The Princess and the Grain of Rice

This story is an Asian version of the classic “sensitive princess” tale (similar to The Princess and the Pea).

A prince wants to marry a “real” princess—but how can he be sure? 
So, a test is created: placing a tiny grain of rice under many mattresses.

 Only a truly delicate and sensitive princess will be able to feel it.

The story blends:

• Gentle humor
• A test of identity
• Asian cultural elements
