Are you good at sport? I’m not, but I love watching and playing all kinds of sport. My favourite sport is football – the kind with the round ball, not American football. I wasn’t very good at football when I was a kid. This did not stop me playing. I played in the park with my friends for hours every day. What is your national sport? Do you like it? I love Japan’s national sport sumo. It is one of the most exciting sports in the world. You have to spend a little time getting to know the rules and the fighters.

Transcript

Once upon a time there was a Prince who wanted to marry a Princess, but she would have to be a real Princess. He traveled all over the world to find one but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be, so he came home again and was sad for he would have liked very much to have a real princess.

One evening a terrible storm came on. There was thunder and lightning and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate and the old King went to open it. It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate but “good gracious!” what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look: the water ran down from her hair and clothes, it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels, and yet she said that she was a real princess. “Well, we'll soon find that out!”, thought the old Queen but she said nothing, went into the bedroom, took all the bedding off the bedstead and laid a pea on the bottom, then she took 20 mattresses and laid them on the pea and then 20 eiderdown beds on top of the mattresses. On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept. “Oh, very badly said she, “I have scarcely closed my eyes, all night, heaven only knows, what was in the bed but I was lying on something hard so that I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!”

Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right through the 20 mattresses and the 20 eiderdown beds. Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that.    So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess and the pea was put in the museum where it may still be seen if no one has stolen it there. That is a true story.
