The Princess Who Melted Everything

Once there was a King who had a beautiful daughter, but there was a problem.

Everything she touched would melt. No matter what—metal, wood, plastic—it all turned into a puddle the moment she laid her delicate hands on it. Because of this, men from far and wide refused to marry her. After all, who would want to wake up one morning and find themselves reduced to a gooey mess just from a good morning hug?

"Young man!" the King bellowed, "You have done what no one else could! You shall marry my daughter and inherit half my kingdom! But tell me—how did you know this would work? What is this miraculous object?"

The young man smiled and replied,
