Answer:
according to me this is the answer
Explanation:
One day, while out walking, Tom gets in trouble with a Westminster Palace guard for getting too close to the palace gate. Looking on, Edward sees the confrontation and welcomes Tom inside.
The two boys start getting to know each other, talking about their families and the type of life they've been exposed to. The prince, always under the scrutiny of both his family and the public, thinks that an ordinary life sounds grand. And, of course, Tom's already been dreaming of living a lavish and princely lifestyle. The two hatch a plan to pull a switcheroo on their families.
They swap clothes to get an initial taste of life in the other boy's shoes when the prince notices a bruise on the pauper's body from his tussle with the guard. Forgetting he's wearing Tom's clothes, the prince rushes out to confront the guard.
The guard, believing the prince to be the beggar boy, kicks him out of the palace immediately. Now the prince is on the streets and the pauper is safely inside the castle walls.
The prince tries everything to convince the people he sees that he's truly the prince and not a poor Londoner. You can probably guess that most people laughed at him and thought he was crazy. Eventually, he is found by the pauper's father and dragged 'home' where he endures a beating for collecting no money that day and 'lying' about being the prince.
Tom, on the other hand, is at the palace having struggles of his own. He doesn't understand any of the rules about being a prince, cannot speak properly, and finally, attempts to turn himself in as an impostor. For that, he is laughed at and deemed crazy, a fact that no one is to speak of, according to the king.
