The Prince and the Pauper Chapter 1 Two Boys
2
Long long ago, two boys were born on the same day in the same city.
3
Tom Canty was born to a poor family who couldn't afford another child.
4
Prince Edward was born to a royal family who welcomed the new heir to the throne.
5
A dozen years later, both boys lived by the river.
6
While Edward lived in a magnificent palace, Tom lived in a shabby room in a poor neighborhood.
7
While Edward's father was King Henry, Tom's father was John Canty, a thief.
8
John often made Tom and his sister Nancy beg for money.
9
As Tom headed out to beg one January morning, he met Father Andrew.
10
The priest had taught him how to read and write, as well as some Latin.
11
But what Tom liked best were Father Andrew's tales of palaces and princes.
12
Do you have a story for me today, Father?
13
Tom asked. Of course.
14
The priest said as they walked together.
15
Once upon a time, there was a prince named Richard.
16
Because of Father Andrew's wonderful stories, Tom sometimes pretended to be a prince.
17
This amused his friends, but they also enjoyed his game, except when he made them the servants.
18
All too soon, Tom and Father Andrew arrived at the priest's church.
19
We'll finish Prince Richard's story later, Father Andrew said.
20
I can't wait!
21
Then Tom sighed.
22
It's time to ask strangers for money.
23
Tom hated begging, but his family needed the money.
24
Most people ignored him, so he was surprised when someone tapped his shoulder later that day.
25
What's this?
26
A prince begging?
27
Tom turned to find his best friend, Julian Witt, laughing.
28
You have mocked royalty and are sentenced to prison, Tom joked.
29
Then, in his regular voice, he added, I need a break.
30
Let's see if anybody wants to play by the river.
31
Julian turned pale.
32
The river?
33
Oh, sorry.
34
I forgot about what happened to you there.
35
We'll stay away from the water today.
36
The boys found their friends, and the afternoon passed quickly.
37
Prince Tom pardoned Julian, gave orders to his army, and met with his royal advisors.
38
Your Highness, the sun is setting, Julian said.
39
Oh no!
40
Tom gulped.
41
I have only one coin for my father.
42
For a moment, Tom thought about not going home, but he didn't want to miss supper.
43
Reluctantly, he said goodbye and headed home. Where have you been?
44
Tom's father yelled.
45
You'd better have lots of money.
46
People weren't in a generous mood.
47
Tom handed over his one coin.
48
A generous mood.
49
John Canty echoed Tom's words.
50
Where do you learn this stuff?
51
Probably from that priest.
52
That reminded Tom of something.
53
I wonder if Father Andrew has any books about Prince Richard.
54
He thought.
55
Maybe I could...
56
Are you listening?
57
John shouted.
58
I said go to bed.
59
Oh, don't send him to bed without supper, Tom's mother pleaded.
60
Meanwhile, Nancy tried to stay out of her father's way.
61
Don't interfere, John said to his wife. To bed, Tom, now.
62
Tom went to a corner and untangled some old blankets.
63
He made himself as comfortable as possible on the straw covering the wood floor.
64
But for a long time, his hunger and his parents arguing kept him awake.
65
He tried to distract himself.
66
How many princes has Father Andrew told me about?
67
Tom thought.
68
William, Richard, James.
69
Tom drifted off, thinking of a distant kingdom.
70
In his dream, he was surrounded by lords and ladies, beautiful music, and delicious food.
71
Everyone bowed to Prince Tom and obeyed his orders.
72
The next morning, Tom awoke in the same filthy room on Awful Street.
73
He was still hungry and still wearing his ragged clothes.
74
Tom sighed with disappointment.
75
I'll only be a prince in my dreams, he thought, slipping outside before anyone else woke up.
76
But maybe someday I'll meet a real one.
77
As Tom wandered along the river, he lost track of time and where he was.
78
After a while, he came upon a magnificent building.
79
Tom's eyes grew wide.
80
Could this be the king's palace?
81
He joined a few people waiting near a golden gate.
82
Suddenly, a boy and a man appeared in the courtyard beyond the gate.
83
Dressed in silk and velvet, the boy wore a sword at his hip.
84
Tom heard the man call the boy, Your Highness.
85
A prince!
86
Tom rushed forward for a better look.
87
Immediately, a guard grabbed Tom's hand and jerked him away.
88
Step back, you pauper!
