Once upon a time there was… - typical way to begin a fairy tale (not a true story)
	First paragraph tells us about the main character and the location.
	Maybe there is some background about things that happen before the real story starts.
	(Introduction of the character and the setting.)
		character = a person or animal in a story
		setting = the time and location of a story

One evening / One day / One summer / One afternoon / etc. - typical way to begin the action
	(Beginning of the plot.)
		plot = the events of a story
---
Suddenly / All of a sudden = to show that something happened quickly and with surprise
Later = after some time passed
After that / next / then = the next thing that happened (to show the sequence of events)
In the morning / The next morning
The next day/week/month/year - if I want to skip the time between
---
Now = in the final moment of the main action (not now 6/23/2015)
Finally = the last thing that happens in the plot

So the prince took her for his wife = conclusion of the whole story
“where it may still be seen” - connect the story to the present
“They lived happily ever after.” - typical way to finish a fairy tale (if it ends with something happy)
---
In your story, where could we add the sentence, “They lived happily ever after”?

     So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess. They lived happily ever after. The pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.

(after the prince and princess’s action, and before we talk about the present)
