hopefully a true one dear”. “I hope so too” said Prince William. Queen Elizabeth knew that her son wasn’t sure about Princess Charlotte being a true Princess. King Oboron could see that too, so they hoped for good luck.

In the morning, the King and Queen went to wake up the Prince so they could go and see the Princess. “Wake up son” said the King and Queen together, we need to go and see the Princess Charlotte.” Do I go with you, mum and dad?” asked Prince William. “Yes of course, anyway it is you who wants a real Princess!” declared the Queen. Together the group of three set off to the Princesses’’ bedroom.

When they got to Princess Charlotte’s bedroom, the Princess looked terribly tired. “How was your night-time sleep my dear?” asked the Queen. “Ter-ri-ble!, cried the Princess with her hand over her eyes. “My poor, poor little dear. Come downstairs and lets have breakfast” said the Queen. “Yes, please” exclaimed Princess Charlotte wearily.

In the end, it isn’t very hard to guess. Prince William got married to the real Princess, and, as for the pea, it was on display in the royal museum. And everyone lived happily ever after.

The Princess and the Gum Ball                      by Mia Harnetty

Once upon a time there was a loving but sad prince. The Prince searched and searched the whole world to find himself a real princess. One terrible, extremely stormy night there came a violent knock on the castle door. The King opened the door. “Help” cried the little voice, “Help”. It came again. “I’m a real princess!” came the little voice again. “Let her in” screamed the bossy Queen. So the King let the unknown girl in. “I’ll sort her bed” cried the maid. When the maid had made the Princesses bed and the Princess had got in the bed, “ohh, who put a gum ball on the astonishing ground?” squealed the Princess Charlotte. Queen Elizabeth ran in and shouted to Prince George to come. In the morning the King Charles, Queen Elizabeth and Prince George and Princess Charlotte sent invitations to every person they knew. On the 4^th of May the castle garden was beautiful because George and Charlotte were getting married. Don, don, don, don!!!! (Sound effects. Say quickly. Ed)

“George, will you take the Princess Charlotte to be your royal wife?” announced Harry the Announcer. “Yes” shouted the Prince George. So they got married.

The End.

(Ohh, and just saying, the gum ball was kept in the royal museum. The End – Mia J)

He went all over the world is his big huge limo.  Finally he reached England.  He hopped out of his limo and knocked on a door. The voice inside said, “Hello, who is it?”  “It’s Prince Charm, who are you?” “I am Princess Bubble Gum.” “Come with me my dear,” said the prince. “I shall take you to my castle in my huge limo.” So the prince took the girl back to his castle.  “Mother, mother, quickly make the bed,” said the prince.  First I must put a little bouncy ball at the bottom then layer 20 mattresses on top,” said the queen. She climbed the ladder to her bed.  She slept very well.  In the morning the queen asked how she slept.  She replied, “Very amazing!!” She was not a real princess.  Then another stormy night there was a violent knock on the door.  The bossy queen said, “Let her in.” She had dark, dark hair and a tall body.  “She’s great,” said the prince. “Go make the bed,” he said to the queen.  Now the queen put a little bouncy ball on the bed then 20 quilts and a pillow for her head to rest on. “The bed is ready,” yelled the queen.  “Ow, something is digging in real bad. I can’t sleep in this.  It is too painful,” said the girl.  In the morning the queen said, “How did you sleep?” The girl said, “Awful.”  The prince said to the queen, “She is a real princess.” So now the prince found a real princess.  They got married and the bouncy ball went in the middle of the museum.  That is the story of the Princess and the Bouncy Ball.

One day a there was horrible weather and there was lightning and storms and big heavy rain. There was a princess knocking on the castle door, the king and queen opened the door. The princess said, “I am a real princess, please let me in, because I have lost my way and I all soaked”. So the king and the queen opened the door and the queen said to the prince “you have to have your manners, okay. The prince said, “Yes” to the queen. When the queen said to the prince there was a girl outside the prince was shocked, you know that the girl was soaked, that the water dropped to her body, then it dropped to her feet and then to the ground. But the prince didn’t know if the girl was a real princess. Then the prince went to find his father “how would we find out if the girl is a real princess?”. The king said, “Ask your mother”. The prince went to find his mother and his mother said, “I have got an idea, I can put 12 mattresses and then put a little bit of pea”. So that night the princess couldn’t sleep. She rolled and rolled but she still couldn’t get to sleep. The next morning the queen said to the girl, “did you sleep well?” “No!!!” cried the girl. “I didn’t sleep well, there was something digging deep. It was so so so so hard that I didn’t get to close my eyes”. When they finished breakfast the queen told the prince that the girl felt the pea. The prince was shocked because only princesses can feel that thing. After that the prince and princess got married and their child’s name started with P. When their children get older their father will tell them that story. So the pea was at the museum if no one steels it.

The king said, “Son you have to find yourself a wife.”  So the prince went to a village to find some princesses.  There were big ones and small ones and ones with big noses too.  None were the right type for him so he went somewhere different.  He saw a castle.  He went knocking on the door.  It was just the king and queen.  The princess must have been on a walk.  The prince said “Oh I’m sorry I was just seeing who was there.”  So he went home sadly.  When he got home a big storm started.  He went to his room.  When he just got to his room someone came knocking on the door.  “Who is that?” said the queen.  “Help help.  I’m a princess.  Can you let me in please all I need is a place to stay.”  So the king opened the door.  The queen said “Come in my dear I’ll get your bed made.  I’ll put a pea at the bottom of the bed and I’ll pile some mattresses on top.  And I’ll pile those duvets high as they can be.  Come in and sleep well.  I’ll put the dryers on.”  So everyone went to sleep.  In the morning the princess went to the living room.  The queen said, “Did you sleep well my dear?”  “No I felt something digging down deep.” “So you are a real princess,”  “Yes of course,” said the princess.  So the prince got married to the princess.  And the pea got put on the top of the castle and that was the end of my fairy tale.

The Princess and the Pea

One upon a time there was a Prince and he was looking for a Princess to marry. He decided to hold a ball that very night. At the ball there were lots of Princesses but they weren’t the Prince’s type. The next day there was a storm from 1 o’clock in the morning to 5 o’clock in the afternoon. During the storm that afternoon a droopy girl came to the castle and ponded on the door. The Prince hurried to the castle door and opened it. The queen came with him. The girl looked like a Princess but the Prince could not be sure. The queen scurried to the bedroom where Princess Anna was going to sleep. She ripped the bedclothes off the bed. She was in a hurry because Princess Anna would be cold and the queen would have to make her bath after dinner. She put a little pea on the first mattress then put 20 other mattresses on top. After dinner the queen showed the Princess to her room. In the morning the queen asked the Princess anxiously how she slept. Anna said, “OK but there was a very painful lump in my bed!!” That was when the Prince knew that she was a real Princess. But not for long because she married the Prince.