89
The people laughed.
90
But the prince ran to the gate and scolded the guard.
91
How dare you treat a poor boy like that!
92
Open the gate at once and let him in!
93
The Prince and the Pauper Chapter 2 Tom Meets a Prince You look hungry and tired,
94
the prince said to Tom.
95
Come with me.
96
Tom was stunned by what was happening.
97
The prince led him through the palace until they came to the prince's room.
98
While the prince ordered breakfast for his guest, Tom looked around.
99
Imagine sleeping in that big bed instead of on the floor, Tom thought.
100
He has so many books and a suit of armor and...
101
What's your name and where do you live?
102
The prince interrupted Tom's thoughts.
103
I'm Tom Canty from Awful Street.
104
And who are you?
105
Prince Edward.
106
Prince Edward?
107
You mean King Henry's son and heir?
108
The prince nodded, and Tom quickly bowed.
109
I'm sorry to hear that the king is ill.
110
Everyone is talking about him.
111
I fear that my father may die soon.
112
Some people say he's cruel, but he has always treated me fairly.
113
The prince paused and smiled.
114
Though he does like to criticize me.
115
My father is mean to everyone, Tom said.
116
Just then, Tom's meal arrived and he dug in with both hands.
117
He has no table manners, Prince Edward thought.
118
And yet, you speak as though you've had some education, the prince said to Tom.
119
Yes, I can read and write, but I struggle with Latin.
120
Latin is hard at first, the prince said.
121
But enough about studying.
122
Is it pleasant to live on Awful Street?
123
Tom thought about the poor families who crowded together in every house.
124
Sometimes it is, but not when we're hungry.
125
He gobbled up some ham and eggs.
126
I hope that doesn't happen too often.
127
Do you have any friends?
128
What do you like to do?
129
Tom swallowed some bread.
130
My friends and I are always racing to see who's the fastest.
131
Oh, I'd like that, the prince said.
132
People say I'm a good runner, but I don't have anyone to compete against.
133
My only friends are my older sister, Princess Elizabeth, and my cousin, Lady Jane.
134
What else do you do with your friends?
135
In summer, we swim in the river.
136
We shout and splash each other with water.
137
Of course, that's after we've played in the mud and made mud pies.
138
I'm not allowed to get wet outdoors, the prince said sadly.
139
Then how do you get clean?
140
Tom asked.
141
I have many servants who help me bathe.
142
The prince sighed.
143
Your life sounds wonderful.
144
If I could run barefoot in the mud, I'd give up my right to be king.
145
Tom was horrified.
146
You can't do that, sir!
147
Besides, it's not all fun.
148
On New Year's Day, my best friend Julian fell into the river and almost drowned.
149
Luckily, a stranger saved him.
150
I'm sorry to hear about Julian, but I wish I could play with your friends.
151
And I wish I could be a prince, if only for one day.
152
Would you really like that?
153
The prince asked.
154
Tom nodded.
155
Prince Edward grinned.
156
Then let's do it!
157
We'll trade clothes for a while and then switch back before anyone finds out!
158
A few minutes later, the prince was wearing Tom's rags, and Tom was dressed in the prince's fine garments.
159
The two boys stood side by side in front of a large mirror.
160
They stared at each other, then at the mirror, then at each other again.
161
We look so much alike, Edward whispered.
162
Tom laughed nervously.
163
We do indeed, sir.
164
Except...
165
Edward frowned, peering at Tom's hand.
166
You have a bruise where that guard grabbed your hand.
167
It's nothing!
168
Tom hid his hand behind his back.
169
It was cruel!
170
The prince stamped his foot.
171
Now close your eyes.
172
I need to put away something important before I leave.
173
Tom didn't peek.
174
He imagined that Edward was hiding documents, or even jewels.
175
All done, Edward said.
176
Don't move until I return to this room.
177
That's a command.
178
Tom stood still while Edward rushed from the room and out to the courtyard.
179
Open this gate at once, Edward shouted to the guard.
180
The guard hurried to open the gate.
181
But as Edward passed by, the guard knocked him to the ground.
182
You wretched pauper!
183
Because of you I got a scolding from Prince Edward!
184
Edward's face flushed with anger as he picked himself up.
185
I'm Prince Edward.
186
When I return, you'll be locked up for hurting me and my friend.
187
The guard sneered and gave Edward a mock salute.
