The Prince and the Pauper, by Mark Twain, teaches you to be happy with what you have. On one August day in the 1500s, two people were born. One was the prince of wales (Edward Tudor), and the other was Tom Canty, a London beggar. Their only similarities were that they looked the same and had the same voice. Years later, chance made them meet up. Edward wanted to have the free life of a pauper, and Tom wanted to see what it was like to be a prince. When they met together again, they swapped, and both learned to look forward to their own things. Edward did not live for long, but he lived fairly. Tom grew to be a wise old man. I recommend this classic for boys and girls, grades third to fifth.
