18 A Happy Ending at Last!

CHAPTER 18 A Happy Ending at Last! W hile all the excitement was going on inside the church, poor Miles was trapped outside. He had lost Edward in the crowd earlier that morning. He decided to wait until the crowd left so he could search more easily. He knew that Edward would be somewhere nearby. It was already late afternoon by the time Miles saw the king. He could not believe his

第十八章终于有了幸福的结局！当所有的兴奋都在教堂里进行时，可怜的迈尔斯被困在了外面。 那天早上早些时候，他在人群中失去了爱德华。 他决定等到人群离开，这样他可以更容易地搜索。 他知道爱德华会在附近的某个地方。 当迈尔斯见到国王时，已经是傍晚了。 他简直不敢相信自己的眼睛

eyes. It was his pauper! Was that possible? Miles looked at the group beside the king and noticed another boy. But wait, was this boy his pauper? The two boys were nearly identical. Miles walked toward them in a daze. He did not hear the guards call him. He was too focused on this mystery. He only stopped when a guard stood in front of him. "Stand back," the guard said. King Edward looked over when he heard the guard speak. "Let him come to me," he said. "Sir Miles has every right to be here." "Y-your Majesty," Miles stuttered. "You've found your crown." Edward smiled. "Yes. Thanks to you and your bravery." "I'm sorry, Sir," Miles said. "I think I'm still in a bit of shock." "That's quite understandable," Edward replied. "Now that I have returned home and

眼睛。是他的乞丐！这可能吗？ 迈尔斯看了看国王身边的人群，注意到另一个男孩。 等等，这个男孩是他的乞丐吗？ 这两个男孩几乎长得一模一样。 迈尔斯迷迷糊糊地朝他们走去。 他没有听到卫兵叫他。 他太专注于这个谜了。 只有当一个卫兵站在他面前时，他才停下来。 “退后，”卫兵说。 爱德华国王听到卫兵说话时，抬起头来。 耶稣说，叫他到我这里来。 “迈尔斯爵士完全有权利来这里。” “陛下，”迈尔斯结结巴巴地说。 “你找到了你的王冠。” 爱德华笑了。“是的。谢谢你和你的勇敢。” “对不起，先生，”迈尔斯说。 “我想我还是有点震惊。” “这完全可以理解，”爱德华回答。 “现在我已经回家了

learned of all of Tom's troubles convincing people of the truth, I realize that my story must have seemed unbelievable. I've been waiting for you to arrive. I have a present for you." Edward looked to the group of people standing nearby. "Sir Hugh!" he called. "Come to me." Miles's brother Hugh quickly walked to the king and knelt before him. "Yes, Your Majesty," he said. "Sir Hugh, I would like you to look at this man. Do you recognize him?" Hugh turned around. He gasped when he saw Miles. "I—no, Sir. This man is a fraud! I swear." "I know all about your crimes," Edward said. "I know that you stole your brother's rightful property. Guards! Take this man to prison." Hugh cried out as they dragged him away. Not long after, there was yet another

当我得知汤姆费了好大劲才让人们相信真相时，我意识到我的故事听起来一定让人难以置信。 我一直在等你的到来。 我有一件礼物要送给你。” 爱德华看了看站在附近的一群人。 “休爵士！”他喊道。“到我这儿来。” 迈尔斯的弟弟休迅速走向国王，跪在他面前。 “是的，陛下。”他说。 “休爵士，我想请你看看这个人。 你认得他吗？”休转过身来。 当他看到迈尔斯时，他倒吸了一口气。 “不，先生。这个人是个骗子！”我发誓。” “我知道你所有的罪行。”爱德华说。 “我知道你偷了你哥哥的合法财产。 卫兵!把这个人送进监狱。” 他们把休拖走时，他大声叫道。 没过多久，又来了一次

happy reunion as Tom rushed into his mother's arms. He had so many stories to tell her. And there was the happy news that the new king had given them a new home. They would have clean clothes and honest work. Mrs. Canty, Nan, and Bet laughed. "I always knew you were destined for great things," Mrs. Canty said. "It was very kind of King Edward to help us," Bet said. "Yes, he's very generous," Nan added. Tom smiled at his family. "It's true," he said. "There is no one as kind and generous as our good King Edward." And so we come to the end of our tale. Hugh did not stay in jail for long. Miles and Edith did not want him to suffer too much. When he was released, Hugh decided to leave England and set out for America. Edith divorced Hugh, and Miles and Edith were married shortly after he left.
