"Out this late, are you?" the man said. "And you haven't even brought home a penny for your mother or me." Edward pulled free and turned to face the man. "Are you his father? Are you Mr. Canty?" The man looked strangely at Edward. "Thank heavens you've found me. Now we can straighten this all out."

许愿时，他吓坏了。就在这时开始下雨了。 可怜的无家可归的王子在街上继续他的旅程。 突然，一个男人抓住了他的衣领。 “你这么晚还在外面，是吗？” “可你连一分钱也没给你妈妈和我带回来。” 爱德华挣脱了，转身面对着那个人。 “你是他的父亲吗？”你是康第先生吗？”那人奇怪地看着爱德华。 “谢天谢地，你找到我了。 现在我们可以把这一切理顺了。”

"'His father?'" Mr. Canty said. "What are you going on about, boy? I'm your father." "Please, let us not delay anymore. I'm hurt, tired, and cold. Take me to my father the king right away."
