Read the text and answer the questions no. 3 – 5.

Once upon a time there was a Prince. And this Prince’s dad and mum somehow got it into their royal heads that no
princess would be good enough for their boy unless she could feel a pea trough one hundred mattresses .
So it should come no surprise that the Prince had a very hard time finding a Princess. Every time he met a nice girl,
his mum and dad would pile one hundred mattresses on top of a pea and then invite her to sleep over.
When the Princess came down for breakfast, the queen would ask, “How did you sleep dear?”.
The Princess would politely say, “Fine, thank you.”
And the King would show her to the door.
Now this went for three years. And of course nobody ever felt the pea under on hundred mattresses .Then the
Prince set up a plan. He invited a Princess to sleep over in the palace. The Prince told her what must she said in the
next morning.
When the Princess came down for breakfast the next morning, the Queen asked, “ How did you sleep, dear?”.
“This might sound odd” said the Princess. “But I think you need another mattress. I felt like I was sleeping on a
lump as big as bowling ball.”
The King and Queen were satisfied, and the Prince and The Princess were married. And everyone lived happily,
though maybe not completely honestly, ever after.
