English short story The Happy Prince Floren Bout V4B1 The statue of the Happy Prince was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine
gold. For eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his
sword-hilt.
He was very much admired by all the people of the city. They describe it as beautiful
as a weathercock and as an angel.
2 A Swallow flew over the city. His friends had gone away to Egypt six weeks
before, but he had stayed behind, for he was in love with the most beautiful Reed.
3 They called it ‘a ridiculous attachment’, because the Reed has no money, and
far too many relations.
4 He began to tire of his lady-love, he loves to travel and so should his wife.
He asked the Reed to come with him, but she shook her head. He cried and flew
away, off to the Pyramids. He flew all day long and arrived at the city at night-time.
5 There were drops falling on him and when he flew away to find shelter from
the rain, he saw that it wasn’t rain. The eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with
tears, he was crying.
6 After the Happy Prince died, they have set him up there so high that he can
see all the ugliness and all the misery of his city. And tough his new heart is made of
lead, yet he cannot choose but weep.
7 All the ugliness and misery of his city.
He asks the Swallow to give a crying woman he can see from up high, the ruby out of
his sword-hilt.
8 Last summer, when the Swallow was staying on the river, there were two rude
boys, who were always throwing rocks at him.
9 He asks the Swallow to give an old man a sapphire that he must pluck out of
the Happy Prince’s eye.
10 He asks the Swallow to pluck out his other eye and give the sapphire to a poor
match-girl, so her father will not beat her.
11 He stays with the Happy Prince, because he is blind now. He tells him stories
of what he had seen in strange lands.
12 He saw the rich making merry in their beautiful houses, while the beggars
were sitting at the gates. He flew into dark lanes, and saw the white faces of starving
children looking out listlessly at the black streets. Under the archway of a bridge he
saw two little boys lying in one another’s arms to try and keep themselves warm.
13 He asks the Swallow to take the fine gold off him, leaf by leaf, and give it to the
poor.
