Subject: Once upon a time 

 Once upon a time there lived a wealthy king. The king had a
 beautiful daughter.  However, she was cursed because everything
 the girl touched, would melt.  No matter what, metal, wood,
 stone, etc. it would melt. Because of this, men were afraid of
 her and nobody would dare to marry her.
  
 One day a wizard told the king "If your daughter touches one thing
 that does not melt in her hands, her curse will be cured." The king
 was overjoyed. 
 
 The next day, he announced a competition. Any man who could bring
 his daughter an object that did not melt, would be given her hand
 in marriage and would inherit the king's  wealth. Three young
 princes took up the challenge.
 
 The first prince brought a huge diamond, thinking that since the
 diamond is the hardest of all substances known to man, surely it
 will not melt. But alas...as soon as the Princess touched it,
 it melted. The prince sadly went away.
 
 The second prince brought a very hard metal alloy, but the same
 thing happened...so he too went away.
 
 The third prince told the princess, "Put your hand in my pocket
 and feel it" 
 The princess did as told, blushing quite profusely as she thrust
 her hand deep into his pocket. She grasped what she felt tightly
 and lo' and behold,  it remained hard and did not melt. 
 
 The king was overjoyed!!  And so the third prince and the princess
 were married and lived happily ever after.
