Opis: The Happy Prince, and Other Fairy Stories (Classic Reprint) - Oscar Wilde

Excerpt from The Happy Prince, and Other Fairy Stories

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-hilt.

He was very much admired indeed. "He is as beautiful as a weathercock," remarked one of the Town Councillors who wished to gain a reputation for having artistic tastes; "only not quite so useful," he added, fearing lest people should think 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.
