The Prince and the Pauper
Tom Canty and Edward Tudor is born on the the same day. Tom belongs to a family of beggars and thieves. His father, John Canty, is a thief while his mother and grandmother are beggars.

Tom sleeps in a dirty floor in the corner of the room while the others can sleep anywhere they desire. His grandmother is very loving to him, as well as her mother and sisters except his father.
