Question 6

What are the precious things mentioned in the story? Why are they precious?

Answer

The precious things that are named in the story are the broken heart of the happy prince and the dead bird. They are very precious because both the happy prince and the swallow were very king hearted, generous and selfless. The prince couldn't see the ugliness, misery and suffering of the people in his city and so he gave away all his precious stones and gold to make everyone happy. Similarly, the swallow sacrificed his trip to Egypt and decided to stay with the prince as his messenger for transferring the precious stones and got to the needy. That's why when god asked one of the angels to bring him the two precious things in the garden then the angel took the broken heart and the dead bird and god said that in his garden of paradise the little bird shall sing for every morning and in the city of gold the happy prince shall praise god.
