One night, a little swallow flew over the city. He was very 16 and wanted to have a good sleep in the city. When he saw the Statue of the Happy Prince (王子), he flew down and got ready to sleep17 the feet of the Happy Prince.
Just as he was putting his head under his wing, some 18 fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked 19 , he found the sky was 20 clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly, he saw some tears were running down the Prince’s golden 21 .
“ 22 are you crying?” asked the swallow.
“In a little street, there’s a poor house. From one of the windows, I see a woman 23 at a table. She’s sewing clothes for 24 women to wear. In a bed in the corner of the room, her little boy is sick. He’s asking for oranges, but his mother has only water to give him, so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty 25 the mother is so sad. Little swallow, will you please take her the 26 from the top of my sword (宝剑)？”
“It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place, but I will stay with you and do as you ask.”
The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman’s room and 27 it beside the woman’s needle.
28 he flew back, he told the Prince what he had done. “It ‘s strange,” he added, “It’s so cold but I feel quite 29 now.”
