THE HAPPY PRINCE (Excerpt)
High above the city,on a tall column,stood the statue of the Happy Prince.He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold,for eyes he had two bright sapphires,and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hit.
He was very much admired,indeed,"he is as beautiful as a weathercock,"remarked one of he Town Councillors who wished to gain a reputation for having atristic tastes;"only not quite so useful,"he added,fearing lest people should thin him unpractical,which he really was not.
"Why can't you be like the Happy Prince?"asked a sensible mother of her little boy who was crying for the moon."The Happy Prince never dreams of crying for anything."
"I am glad there is someone in the world who is quite happy,"muttered a disappointed man as he gazed at the wonderful statue.
He looks just like an angel;"said the Charity Children as they came out of the cathedral in their brigt scarlet cloaks,and their clean white pinafores.
"How do you konw?" said the Mathematical Master,"you have never seen one."
"Ah!but we have,in our dreams,"answered the children;and the Mathemaical Master frowned and looked very severe,for he did not approve of children dreaming.

快乐王子 剪辑
快乐王子的雕像高高地耸立在城市上空—根高大的石柱上面.他浑身上下镶满了薄薄的
黄金叶片,明亮的蓝宝石做成他的双眼,剑柄上还嵌着一颗硕大的灿灿发光的红色宝石.
世人对他真是称羡不已.“他像风标一样漂亮,”一位想表现自己有艺术品味的市参议
员说了一句,接着又因担心人们将他视为不务实际的人,其实他倒是怪务实的,便补充道：
“只是不如风标那么实用.”
“你为什么不能像快乐王子一样呢?”一位明智的母亲对自己那哭喊着要月亮的小男孩
说,“快乐王子做梦时都从没有想过哭着要东西.”
“世上还有如此快乐的人真让我高兴,”一位沮丧的汉子凝视着这座非凡的雕像喃喃自
语地说着.
“他看上去就像位天使,”孤儿院的孩于们说.他们正从教堂走出来,身上披着鲜红夺
目的斗篷,胸前挂着干净雪白的围嘴儿.
“你们是怎么知道的?”数学教师问道,“你们又没见过天使的模样.”
“啊!可我们见过,是在梦里见到的.”孩子们答道.数学教师皱皱眉头并绷起了面
孔,因为他不赞成孩子们做梦.
