THE HAPPY PRINCE (Excerpt)
High above the city,on a tall column,stood the statue of the Happy Prince.He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold,for eyes he had two bright sapphires,and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hit.
He was very much admired,indeed,"he is as beautiful as a weathercock,"remarked one of he Town Councillors who wished to gain a reputation for having atristic tastes;"only not quite so useful,"he added,fearing lest people should thin him unpractical,which he really was not.
"Why can't you be like the Happy Prince?"asked a sensible mother of her little boy who was crying for the moon."The Happy Prince never dreams of crying for anything."
"I am glad there is someone in the world who is quite happy,"muttered a disappointed man as he gazed at the wonderful statue.
He looks just like an angel;"said the Charity Children as they came out of the cathedral in their brigt scarlet cloaks,and their clean white pinafores.
"How do you konw?" said the Mathematical Master,"you have never seen one."
"Ah!but we have,in our dreams,"answered the children;and the Mathemaical Master frowned and looked very severe,for he did not approve of children dreaming.
