Once upon a time, there was a fairy-tale princess who was very, very sensitive. She could feel a pea through her mattress, and it kept her awake at night. In the version of the tale that we saw, the princess was played by comedienne Carol Burnett, and you can imagine how sensitive she could be! Her attendants piled up mattresses on the princess's new bed until they were seven feet from the floor. Sitting on top of the pile, Carol screamed, "I can still feel the pea!"
