Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper shows how “the grass is always greener on the other side”. In our comedic tale, Prince Edward Tudor lives a life of luxury with servants to grant his every wish while Tom Canty spends his days begging on the streets of London. When the two boys accidentally meet, a simple switch of clothing sets them on a path they'd never dreamt possible. The prince, mistaken for Tom, is forced to live a pauper's life, while Tom unwillingly takes on the life of a prince. Through this classic adventure story, we hope that the students will learn to help those less fortunate and find the king inside themselves.
