There was once a prince brat, he liked pranks. A boy called Jemmy was kept to be punished in place of brat. One day, brat decided to run away and called Jemmy to go with him.They met two men who cut water and Billy. The two men found out that one of them was prince.They wanted Brat to write a letter to the king but Brat couldn't write so the villains thought Jenny was prince. Jenny wrote the letter and told the villains to send the message in the hands of brat.Brat said no so they thought of another plan. After that Jemmy thought of another plan to escape but Brat betrayed him. Jenny and the prince escaped.When they walked on Jimmy they met a man and rode on the carriage. They rode to the fair. Jimmy brought the brat into the sewers and they met the villains and the prince brat made a noise when the man got bitten by rats. Prince learns his lesson and behaves well.



Pulling pranks on other people can hurt others and get yourself a bad life start. Pulling pranks to make others very angry and also you'll get a punishment from your family or from other people. In the story, the brat likes to pull pranks and other lords and ladies. Jenny was the boy that was being punished in place of Prince brat if he went naughty or didn't behave himself. That is how prince brat gets punished. It is not good to pull pranks because even if you don't say that you did it one day the secret will be out. And your punishment gets worse. It's better not to do pranks or not behave well at first or you will get some bad punishment.



Everyone needs knowledge to make their choice in something. Knowledge is a kind of power that you can find out if your choice is wrong or right. In the story, Jenny used his knowledge to make a plan to escape and write the letters. Prince Brad but if he is royal and has many servants he doesn't need to learn anything because his servants can do it for him. Knowledge is something that you need to learn about if you don't have knowledge to be like Prince brat always thinking that money is the power. Everyone has some different ideas and thoughts about knowledge but knowledge is always digging deeper. Knowledge can help you learn and make good choices.



Trusting each other can let other people trust you.Trusting each other can make you meet different people and believe what they say. In the story, Jamie trusted Brat about not telling the villains about the plan to escape. The first time Brat betrayed him but Jenny gave him a second time and forgave him. The second time Brat did not tell the villains. This shows that trusting others will teach them that what they're doing is wrong. You give them a second time to let them understand this is for you or somebody else. You need to trust somebody if you don't trust anyone or anything you can't understand them. Trusting each other will make you a good start to meet the world.



In conclusion, pulling pranks can lead you to a bad start in your life. You might get spanked and think that the world is full of anger. I also learned that everyone needs knowledge if you don't you cannot make good in your lifetime. You need to think about how you spend your money, how this problem is solved, etc. One kind of knowledge is trust. If you trust others you can learn about how they feel and what choices they make wrong. You can learn through the words about things that you never know and feel.
