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, plastic, 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 will not 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 they both lived
happily ever after.
The question is...
What WAS the object in the Prince's pocket?!?!

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