- 1. (c) Oscar Wilde — It is by Oscar Wilde.
- 2. (d) statue — He is a statue.
- 3. (a) gold leaf — It is covered with gold leaf.
- 4. (b) swallow — A swallow helps him.
- 5. A statue covered in gold with jewels, standing above the city.
- 6. Poor people — a seamstress, a writer, a match-girl and others.
- 7. Though he was carefree in life, the Happy Prince, now a statue able to see the whole city, weeps at the suffering of the poor and resolves to help them, with the swallow as his messenger. First, he asks the swallow to take the ruby from his sword-hilt to a poor seamstress whose child is sick. Next, he sends a sapphire from his eye to a struggling young writer who is cold and hungry, and the other sapphire to a little match-girl who has lost her matches and is afraid to go home. Finally, having given away his jewels, the Prince asks the swallow to strip the gold leaf from his body, piece by piece, and carry it to the poor and the hungry children of the city. In this way the Prince sacrifices all his beauty and riches, and the faithful swallow, delaying its journey to Egypt to serve him, helps relieve the misery of many — until, weakened by the cold, it gives its own life.
