This is a kind of sad story and when I read this book, I was so touched by their relationship and the warm hearts. The scene I chose was impressive and I wanted to light up LEDs on his beautiful blue eyes.

[The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde]

“My eyes are all that I have left. They are made of rare sapphires, which were brought out of India a thousand years ago. Pluck out one of them and take it to him. He will sell it to the jeweller, and buy food and firewood, and finish his play.”

“Dear Prince,” said the Swallow, “I cannot do that”; and he began to weep.

“Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow,” said the Prince, “do as I command you.”

So the Swallow plucked out the Prince’s eye, and flew away to the student’s garret.
