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 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 hand, 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 will not melt.
But, also, 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 he was told, through she turned red. She felt something hard. She held 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???"
