The Melting Princess
Once
upon a time... There lived a king. The King had a beautiful
daughter, the Princess.
But the kingdom was a sad place. There was no laughter,
and no joy. The problem was, that everything the Princess touched
would melt. No matter what, metal, wood... anything she touched
would melt!!
Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would
dare marry her. The king despaired. What could he do to help his
beautiful daughter? He consulted his wizards and magicians.
One wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that
does not melt in her hands, she will be cured."
The King was overjoyed. The next day, he held a
competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that
would not melt at her touch, would marry her and inherit the
King's wealth. Three young princes took up the challenge.
The first Prince brought a very hard alloy of titanium.
When the Princess touched it, it melted. The Prince went away
sadly. The second Prince brought a huge diamond, thinking that
diamond is the hardest substance in the world and willnot melt.
But, alas, once the Princess touched it, it melted. He
too went away disappointed. The third Prince approached. He told
the Princess, "Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there."
The Princess did as she was told, though she turned red.
She felt something hard. She held it in her hand...and
it did not melt!! The King was overjoyed! Everybody in the kingdom
was overjoyed!
And the third Prince married the Princess and the both
lived happily ever after.
The question is?!?!?!?
What
WAS the object in the Prince's pocket??? v v v v v

They
were M&M's, of course. THEY melt in your
MOUTH, NOT in your HAND!!
