高一英語課外閱讀：The happy prince By Oscar Wilde 06

 　　"Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow," said the Prince, "will you not stay with me for one night, and be my messenger? The boy is so thirsty, and the mother so sad."

　　"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."

　　"Thank you, little Swallow," said the Prince.

　　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.
