Day Thirteen

I am not exactly sure on what the message in the folktale is, but I think that it is not all princesses are fit for a king. The reason I would consider this too be the message they are trying too send is because the prince searches far and wide for the "real princess," but he can never seem to find her. Than one night when a princess appears at his door claiming she is a "real princess" they do not automatically believe her. The queen still tests her by placing the three peas under twenty mattresses, because she knows only a "real princess" can feel them. So when the princess feels the peas they are certain she is a "real princess." Not just any princess could have felt those three little peas under twenty mattresses.

Since my culture is Spanish the message didn't change much except for that the message is now going to be: Only a "real Spanish princess" is fit for a Spanish prince. This is because the culture is Spanish which means the characters will also be Spanish. That is why the queen chooses too place three red hot peppers under five sombreros, because these are familiar items to the Spanish culture. Also she knows that when you become a Spanish princess you have too know how too provide for you and your prince. It is not like a Dutch princess and prince were everything is handed down too you. So if you need to know how too cook you are going too have too know what hot red peppers are, right? Yes! So in the end a true Spanish princess choose the correct sombrero, married the prince, and they lived happily ever after!
