Explanation:

The source of happiness comes not from worldly possessions, but from helping others. In this lesson, you'll learn more about 'The Happy Prince' and his helpful friend, the Swallow.

Happy in Service

Have you ever heard someone say, 'It's better to give than receive?' They could have been referring to any number of things: giving a gift, helping someone at work, or volunteering for a worthy cause.

The main character in our short story, The Happy Prince written by Oscar Wilde, sure thought so. He was willing to give up his greatest possessions for the benefit of people who were hurting and less fortunate.

Let's take a closer look at this tale involving a princely statue and a friendly swallow.

The Statue and the Swallow

When our short tale opens, we're introduced to the Happy Prince, an ornate statue situated high on a pole overlooking the city. He boasts a sword with a ruby on its handle, sapphires for eyes, and delicate leaves of gold covering his entire body. The townspeople are proud of the statue and admire the warmth and beauty that it gives off.

It's springtime in the prince's city, and a group of swallows has moved from one location and are en route to Egypt, leaving behind one of their own. This particular swallow, the second protagonist, has fallen in love with a local Reed bird. They spend all spring and summer together, but their love is short-lived, and the brokenhearted swallow starts making plans to rejoin his friends.
