High above the city stood a shining golden statue of the Happy Prince. His body was covered with fine gold, his eyes were made of two bright blue sapphires(蓝宝石)， and a large red ruby(红宝石)glowed on his sword. People passing by always said, "He looks as perfect as the sun!"
One cold night, a little Swallow flew to rest between the Prince's feet. Suddenly, a water drop fell on his head. "How strange! The sky is clear," he thought. Looking up, he saw the Prince's sapphire eyes filled with tears.
"Why do you cry?" asked the Swallow.
"When I lived in the palace, I never knew pain. But now I see hungry children and lonely old people. Please take the ruby to the little boy coughing in the poor house," said the Prince.
The kind Swallow did as asked. He carried the ruby to a dark room where a boy lay ill. The next day, the Prince said, "Now take my sapphire eyes to the writer starving in his attic." Though sad to see the Prince blind, the Swallow obeyed.
Days grew colder, but the Swallow stayed. "Give my gold leaves to the poor," the Prince begged. Piece by piece, the Swallow gave away the gold until the statue turned grey.
One morning, the Swallow whispered, "Goodbye, dear Prince," and fell dead at his feet. At that moment, the Prince's lead heart broke into two pieces.
When the mayor saw the ugly statue, he ordered it melted. Only the broken heart and the dead bird remained. God said, "You are the most precious(珍贵的)things in my garden."
