What are the precious things mentioned in the story? Why are they precious?
Share
The precious things mentioned in the story are the broken heart of the happy prince and the dead bird. They are precious because both the happy prince and the swallow were very kind hearted, generous and selfless. The prince could not see the ugliness, misery and suffering of the people in his city and so gave away all his precious stones and gold to make his everyone happy. Similarly the swallow sacrificed his trip to Egypt and decided to stay with prince as his messenger for carrying the precious stones and gold to the needy.
That is why when God asked one of the angels to bring him the two precious things in the garden the angel took the broken heart and the dead bird and God said that in his garden of Paradise the little bird shall sing for ever more and in the city of gold the Happy Prince shall praise God.
