– Because when I was alive I lived in the Palace of Carelessness and there was no pain there. She looked up and to her surprise she saw that it was not water that fell, but the tears of the Happy Prince. – Strange, there aren’t even clouds in the sky… – thought the little swallow.īut then a second drop fell, and a third. When she had her head under her wing and was about to fall asleep, a large drop of water fell on her. Her journey took her there and when she saw the statue of the Happy Prince she thought it was a good place to perch and spend the night. She decided to stay with her lover, but when autumn came her friends left and she began to tire of her love, so she had decided to set course for the Pyramids. Her friends had left for Egypt weeks before, but she had stayed behind because she had fallen in love with a reed. One night a swallow arrived in the city on its way to Egypt. – He looks like an angel! – said the parishioners as they left the cathedral. He never cries,” said a mother to her son who was crying because he wanted the moon. – You have to be like the Happy Prince, my son. – He is as beautiful as a weather vane,” said one of the councilors. Such was the beauty of the Happy Prince that everyone admired him. His eyes were two sparkling sapphires, and a large red ruby burned in the hilt of his sword. It was all covered with fine golden honeysuckle. In the highest part of the city, on a small column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince.
