Nama : Binti Fitriyah NIM : B3211057 Prodi : TIP The Princess and the Pea

Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled 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 twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down 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 twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down 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.

The Gingerbread Man Once upon a time, an old woman and her husband lived alone in a little old house. The couple had no children, and being lonely, the woman decided to make a boy of gingerbread. She carefully mixed the batter, rolled out the dough, and cut out out a very nice gingerbread man. She added sugar icing for his hair, mouth, and clothes, and she used candy chips for buttons and eyes. What a fine looking gingerbread man he was! The old woman put him in the oven to bake. After he was fully done, she slowly opened the oven door. Up jumped the gingerbread man, and he ran out the door saying, "Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man!" The old woman and the old man ran after him, but they could not catch him.

And so the Gingerbread Man ran and ran. While he running, he met a cow. "Moo," said the cow. "You look very fine! Fine enough to eat!" And the cow started to chase to little man. But the Gingerbread Man ran faster, saying, "I ran away from an old woman, I ran away from an old man, And I can run away from you! I can!" And he laughed, "Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man!" The cow ran after the Gingerbread Man, but she could not catch him.

The Gingerbread Man kept running, and soon he met a horse. "Neigh," said the horse, "You look mighty tasty. I think that I would like to eat you." "But you can't!" said the Gingerbread Man.

"I ran away from an old woman, I ran away from an old man, I ran away from a cow, And I can run away from you! I can!" And so he ran singing, "Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man!" The horse ran after the Gingerbread Man, but he could not catch him.

The Gingerbread Man ran and ran, laughing and singing. While he ran, he met a chicken. "Cackle, cackle," said the chicken, "You look fine enough to peck for dinner. I'm going to eat you, Mr. Gingerbread Man." But the Gingerbread Man just laughed. "I ran away from an old woman, I ran away from an old man, I ran away from a cow, I ran away from a horse, And I can run away from you! I can!" And so he ran singing, "Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man!" The chicken ran after the Gingerbread Man, but she could not catch him.

The Gingerbread Man was proud that he could run so fast. "Nobody can catch me," he thought. So he kept on running until he met a fox. He just had to tell the fox how he ran faster than all the others.

"Mr. Fox," he said, "As tasty as I appear to be, I cannot let you catch and eat me. I ran away from an old woman, I ran away from an old man, I ran away from a cow, I ran away from a horse, I ran away from a chicken, And I can run away from you! I can!" But Mr. Fox did not seem to care. "Why would I want to bother you?" asked Mr. Fox. "You don't even look that tasty. No, young man, I don't want to eat you at all." The Gingerbread Man was so relieved. "Well, indeed, Mr. Fox," said the Gingerbread Man. "If you don't mind, I think I'll take a little rest here." And the Gingerbread Man stopped running and stood still. And right when he stood still. Snap! went Mr. Fox's jaws right into the Gingerbread Man until he was gone. "He was very tasty after all," thought the fox.
