Accordingly, the prince never knew unhappiness when he was
alive, as he lived in splendor and ease. He lived in a palace
where sorrow was never allowed to enter; a high wall separated
his palace grounds from the outside world. Because his
existence was so sheltered, the prince never knew of the
misfortunes and miseries his subjects experienced in their own
lives. The prince tells the swallow that his own courtiers used to
call him the Happy Prince, only because he was always found to
be cheerful and untroubled.

The prince remembers living a life that consisted of largely

unvarying daily pleasures; during the day, he cavorted with his
companions in the garden, and in the evenings, he led dances in
the Great Hall of the palace. It was only when he died that he
became sad, and this was because they placed his statue so high
up on the city grounds that he could see the surrounding
miseries and degradation in the city.

Happy in Service

Have you ever heard someone say, 'It's better to give than
receive?' They could have been referring to any number of
things: giving a gift, helping someone at work, or volunteering
for a worthy cause.

The main character in our short story, The Happy Prince written

by Oscar Wilde, sure thought so. He was willing to give up his
greatest possessions for the benefit of people who were hurting
and less fortunate.

Let's take a closer look at this tale involving a princely statue

and a friendly swallow.

The Statue and the Swallow

When our short tale opens, we're introduced to the Happy
Prince, an ornate statue situated high on a pole overlooking the
city. He boasts a sword with a ruby on its handle, sapphires for
eyes, and delicate leaves of gold covering his entire body. The
townspeople are proud of the statue and admire the warmth and
beauty that it gives off.

It's springtime in the prince's city, and a group of swallows has

moved from one location and are en route to Egypt, leaving
behind one of their own. This particular swallow, the second
protagonist, has fallen in love with a local Reed bird. They
spend all spring and summer together, but their love is short-
lived, and the brokenhearted swallow starts making plans to
rejoin his friends.
