This story is about two boys, that look very much the same. One boy is very poor and the other one is the future king of England. Certain day they met each other and the prince made agreement with the poor. He wanted to know the city through his own eyes, so they changed the clothes. The prince was dressed like the poor boy so everyone thought he was really the other boy. While he was going around the streets of England several things happened to him, mostly bad things. The other boy father (John Canty) started to hurt him, he beat him hard, and an old man tried to stop him but Canty had a big stick and hit the old man and killed him. Canty runned away with the poor boy that he thaught he was His son. Edward asked for helped and tried to explain him that he wasn`t His son, he tried to explain that he changed places with His true son, and that he was the prince of England. Canty didnt believe him, and shouted but fortunetly a man named Miles Hendon listened and believed him so he decided to help him. First he saved him from the bad father (Canty), and then helped him to go back to the castle to trade places again with the poor boy. During this adventure the poor boy was very worried because everyone thaught in the castle that he was the prince, but the boy didnt know several things and didn`t know how to speak like a prince, so everybody thaught he was foolish. At the end of the story they met at the castle with the help of Miles, and everyone understood that the two boys were very similar. The prince became king, and helped Miles and the poor boy to live well and happily.
