The Happy Prince - CFG



Oscar Wilde

It’s a story about a statue that was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, it’s eyes are made of two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glows on his sword-hilt.

Everybody likes the happy prince because they are glad that there is someone who is always happy.

One time a little Swallow who was on the way to Egypt ,wants a place to sleep comes to the statue. When he wantsto sleep under the statue , he notices that the Happy Prince is crying. When the Swallow asks why he is crying he answers that he is sad because there are so many unhappy people in the country he wanted to help.

So the little Swallow stays the night with the happy prince and takes the red ruby from the Prince’s sword shield to the pour people.

The next day the Swallow wants to fly to Egypt but the prince asks him to stay and take the sapphires from his eye to the pour. That happens also the next day, but now the Happy Prince is blind and the Swallow wants to stay with him.

Finally the winter comes and the little Swallow dies, but he comes in heaven together with the Happy Prince.

My Opinion:

I think the story is worth reading because it’s easy to understand. I really liked the story because the Prince and the Swallow didn’t think of themselves and helped the poor. They show how we should behave when someone is in misery.
