Here's a silly little riddle for you to figure out, and let's say this is a modern day princess:
There once was a king with a beautiful daughter who would inherit his kingdom once he died. The king, however, felt that she should get married so she would have a king to rule the kingdom with. There was one problem. Whatever the princess touched would melt. So the king had a contest. Whoever could find something that wouldnt melt when his daughter touched it, would not only get to marry his daughter and rule the kingdom, but would also get 1 million dollars. Three men showed up. The first men had taken a diamond with him figuring it was so strong it couldnt melt. But as soon as the princess touched it, it melted. The second man had taken granite, an extremely strong rock which he thought would never melt. But as soon as the princess touched it, it melted. Then the third man came to the king and his daughter. He came empty-handed and the king and princess were rather surprised. He told them that he had something which was guaranteed not to melt in her hands but to touch it, she had to reach into his trouser pocket. Slowly she moved her hand in, and a miracle happened. It didn't melt. Now what was this thing in the man's trouser pocket........?

I would define it more as a joke, not so much as a riddle.

I'd have tried water myself (it won't melt because it's allready molten), but I don't think many people would keep it in a trouser pocket.
Anyway, one would suppose she also touches the clothes she would wear, and if anything she touches melt, she thus couldn't wear anything. But it doesn't stop there, because if she's not wearing anything, than she's touching the ground. It will melt, she sinks to the center of the earth, and since it's kinda hot there she die rather quickly.
Well, at least she's hot :p

Maryl, are you suggesting that she puts her hand in his pocket finds something there and rather than melting the opposite occurs? 
Anyway, the guy has M&Ms in his pocket. They melt in your mouth, not your hand.
