The Happy Prince
" Happy Prince" is a world fairy tale, although it’s short, the meaning
of the story gives readers deep feelings about kindness, and silent
sacrifice even at the expense of others. The story is about a prince
who was called “Happy Prince”. When he was alive, he lived a
happy life with no sorrow in the Palace of Sans-Sousi. After he
died, despite carrying a heart made of lead , he still had feelings
and compassion for people. Swallow, the animal that lingered for
love, had a chance to meet with the prince. For the first time, he
asked Swallow to bring the ruby from the hilt of his sword to a poor
woman with a feverish child living at the end of the street. The
second time, it brought one of his eyes that are jade to the poor
student who was fainting from hunger. For the third time, Swallow
gave the remaining jade eye to the poor match girl. Finally, he took
the gold that was covering his body to give to homeless children that
were starving because of the cold winter. Touched by the prince's
actions, Swallow willingly stayed in the city, staying beside the good
prince. But according to the laws of nature, the Swallow could never
get through the winter. The Swallow said goodbye and kissed the
Prince on the lips before he died. The leaders in the town decided to
burn the statue of " Happy Prince " because he was no longer as
handsome as before. The strange thing was that the lead heart is still
intact. The heart was discarded along with the body of the Swallow,
and an angel of God picked them up with the name " Two most
precious things of the city ".
