Palace’. He would be always pleasant and happy, therefore, the courtiers called him

“The Happy Prince. He lived and died happily. But now within this stone structure

placed on a very high pedestal, the prince is very unhappy because he can see all the

ugliness and misery that is present in his city.

2. Why does the Happy Prince send a ruby for the seamstress? What does the

swallow do in the seamstress’ house?

Ans: The happy prince sends a ruby for the seamstress because she did not have any

money to give her little son who was down with very high fever. The swallow goes to the

seamstress’ house and finds the lady sleeping due to fatigue. So he dropped the ruby

on the table beside the lady’s thimble. Then he flew gently round the bed, fanning the

boy’s forehead with his wings making him feel better, and helped him sink into a deep

slumber.

3. For whom does the prince send the sapphires and why?

Ans: The prince’s eyes were made of rare sapphires. He had exhausted all the rubies.

One night, he spotted a playwright trying to finish a play which he could not because of

the excessive cold. He had no fire in his grate, and had fainted due to hunger. The

prince told the swallow to scoop out one eye and give it to the playwright to help him get

energy and warmth to get on with his work. His second eye was plucked out to be given

to a little girl who had dropped her matches into a gutter. The prince knew that if she

was not helped, her father would beat her. With both the sapphires gone, the prince had

gone blind.

4. What does the swallow see when he flies over the city?

Ans: The swallow saw the rich enjoying themselves in their beautiful houses, while the

poor were sitting at their gates hoping to receive some leftovers. In the dark lanes, white

faces of starving children, stared listlessly into the bleak and hopeless black space

around them. A watchman was driving away two little boys who were cold and hungry

from under the archway of a bridge.
