when the swallow died, what unusual thing happened?
Answers
When the swallow died and fell near the Happy Prince’s feet, his leaden heart broke into two pieces. This was the unusual thing that happened after the swallow’s death.
The little swallow had been the Prince’s companion and had done the kind acts of helping the poor and the needy of the city. The little swallow had delayed in going to Egypt to save itself from the approaching cold. The cold approached and affected the little swallow resulting in its death. The swallow’s death caused grief and broke the Prince’s heart in two.
The swallow stayed with the Happy Prince all through the winter, assisting him in helping poor people. One day, he died. His death broke the Happy Prince’s heart of lead.
The statue lost all its beauty. The swallow and the leaden heart were thrown away in the dust heap as worthless objects. God’s angel then took these two to paradise as they were the most befitting in heaven.
