Answer:
I read not too long ago a short story by Oscar Wilde called ‘The Happy Prince’ and it almost made me cry. Which is not unusual, but for a fairy tale slightly yes! There were no tears for the plight of Snow White or Sleeping Beauty trapped in her 100 years of sleep, or for Red Riding Hood when she was fooled by the wolf (she should have known better really), or Rapunzel trapped in a tower, but for the Happy Prince there was a higher level of emotional involvement going on, against my better judgment (who cries over fairy tales! Please!…..me?!).
If you haven’t read it, the story goes something along these lines (uh-oh for attempting to paraphrase in a succinct form)
The Happy Prince was a statue in a city placed way up high. He was beautiful – he was covered in gold, had sparkling jewels for his eyes and as decorations, and he looked so very blissfully happy all the time. He grew up as a prince in a closed-off palace that no unhappiness was allowed to enter, so while he lived he never knew what it was to feel sorrow. After he was gone, a beautiful statue of him was put up in his honor and everyone would comment on how happy he looked and sigh, wishing for his happiness too. Then one winter a little swallow came and settled by his feet route north, and he was surprised to feel the tears of the Happy Prince falling on his head. He asked what the matter was, and the Prince replied that his heart was breaking because of all the sorrow of people he could see from up high in his vantage point. He was powerless to help them but he desperately wanted to, so he begged the swallow to take one of his jewels that decorated his sword hilt to help a poor seamstress whose son was ill and thirsty and who could not help him because of her poverty and because she had to finish off an intricate dress for a princess (who of course cared little for her distress). The swallow did as he was asked, and continued to carry off the embellishments of the Prince for others in similar plights, even though it meant he was delaying his crucial flight north to warmer weather. Eventually all that remains of the once-magnificent Prince is a tired grey statue. The story doesn’t really end happily. The statue gets pulled down and destroyed because it has become ugly, and the little swallow dies of cold because he won’t abandon the prince, and has helped him banish the misery of poverty by spreading about the Prince’s abundance. But the two most precious things of the city (the leaden heart of the Prince that broke in two when the swallow died, and the dead body of the swallow) are taken by God because they are the things he values most in that city, and both are rewarded for their sacrifices.
