Ellerbees, let's focus on the deeper part of the story.  WHY would the prince want to run away?  I mean he's a prince and has everything he could possibly want!  And he doesn't even get punished!  If you can figure this out, you will really be understanding this story.  And think about the relationship changes that are happening between the prince and Jemmy.  Queen Bee

If they trust each other to survive, why doesn't Jemmy be more kind to him? I've been also wondering about why did they still argue?

That is right, even though the prince and Jemmy have been caught, this trip has made them trust each other.

 

                                                             -Thecoolbee

 

I fully agree with you, and escaping was probably on Jemmy's mind, but the prince just made it easier. Only they still got caught.

                                                                 THE Bee

 

Would anyone mind if I changed the subject?  I have a new idea. I think Jemmy and Prince Brat trust each other, deep inside. Like when the prince was going to run away, he asked Jemmy to tag along too. That was nice because if the king found out, Jemmy would have been whipped a lot of times. When the prince asked Jemmy to go and Jemmy agreed, Prince Brat just saved Jemmy from the terrible punishment. You don't have to be alike and you don't have to like some people, but it is nice if they do some favors for you. BIG favors.

The prince was very dumb to leave, but I think it was only because he thought his father did not love him much because of all the pranks the prince had played. But I think the king still misses his son.

 

                                                                              -Thecoolbee

 

Bluebee, you are right. The real prince and Jemmy have been captured again. There is no way the cutthroats will fall for their trick a second time. Jemmy will not get away with it, and since he is the "prince", When he gets back to the castle, he will be busted.

 

                                                                             -Thecoolbee

 

 

Thinking that prince Brat was going on an adventure was a good idea that you made Bubble Bee. I was thinking that Prince Brat just wanted to run away from his family because no one cares about him.

                                                              ~Jewelrybee

 

I agree with Plush Bee. I mean, I do think that Prince Brat was bored just sitting while all the other people doing the work for him. I think the prince wants to do an adventure instead of just sitting.-Bubble Bee

 

 

I think the prince wanted something that would give him some adventure.  I mean, with so many guards and stuff, nothing would come by. Prince Brat probably got tired of and bored of just laying back and letting everyone do the work.

I think that the prince was trusting Jemmy a bit more when  he told Jemmy that he was going to run away because he knew that if he left Jemmy at the castle, Jemmy would be whipped until he was half an inch away from death. Since Prince Brat told Jemmy and Jemmy agreed, Prince Brat just saved Jemmy from the punishment. Even if they have nothing alike and don't like each other at all, I think deep inside, Jemmy and Prince Brat have a heart for each other. They both have to trust each other anyway to stay alive.

I agree with Awesome but I would also like to add  that  the prince already knows that creatures well steal it!!!!! But maybe he thinks that it is something important for his life. (stop repeating what i said please)

I think prince Brat was foolish to bring his crown because he could show of how rich he was and maybe they would bow down to him. Another reason I thing prince Brat is foolish is because he dissided  to run away because he always got what he wanted so how would he survive.

                                                                                                   -Awesome Bee 

 

I think the prince might have run away because even though he was living in a castle that had many things, he probably ran away because he said he was bored and didn't have anything interesting to do, but running away just because you're bored shouldn't mean running away from a castle.

I also think that Prince Brat is foolish. I think he is foolish because he wants to show-off and wants everyone to treat him like a royal prince. Do you think Jemmy is not going to be the whipping boy anymore? I think so because if I was him, all that pain will make me quit the job.

                                                                                              ~Jewelrybee

 

I also think it was foolish to bring his crown with him.Does he expect for people to kneel at his feet and give him everything he wants?No.He is to spoiled because he never got spanked in his life.

                                                                               -Freebee

 

It is  foolish but maybe the prince thinks the crown is so precious or wants to show-off. But he should know that there are many creatures to steal it or anything. ~Crystal Bee

 

 

It was also weird that the price would bring his own crown. He could of left it in the castle instead of taking it with him. It was all his fault because now they are stuck with Cutwater and Hold-Your-Nose-Billy.

                                   Icy Bee

 

It would be so foolish for a price to run away. Just because he is bored doesn't mean he has to run away. That was really weird because he is a prince and not that I could think of he was the only prince who ran away.                  Icy Bee

 

 

I think he ran away because maybe he wanted some excitement! I remembered that he said that he was bored. If he wanted some excitement, why would he want to be like a prisoner to Hold-Your-Nose Billy and Cutwater?Maybe he did it to make people outside the world knows where he is from and want to live there too!-Hedgehogbee

 

I think it's was foolish for Prince Brat to bring his golden crown.He was insane!And really,he brings silverware and other stuff to tell the people living outside the castle that he is from the royal family and treat him like one.He is one crazy prince!-Dancing bee

 

 

Not exactly. He was acting as the prince so he could save Prince Brat. So I don't think he'll get in trouble if he tells the King that he was acting like the prince to save the real one.

                                                                           King Bee

 

 

 

I think Jemmy is C-RAZY. I don't know how he could think that he'll pretend he's prince and actually get away with it. If they get back there to the castle, Jemmy is sooooooooo dead.

                                                                                                                     -Bluebee

 

I think it was foolish of the prince to leave. He had a reason that I think no prince would ever say. It was also foolish of him not to see the escape plan Jemmy set out when he said his "whipping boy"(the prince) could deliver the message. I also agree with Freebee but they don't scold royal people.

                                                                                -King Bee

 

 

I was thinking that if Prince Brat went back  to the castle, the people who lived at the castle would scold him from running away.I disagree.The king would still miss him,and he still loves the prince.Even though he did lots of bad things, the king would still love him.
