Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess. Her name was Princess Vanilla. Unfortunately everything the princess touched would melt. No matter what it was; metal,
wood, stone it didn't matter, everything she touched would melt in her hand. Because of this all the men in the kingdom were afraid of her and nobody would dare ask for her hand in marriage.
Her father, the king despaired, what could he do to help his daughter?
He consulted all the wizards and magicians in the land nothing seemed to work then one day an old wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that doesn't melt in her hands, she will be cured, you just have to find out what it is."
The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan, he would set a challenge that any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands could marry her and inherit the king's wealth.
Not long after three young princes took up the challenge and the competition began. The first prince brought a sword of the finest steel, but alas, once the princess touched it, it melted.
The prince went away, sadly the Princess Vanilla was not going to be his bride.
The second prince brought diamonds. He thought diamonds are the hardest substance
in the world and surely they wouldn't melt.
But alas, once the princess touched them, they apeared like ice cubes and melted away to nothing. He too was sent away disappointed.
It was time for the third prince to come forward to meet the princess. He was very handsome and the princess was hoping that whatever he had wouldn't melt away.
He whispered into the princesses ear.
"Put your hand in my pocket and feel what it is that is in there?"
Blushing, the princess frowned but she did as she was told and gently put her hand into the young princes pocket. 
She felt something hard so she caught hold of it and held it in her hand.
"It didn't melt!!! Daddy it didn't melt!!" she shouted and taking her hand out of the young man's pocket she grabbed him around the neck and kissed him.
They instantly fell in love, the king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. In fact there was much happiness to be had all over the Kingdom. They were soon married and they both lived happily ever after................
.......................... Oh gosh I've just remembered, did I tell you what it was that the young Prince had in his pocket? ....I didn't then you'd better follow me.
