I am reading a book entitled, The Whipping Boy. The main characters in the book are Horace and Jemmy. Prince Horace is very bossy and always thinks he should get whatever he wants. Prince Horace is very rude and is also lonely. Jemmy is a rat catcher before he was chosen to become a whipping boy. Jemmy is very kind. I think Prince Horace and Jemmy are alike because they both live in the same place.
This book shares a custom of royalty having a whipping boy. A whipping boy is someone who was whipped for what a Prince should be punished for. I think that custom is not fair for the person that is being whipped.
