We take you now to Kermit the Frog with another fast breaking news story!

Kermit

Hi ho, Kermit the Frog here, speaking to you from the palace of the Princess in that famous story of The Princess And The Pea. Now, as you know, the Princess in that story was so sensitive, that when a single pea -- like this one right here -- was placed in her bed, she couldn't sleep all night long, because she could feel it through a whole pile of mattresses. How about that. A single little pea like this one.  [ He eats the pea. ]  Mmm-mmm. Needs salt. Anyhow, behind me now is the door to the bedroom where the Princess has been tossing and turning all night long. And any minute... 

[ The guards play a fanfare. ]

Kermit

Oh, here comes the Princess now! 

[ The Princess enters, yawning. ]

Kermit

Ah, good morning, Princess! Kermit the Frog here, of Sesame Street News, can you tell me -- how did you sleep last night?

Princess

Ahhh... like a log!

Kermit

I see. Okay, folks, you heard it right here, she slept like a log... now, wait a second, how could you sleep like a log? What about the pea?

Princess

What pea? 

Kermit

The pea under your mattress. The pea, you're supposed to keep tossing and turning all night long! Didn't you feel the pea? 

Princess

... No.

Kermit

Well, aren't you the Princess from The Princess And The Pea?

Princess

Noooo, I'm the Princess from The Princess And The C, froggie! Here, I'll show ya!

[ She goes back into her bedroom. ]

Kermit

But... but... The Princess And The C?

[ The Princess brings him a big letter C. ]

Princess

Here it is!

Kermit

But... that is a C, all right, but I don't suppose you slept on that.

Princess

Well, sure... along with all the other stuff.

Kermit

The other stuff? What other stuff?

Princess

Vic! Tony! Bring out the bed.

Vic

Okay!

Tony

Okay.

Kermit

What... I don't believe this. Who booked the wrong Princess on this show? Who's the talent coordinator here?

[ Vic and Tony wheel out the Princess' bed, which is covered in things that begin with C. ]

Vic

Okay! Here we go.

Kermit

Uh, excuse me, Princess, you actually sleep on all of this?

Princess

Why, yeah. Each of these things starts with the letter C. It's kinda like my trademark. A cactus -- see? 

Kermit

A cactus, yeah...

Princess

A coconut...

Kermit

Mm hmm. Coconut.

Princess

A clarinet... and back there is a crocodile... and here's a clock. 

Kermit

Crocodile... and clock. But, uh, you actually sleep on the clock, but, uh, why?

Princess

Why?

Kermit

Mm hmm.

Princess

Hey, I'm a Princess! I gotta kingdom to take care of! I gotta deal with ogres, and giants, and witches! I gotta be TOUGH, froggie! And sleeping on this stuff MAKES me tough!

Kermit

Uh, yeah, well, I can see that.

Princess

Yeah, you oughta try it sometime.

Kermit

Uh, well...

Princess

Here, why don't you lie down on that coconut?

Kermit

Well, I'd love to, but I'm afraid we're all out of time.

Princess

Kermit

Uh, this is Kermit the Frog... wait, wait a second... What are you doing to me?

Princess

[ Vic and Tony grab Kermit, and force him to lie down on the bed. ]

Vic
