The Prince and the Pauper

Mark Twain

9,304 words

1547年、ロンドンにトムという貧しい少年がいた。トムは、父の言いつけで毎日町へ行き、物乞いをして施しの金を家に持ち帰った。手ぶらで帰ればひどい仕打ちを受けた。一方、時の王ヘンリー8世の息子エドワードの暮らしはトムとはかけ離れたものだった。欲しいものは何でも手に入った。まったく違う世界に住む二人だったが、容姿は見分けがつかないほどよく似ていた。ある日ふとしたことから互いの生活が入れ替わってしまう。物乞いとして生きる王子と、王子として生きる物乞いの少年。二人の運命はどうなってしまうのか。

It is 1547 in London, and Tom is a pauper. His father sends him onto the streets of London to beg for money every day, and hits him when he brings nothing back. But Edward is a prince, the son of King Henry VIII, and he has everything. There is something very unusual about these boys: they are from different worlds, but they look the same. When they meet one day, a mistake puts each boy into the wrong life. So what happens when a prince lives as a pauper, and a pauper lives as a king?
