从前有一位王子,他想娶一位公主,但她必须是一位真正的公主。他周游全世界寻找公主,但总是有什么不对劲。公主很多,但她们是不是真正的公主,他永远无法确定。于是他回到家里,非常伤心,因为他太想娶一位真正的公主了.
一天晚上,一场可怕的暴风雨来了。闪电闪耀,雷声轰鸣,倾盆大雨倾泻而下。突然,城门口传来了敲门声,老国王亲自去开门。外面站着一位公主,浑身湿透,衣衫褴褛。水从她的头发和衣服上流淌而下,但她仍然宣称自己是一位真正的公主。好吧,我们来试试看,老王后心想。但她什么也没说。她走进卧室,拿走所有的床单,在床架的最底下放了一颗绿豌豆。
然后她在豌豆上放了二十床床垫,在床垫上又放了二十床鸭绒被。公主必须在这张床上躺整整一夜。早上,有人问她睡得怎么样。'哦,太糟糕了!'公主说。'我整晚几乎没合眼。天知道床上有什么。我躺在什么硬东西上,现在全身都是乌青。真是太可怕了!'
现在他们可以看出她是一位真正的公主了,因为她能透过二十床垫和二十床鸭绒被感觉到那颗豌豆。除了真正的公主,没有人会这么敏感。于是王子娶她为妻,因为他知道自己终于找到了一位真正的公主。那颗豌豆被送进了皇家博物馆,如果没人拿走的话,现在还可以看到。这是一个真实的故事.

I love how this variant emphasizes the role of the magical helper. It's so different from the version I grew up with!
The ATU 510A classification really helps in seeing the structural similarities with Ye Xian. Fascinating stuff.
