Prince Henrick desperately needs to find his princess to marry. Henrick has certain criteria for his princess: outdoorsy type that likes hockey and camping. His brother Hans gives him some advice in finding a true princess. According to Hans, a real princess is "very beautiful and very sensitive" just like his wife Eva. Henrick decides that he does not want to marry a princess like Eva but rather the complete opposite. Henrick finds one thin camping mattress, one old sleeping bag, and a whole packet of frozen peas. Henrick's friend Pippa came over one day, and together they enjoyed riding horses, playing hockey, and spying on Princess Eva as she complained. That night Henrick tried out his frozen peas. The next morning Pippa woke up, well rested, having used the frozen peas to ice her sore shin. Another great twist on a common story that kids can look for differences and similarities with the common story.
