The prince and the pauper
A boy was born on an autumm afternoon to a poverty-stricken Canty family. With the state of London's sixteenth-century economy staring them in the face, the family did not want the child.
On the same day another English lad was born into the rich and royal Tudor family. These parents savored their baby - infact all of England had longed, hoped and prayed for this son. Now that he had arrived the, British subjects were overjoyed; young Edward Tudor, Prince of Wales was revered by all - in stark contrast to Tom Cantry's birth, of which no one took note excepting his family, who was only troubled by his arrival.
Tom Cantry grew up in Offal Court. He lived a wrentched life, and indeed, knew no other. Every morning Tom was sent off to beg. If he came home emty-handed, his father and his grandmother would soundly beat him. So, often, when the afternoon rolled around and the boy reckoned that he had begged enough to avoid a beating, he would race to Father Andrew's monestary for the remainder of the day. Over the months, good Father taught Tom how to read, gave him some intruction in Latin, and recited wondrous tales of royalty. And because of his education, intelligence and grace, Tom seemed far wiser than others his age. Peoplke would frequently come seeking his advice, despite his low station.

"When I am king, they shall not have bread and shelter only, but also teachings out of books; for a full belly is little worth where the mind is starved . . . "
"Kings cannot ennoble thee, thou good, great soul, for One who is higher than kings hath done that for thee; but a king can confirm thy nobility to men."
