The Prince and the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen and EnviroWoman
Once upon a time in the magical kingdom of LaLaLand there lived a prince….Prince MyMcDreamy.
He had reached the age where it was time to grow up, say goodbye to the GirlsGoneWild and BarBimbettes, and find himself a wife….a real Princess.
So he traveled around the world searching for her. His quest took him from Alaska to Zanzibar and even to Match.com. But, in all his travels, he never found a TrueBluePrincess. Some came close, but none were ‘just right’. So finally, giving up all hope, he came home to LaLaLand empty handed.
The QueenMother was not pleased. Was her son going to be TheBachelor for life?
One day, between royal engagements, Prince MyMcDreamy took a walk in the kingdom’s marketplace, but found himself caught in a torrential downpour. It stormed. It thundered. It rained torrents. As it often did in LaLaLand. The road back to the palace was washed away.
Soaked to the royal jewels and stranded, Prince MyMcDreamy took refuge in a tiny shop called Bed.
