the difference

Tom was not born to be a pauper, and Edward was not born to be a prince. Edward had said to Tom, "if we go out naked, no one can tell which is you and which is me!" Indeed, when the pauper put on the prince's clothes, everyone took him for a prince; But when Edward put on the clothes of the pauper, everyone recognized him as a pauper. There was neither "born with wealth" nor "born with kingship", but only what clothes he wore and where he stood. Moreover, when Tom was put on the throne in the prince's clothes, he immediately issued benevolent laws, released innocent prisoners, denied the absurdity of feudal laws, denounced the disregard for human life by the inquisition, and became an enlightened monarch favored by the people. And Edward, dressed in his pauper's clothes, was able to abolish torture, redress wrongs done, and enact new laws to improve the condition of the people when he became king again. Was it a sudden impulse or a revival of conscience? No, it is the objective influence of the environment on the character, and the transformation of the healthy and simple life of the people. Tom came from the people, and a healthy and simple life of the people had endowed him with goodness and uprightness, and a disposition to sympathize with suffering and hate evil from an early age. However, after Edward went from the palace to the people, influenced by the people's life, he gradually acquired totally different qualities and personalities from the rulers.
