The Beggar and the King

by Winthrop Parkhurst

[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]

[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]

THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.

THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?

THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.

THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?

THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.

THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.

THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.

THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?

THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.

THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.

THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.

THE KING: Then bring out the spears.

THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.

THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?

THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.

THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.

THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.

THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.

THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.

THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.

THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.

THE KING: I am listening.

THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.

THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.
Read this excerpt from The Beggar and the King.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

The middle hieroglyph was unknown to him, but he guessed that the two at the left symbolized the sun.

From his studies of Coptic, Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote down the first two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph. Then, at the end, he wrote SS, the sound of the last two hieroglyphs.

He studied the combination: RA ? SS. Suddenly he remembered a famous pharaoh whose name appeared in ancient Greek chronicles and also in the Biblical Book of Exodus: Rameses, or Ramesses. Could this be a hieroglyphic representation of Ramesses' name?

I heard a rustling noise in the shrubs outside of my window... all of a sudden, the curtains flipped open, and I got a weird feeling down my spine, like someone was watching me... I hopped out of bed, and put my shoes on, trying to be as quiet as possible, as I didn't want to wake my parents, I tip-toed down the stairs, and creaked open the front door. Once I got outside I felt a weird presence like there was someone or something with me. That's when I felt gravitated over to the shrubs.... once I got over to the shrubs near my window, I saw something! I screamed as loud as I could, it looked like some sort of a ghost, but then again I don't believe in ghosts. I hurried away back to the porch to collect myself, and went inside, once I got back upstairs, and tucked in, I still felt odd and unsettled. Once I started falling asleep I heard someone whispering my name so I said "Dad, Mom?" and then I felt a hand over my mouth, so once again I screamed, I tried to open my eyes but they felt so heavy, I stopped resisting. Once I opened my eyes I was in an odd place, with lots of greenery... then I remembered, the shrub! maybe the odd person/spirit took me into the shrub with them! It had to be that. Then I heard a dull knocking noise, and an alarm clock so I pried my eyes open with all my strength, and I was back in my bed with my mom yelling at my to wake up... what a dream, or was it...?

If Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry are made to live apart, will it be a positive or negative change, or both?

Answers

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

It would be both a good and bad change if Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry had to live separately.

On the one hand, it would provide everyone of them with the chance to advance personally. They would be allowed to decide for themselves and develop self-reliance. They would grow more autonomous and self-sufficient as a result, which could be a good experience.

However, Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry would find it difficult to be apart from their brothers. They share a strong bond and rely on one another for support. They would miss out on time together and each other's support during trying times if they were separated.

As they would feel alone and isolated, this could be a bad experience for them.In the end, it would depend on several things, including Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry's particular personalities and how they handled the change, whether or not being separated was a beneficial or negative shift for them.
