Happy Prince

Oscar Wild

In a country far away, a young prince lives happily in the wonderful palace of Sans-Souci. Nothing sad comes through the door of that palace. Every day he plays with his friends in the palace garden. Every night he laughs and sings with his friends in the biggest room in the palace.

Everything there is beautiful. But what about the other people in his country? The prince doesn't know about them. He never leaves the palace or its garden. So he never thinks about other people, and he never asks any questions to learn about them. Everyone at the palace calls him, 'The Happy Prince.' And when he dies, they make a statue of him.
