 Guess who it might be
He was a scruffy-looking overweight man of
average height wearing a beard and moustache. He
seemed to be in his late forties, but it was difficult to say
because he was always drunk. He had dirty dark
shoulder length hair and bushy eyebrows. He was
always wearing untidy worn out clothes and an old
green velvet pirate hat. He looked unpleasant and rude.
He had 3 children and a wife, but he didn’t care
much for them. He was a thief and his mother was a
begger.

 He spent his early years in a very old and dirty house. He
wore dirty clothes and his face and hands were always dirty
too. He had to be beggar and lived among the beggars and
thieves. He had a good friend who was neither a thief nor a
beggar. This friend told him many wonderful stories and
legends about kings and princes. He read lots of different
books. And by and by the stories he heard and the books he
read made some changes in his speech and his manners. He
could explain to his family things that they did not understand
because he really knew so much. Soon he organized a royal
court! When the children played and he always was a prince
there, his comrades were lords and ladies and the royal family.
 At night when he lay in the dark on his dirty rags he
thought about kings and princes who were clean and well
dressed. He wanted to be clean and well-dressed too.
Sometimes he imagined himself a prince who lived in a
beautiful palace and had a wonderful life.
