The Happy Prince (cartoon in English, part 2)
«I don’t think I like boys,» answered the Swallow. «Last summer, when I was staying on the river, there were two rude boys, the miller’s sons, who were always throwing stones at me. They never hit me, of course; we swallows fly far too well for that, and besides, I come of a family famous for its agility; but still, it was a mark of disrespect.»
But the Happy Prince looked so sad that the little Swallow was sorry. «It is very cold here,» he said; «but I will stay with you for one night, and be your messenger.»
<…> So the Swallow picked out the great ruby from the Prince’s sword, and flew away with it in his beak over the roofs of the town.
