Poor little Tom walked to the gates. He looked into the palace
garden and watched the laughing prince. The prince looked like
Tom. Suddenly, the soldier put Tom onto the ground.
The young prince turned around and saw Tom on the ground.
He shouted, "Stop. Open the gates. The boy can come in."
Then the prince took Tom into the palace and asked his servant
to bring Tom some food. As Tom ate, the prince asked him
questions.
"What is your name, boy?"
"Tom Canty, sir."
"Where do you live?"
"In the city, sir."
And Tom told the prince everything. The prince listened in
surprise to his story. Then the prince told Tom about his life. Tom
also listened in surprise to the prince's story.
The boys then decided to exchange clothes. The prince wore
Tom's clothes and Tom wore the prince's clothes.
"Now I am the prince and you are a poor boy," said Tom to the
prince.
Then Edward saw a cut on Tom's hand.
"The soldier hurt you," cried Edward. "Wait here! I will
punish him."
Edward ran out of the palace. He forgot about his clothes. He
was wearing Tom's dirty old clothes. He ran to the gates and
shouted, "Open the gates!"
The soldier laughed at Edward. He threw him out of the gates
into the road.
He closed the gates behind Edward.
"I am Edward, the Prince! And I ask you to open the gates for
me!" Edward shouted. But the soldier laughed.
More and more people were laughing at the boy.
Prince Edward shouted and shouted, "I am the Prince!" But
nobody listened to him.
