The　Happy　Prince　and　Other　Tales

1 THE　HAPPY　PRINCE

High　above　the　city；　on　a　tall　column；　stood　the　statue　of　the　Happy

Prince。　He　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　indeed。　〃He　is　as　beautiful　as　a

weathercock；〃　remarked　one　of　the　Town　Councillors　who　wished　to　gain

a　reputation　for　having　artistic　tastes；　〃only　not　quite　so　useful；〃　he　added；

fearing　lest　people　should　think　him　unpractical；　which　he　really　was　not。

〃Why　can't　you　be　like　the　Happy　Prince？〃　asked　a　sensible　mother　of

her　little　boy　who　was　crying　for　the　moon。　〃The　Happy　Prince　never

dreams　of　crying　for　anything。〃

〃I　am　glad　there　is　some　one　in　the　world　who　is　quite　happy；〃

muttered　a　disappointed　man　as　he　gazed　at　the　wonderful　statue。

〃He　looks　just　like　an　angel；〃　said　the　Charity　Children　as　they　came

out　of　the　cathedral　in　their　bright　scarlet　cloaks　and　their　clean　white

pinafores。

〃How　do　you　know？〃　said　the　Mathematical　Master；　〃you　have　never

seen　one。〃

〃Ah！　but　we　have；　in　our　dreams；〃　answered　the　children；　and　the

Mathematical　Master　frowned　and　looked　very　severe；　for　he　did　not

approve　of　children　dreaming。

One　night　there　flew　over　the　city　a　little　Swallow。　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。　He　had　met　her　early　in　the

spring