188
I salute your gracious highness.
189
Now get out of here!
190
A few people were still waiting outside the gate, hoping for a glimpse of royalty.
191
They laughed and shouted.
192
Make way for his royal highness!
193
They cried.
194
The Prince and the Pauper Chapter 3 Beyond the Palace Gate As Edward walked away from the palace,
195
people continued to laugh whenever he called himself a prince.
196
He continued to shout at them for not recognizing him as the heir to the throne.
197
At last, everyone got bored and ignored him.
198
By this time, Edward's feet were sore, so he stopped to bathe them in a creek.
199
Looking around, he recognized a nearby building.
200
His father had turned it into a home for poor, abandoned children.
201
My father has been generous to the children, Edward thought.
202
So I'll be treated kindly there.
203
He looked down at his ragged clothes, which belonged to Tom, and sighed.
204
Right now I'm as poor as the children who live there.
205
Edward spotted a group of boys playing in a courtyard they
206
were all dressed alike in the school's uniform the boys quickly
207
gathered around Edward who misinterpreted this as a sign of respect
208
good lads he said please tell whoever is in charge of this home that Prince Edward wishes to speak to him
209
A loud shout went up, and the boys laughed at this stranger in rags.
210
And who are you, beggar? asked one boy, who seemed to be their leader.
211
The prince's messenger!
212
I am the prince!
213
How dare you speak to me that way!
214
Edward was outraged because he was used to being obeyed, not insulted.
215
His hand flew to his hip, but he found nothing there. Did you see that?
216
Another boy asked.
217
He thought he had a sword just like a real prince.
218
The boys laughed again.
219
Edward stood up tall.
220
You should be grateful that my father, the king, provides you with food and clothing.
221
And you shouldn't be rude to me.
222
This made the boys laugh even louder.
223
You are correct, your royal highness, the first boy said.
224
Down on your knees, loyal subjects!
225
Snickering and poking each other, the boys dropped to their knees and bowed their heads.
226
Tired of being mocked, Edward kicked at the nearest boy.
227
Take that!
228
He cried as he missed.
229
The group's mood instantly changed to anger.
230
Throw him in the creek!
231
Someone called out.
232
For a moment, Edward was stunned.
233
These boys were going to toss him in the water.
234
Then he turned and ran as fast as he could.
235
He didn't dare look back until he was far away.
236
When he did, the boys were nowhere to be seen.
237
It's a good thing I'm a fast runner.
238
Edward smiled in spite of himself.
239
I could probably beat Tomcanti and his friends.
240
For the rest of the day, Edward wandered the streets, looking for Tom's house.
241
If I can find Awful Street, Tom's family will realize that I'm the prince, he thought.
242
And they'll immediately take me back to the palace!
243
But as night fell, Edward was still out on the streets.
244
He grew so tired and hungry that he could barely walk.
245
He gave up asking for directions because everyone insulted him instead of helping him.
246
After a while, he stopped being angry with the boys at the children's home.
247
Food and clothing are important, but they're not enough, he thought.
248
When I'm king, those boys will have an education too.
249
and hopefully they'll learn to be kind.
250
Edward pressed on as it began to rain and the wind picked up.
251
He drifted deeper into the maze of filthy streets where the poor lived.
252
Suddenly, a man grabbed Edward by the back of his neck.
253
Got you!
254
He cried.
255
Out at this time of night and I bet you don't have a penny to bring home.
256
If that's not true, then my name's not John Canty, and I'll...
257
John Canty?
258
Edward twisted around to see the man's face.
259
Are you really John Canty?
260
Then you must be his father.
261
Take me back to the palace immediately.
262
His father?
263
The palace?
264
I don't know what you're talking about.
265
But I do know that I'm your father, and you'll soon regret...
266
I can't stand this a minute longer!
267
Edward cried.
268
Take me back to my father, King Henry, and he'll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.
269
Believe me, I'm telling the truth.
270
I am Prince Edward, the heir to the throne.
271
I'm not Tom!
272
Confused, John stared at the boy.
273
I don't know what game you're playing, or if there's something wrong with your mind.
274
But you're going home with me to Awful Street.
275
He grabbed Edward again.
276
Help me!
277
Edward cried as people passed by.
278
But John was already dragging the frantic, struggling boy toward Awful Street.
279
A few curious onlookers followed them, but no one tried to help poor Edward.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
