But he has a dream: one day, he wants to meet a real-life prince.After dreaming about living in the lap of luxury, Tom makes his way to Westminster Palace one day. When he gets a little too close to the gate, a guard attacks him. Lucky for Tom, this attracts the attention of the prince, who rebukes the guard and lets our little pauper into the palace. It's his dream come true.Surprisingly enough, the two little boys hit it off. Turns out they both have pretty terrible fathers, so we guess that's something to bond over. Eventually Tom gets to tell the prince about his life, and the prince thinks this sounds amazing. You know what's coming next: they decide to swap lives, just for a little while.But right in the middle of all of this, the prince storms out, determined to discipline the guard who bruised Tom. What he wasn't expecting was to be mistaken for Tom and kicked out of the palace because no one could recognize him without his fancy clothes. Now he's just another poor person on the street.The prince tries to tell everyone he comes across what happened to him, but it doesn't work; everyone just thinks he's crazy. Meanwhile, Tom starts to get a little fidgety at the palace. The prince has been gone for a pretty long time, and Tom's worried about getting caught. He tries to turn himself in, but everyone just assumes that he's crazy, too. So the prince's dad, King Henry VIII, orders that no one talk about his son's mental illness. Looks like Tom is going to be the new Prince of England.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Prince and the Pauper is a novel by American author Mark Twain. It was first published in 1881 in Canada, before its 1882 publication in the United States. The novel represents Twain's first attempt at historical fiction. One moral lesson of the book is not to make initial snap judgments about people based on rudimentary, surface-level knowledge. The phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" is a good synopsis for this concept. Both Tom and Edward believe the other boy is a certain way and has certain advantages, but after they switch places, both boys realize their initial notions were incorrect. This kind of moral lesson shouldn't only be applied to socioeconomic status, either. It could be applied to religions, ethnicities, and political affiliations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMark Twain's first attempt at historical fiction, "The Prince and the Pauper", was first distributed in 1881. It is a story set in the hour of Prince Edward, of house Tudor, who at age nine would become King Edward VI. At the point when youthful Prince Edward meets a Pauper, Tom Canty, who prefers a ton like him, he persuades the two to switch garments with the goal that they can be confused with one another and wind up exchanging places. While they assume out their new jobs, Prince Edward learns of the battles of the everyday citizens of England while Tom finds what it resembles to be a Prince and afterward a King. Twain composed with respect to his novel that, "My idea is to afford a realizing sense of the exceeding severity of the laws of that day by inflicting some of their penalties upon the King himself and allowing him a chance to see the rest of them applied to others. . ." A magnificently comedic story, "The Prince and the Pauper" is at its heart a social critique on passing judgment on others basically by their appearance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTwo boys, one an urchin from London's filthy lanes, the other a prince born in a lavish palace, unwittingly trade identities. Thus a bedraggled "Prince of Poverty" discovers that his private dreams have all come true - while a pampered Prince of Wales finds himself tossed into a rough-and-tumble world of squalid beggars and villainous thieves. Originally written as a story for children, The Prince and the Pauper is a classic novel for adults as well through its stinging attack on the ageless human folly of attempting to measure true worth by outer appearances.
