6th September 2009

Wow Mum, I had revisited an old childhood story, "The Happy Prince". This little story seems to depict what all human relationships all started out as...

It seems very different now when I read it, for it brings now meaning and this little story can be summaries as below,

In the beginning of The Happy Prince, we see the Swallow's shallow flirtation with the Reed and his wonder at the Happy Prince being gilded with gold rather than solid gold; in the middle, we see the Swallow help the Happy Prince in his good works; at the end we see his dedication to the living statue, and his willngness to give all simply to remain with him. The beginning is simple. The middle is simple. The end is challenging. Stories invite us to be at our best. Stories remind us when we are not.
