Whatto! Peeps....
There was once a King living in a far away land, and he had a beautiful daughter, the Princess, and this sweet young girl had a sweet story which was later told about her. But there was a problem, any substance, no matter what, metal, wood, stone, you name it, everything the princess touched would instantly melt!
Because of this disorder, men were afraid of her.
And nobody would dare marry her.
The King despaired. What can I do to help my daughter? he pondered...
He consulted his wizards and magicians.
One wizard told the King, "I know the spell which she is under and if your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will then be cured forever!"
The King was overjoyed with this news and immediately announced a competition:
"Any man who can bring my daughter an object that would not melt, can marry her and inherit all my wealth!"
Three young princes soon took up the challenge.
The first brought a sword of the finest steel, which had been tempered by expert craftsmen in the biggest fiery forge in the kingdom for several long days and nights. But, alas, when the princess touched it, it melted. The prince went away sadly with his melted sword looking really quite pathetic.
The second prince brought diamonds. He thought "Diamonds are the hardest substance in the world and I have mined them from the hottest part of the known world - so they will not melt!" But, alas, once the princess touched them, they melted. He too was went away disappointed with a bowl full of melted diamonds.
The third prince approached cautiously. Then he spoke softly to the princess, "Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there."
The princess did as she was told, and moved towards the handsome young prince, sliding her hand into the pocket of his breeches, though she turned red with embarrassment. Inside she felt something hard! She held it in the palm of her hand. And it did not melt!!!
She was CURED!!!!!
The King was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. And the third prince married the princess and they both got married in a lavish ceremony and lived happily ever after.
I suppose you're wondering: "What was in the prince's breeches which did not melt?"
Well.....the answer is of course....
.....M&Ms, because they melt in your mouth, not in your hand!
Tallyho!
