"The Happy Prince and Other Tales" by Oscar Wilde features a collection of poignant stories that convey deep moral lessons through imaginative narratives. In the title tale, a once-magnificent statue of a prince, adorned in gold and precious gems, becomes a symbol of compassion after his death. Observing the suffering of the poor in his city, he asks a swallow to help him give away his jewels to those in need. The swallow, initially on its way to warmer climates, stays to assist the prince, highlighting themes of selflessness, love, and sacrifice. The collection illustrates Wilde's signature blend of wit and pathos. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
