Based on Hans Christian Andorkson's "The Princess and the Pea".
"The Princess and the Pea-Sized Brownie"
Once upon a time in a land moderately far away lived a handsome prince who was looking for a princess. Try as he might, he could not find a princess dainty enough to be his bride. But then, on a dark stormy night a young lemony maiden arrived, tired and disheveled but ridiculously beautiful. Prince Tim wanted to marry her at once but he wasn't sure that she was a real princess. So, he decided to put her to the test. That night he hid a pea-sized brownie under 10 mattresses and asked her to sleep upon them. The next morning she awoke and proclaimed she'd had the best night's sleep she had ever had! Prince Tim knew she could not be a real, dainty princess if the pea-sized brownie had not hurt her back, but when he saw that she had not eaten it, and instead had left it for him, he married her anyway. (The vows did include him always getting the corner pieces of any future brownie batches.)
~The end.~

Monsieur Bukteau. I only meant, I realized we had not talked in 10 months because you had been gone that long. Now, come out of the field and be a nice fellow and I MIGHT let you be my partner in the National Polka in a Cranberry Bog Championships.

This reminds me of my favorite childhood bedtime story "The Princess and the Cranberry"

I'm intrigued by the Cranberry Bog Championships
Is that anything like Dyngus Day? Dyngus Day Polka

Similar, yet completely different. These championships were born out of an ancient Polish family's need to quickly harvest their cranberry crops. Don't ask me which Polish family, I don't know. Probably some of those old people depicted in hieroglyphics on cave walls. They decided that the best way to quickly harvest their cranberries would be to polka their way through their fields and out of this was born a legendary world championship. I hope you'll be able to join me. Afterwards there will be a celebratory luncheon where I hear there will be Jello salads containing small bits of fruit.

That was what was the original Pole dancing.

These days I don't eat cranberries anymore, except at Thanksgiving because it's against the law not to. I find them bitter enough that I wouldn't touch them with a 10 ft pole. I started a new thread today if you'd like to come join us.

You can neutralize the bitterness by adding vodka.
I think that's from Martha Stewart
