Krátky popis
In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a
lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew
off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late ‘Happy
Prince’, who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he
lived in a palace where sorrow isn’t allowed to enter. Viewing
various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall
monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from
his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering
his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy
Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when
the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold.
The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a
furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and
they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by an
angel that has deemed them the two most precious things in the
city. This is affirmed by God and they live forever in his city of
gold and garden of paradise.
