Dick Whittington was a little beggar who had to work hard to keep body and soul together. He wore shabby clothes and felt embarrassed to ask for money, so he went to London hoping to find his fortune and earn a living there.
At first, life was pretty bad for him, but then he had a lucky strike: he found a job in the house of Mr Fitzwarren. Dick decided to remain in the house, because it was precisely what he wanted. One day he caught sight of a pretty girl, Mr Fitzwarren’s daughter, and soon began to fancy the girl.
His only problem was the rats and mice in the house. To get rid of them, he bought a cat and fed it with scraps from his own dinner. Later, when Mr Fitzwarren’s ship was ready to sail, Dick took a risk of giving his cat away and sent it overseas, although he had nothing else to send.
After a quarrel with the cook, Dick left the house, but on the way he heard church bells ring: “Turn again, Whittington, Lord Mayor of London!” He believed the prophecy, returned and reflected on his life and future. Meanwhile, his cat reached Barbary, where it frightened away the rats and mice. The king paid a lot of gold and jewels for the cat, and Dick became rich. In the end, he found his fortune, married Mr Fitzwarren’s daughter, and the wedding bells rang for them.
