the monkey thanked the boar many times and then went home . he did not sleep much that night , as you may imagine , for thinking of the morrow . his life depended on whether the boar 's plan succeeded or not . he was the first up , waiting anxiously for what was to happen . it seemed to him a very long time before his master 's wife began to move about and open the shutters to let in the light of day . then all happened as the boar had planned . the mother placed her child near the porch as usual while she tidied up the house and got her breakfast ready . the child was crooning happily in the morning sunlight , dabbing on the mats at the play of light and shadow . suddenly there was a noise in the porch and a loud cry from the child . the mother ran out from the kitchen to the spot , only just in time to see the boar disappearing through the gate with her child in its clutch . she flung out her hands with a loud cry of despair and rushed into the inner room where her husband was still sleeping soundly .

he sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes , and crossly demanded what his wife was making all that noise about . by the time that the man was alive to what had happened , and they both got outside the gate , the boar had got well away , but they saw the monkey running after the thief as hard as his legs would carry him . both the man and wife were moved to admiration at the plucky conduct of the sagacious monkey , and their gratitude knew no bounds when the faithful monkey brought the child safely back to their arms .

" " you are right , wife , for once , " said the man as he carried the child into the house . " you may send the butcher back when he comes , and now give us all a good breakfast and the monkey too . " when the butcher arrived he was sent away with an order for some boar 's meat for the evening dinner , and the monkey was petted and lived the rest of his days in peace , nor did his master ever strike him again .

' how astonishingly cold it is ! my body is cracking all over ! ' said the snow - man . ' the wind is really cutting one 's very life out ! and how that fiery thing up there glares ! ' he meant the sun , which was just setting . ' it sha'n't make me blink , though , and i shall keep quite cool and collected . ' instead of eyes he had two large three - cornered pieces of slate in his head ; his mouth consisted of an old rake , so that he had teeth as well . he was born amidst the shouts and laughter of the boys , and greeted by the jingling bells and cracking whips of the sledges . the sun went down , the full moon rose , large , round , clear and beautiful , in the dark blue sky .

' there it is again on the other side ! ' said the snow - man , by which he meant the sun was appearing again . ' i have become quite accustomed to its glaring . i hope it will hang there and shine , so that i may be able to see myself . i wish i knew , though , how one ought to see about changing one 's position . i should very much like to move about . if i only could , i would glide up and down the ice there , as i saw the boys doing ; but somehow or other , i do n't know how to run . ' ' bow - wow ! ' barked the old yard - dog ; he was rather hoarse and could n't bark very well . his hoarseness came on when he was a house - dog and used to lie in front of the stove . ' the sun will soon teach you to run ! i saw that last winter with your predecessor , and farther back still with his predecessors ! they have all run away ! ' ' i do n't understand you , my friend , ' said the snow - man . ' that thing up there is to teach me to run ? ' he meant the moon . ' well , it certainly did run just now , for i saw it quite plainly over there , and now here it is on this side . ' ' you know nothing at all about it , ' said the yard - dog . ' why , you have only just been made . the thing you see there is the moon ; the other thing you saw going down the other side was the sun . he will come up again tomorrow morning , and will soon teach you how to run away down the gutter . the weather is going to change ; i feel it already by the pain in my left hind - leg ; the weather is certainly going to change .

' and one ca n't get a fellow like this in summer either , ' said the young man , pointing to the snow - man . ' he 's a beauty ! ' the girl laughed , and nodded to the snow - man , and then they both danced away over the snow . ' who were those two ? ' asked the snow - man of the yard - dog . ' you have been in this yard longer than i have . do you know who they are ? ' ' do i know them indeed ? ' answered the yard - dog . ' she has often stroked me , and he has given me bones . i do n't bite either of them ! ' ' but what are they ? ' asked the snow - man . ' lovers ! ' replied the yard - dog . ' they will go into one kennel and gnaw the same bone ! ' ' are they the same kind of beings that we are ? ' asked the snow - man . ' they are our masters , ' answered the yard - dog . ' really people who have only been in the world one day know very little . that 's the conclusion i have come to . now i have age and wisdom ; i know everyone in the house , and i can remember a time when i was not lying here in a cold kennel . bow - wow ! ' ' the cold is splendid , ' said the snow - man . ' tell me some more . but do n't rattle your chain so , it makes me crack ! '

' why did you leave her ? ' asked the snow - man . he had a feeling that such a being must be a lady . ' how could you leave such a place ? ' ' i had to ! ' said the yard - dog . ' they turned me out of doors , and chained me up here . i had bitten the youngest boy in the leg , because he took away the bone i was gnawing ; a bone for a bone , i thought ! but they were very angry , and from that time i have been chained here , and i have lost my voice . do n't you hear how hoarse i am ? bow - wow ! i ca n't speak like other dogs . bow - wow ! that was the end of happiness ! ' the snow - man , however , was not listening to him any more ; he was looking into the room where the housekeeper lived , where the stove stood on its four iron legs , and seemed to be just the same size as the snow - man . ' how something is cracking inside me ! ' he said . ' shall i never be able to get in there ? it is certainly a very innocent wish , and our innocent wishes ought to be fulfilled . i must get there , and lean against the stove , if i have to break the window first ! ' ' you will never get inside there ! ' said the yard - dog ; ' and if you were to reach the stove you would disappear . bow - wow ! ' ' i 'm as good as gone already ! ' answered the snow - man .

the whole day the snow - man looked through the window ; towards dusk the room grew still more inviting ; the stove gave out a mild light , not at all like the moon or even the sun ; no , as only a stove can shine , when it has something to feed upon . when the door of the room was open , it flared up - this was one of its peculiarities ; it flickered quite red upon the snow - man 's white face . ' i ca n't stand it any longer ! ' he said . ' how beautiful it looks with its tongue stretched out like that ! ' it was a long night , but the snow - man did not find it so ; there he stood , wrapt in his pleasant thoughts , and they froze , so that he cracked . next morning the panes of the kitchen window were covered with ice , and the most beautiful ice - flowers that even a snow - man could desire , only they blotted out the stove . the window would not open ; he could n't see the stove which he thought was such a lovely lady . there was a cracking and cracking inside him and all around ; there was just such a frost as a snow - man would delight in . but this snow - man was different : how could he feel happy ?

' i ca n't understand him , ' said the snow - man ; ' but i have an idea that he is speaking of something unpleasant . that thing that glares so , and then disappears , the sun , as he calls it , is not my friend . i know that by instinct . ' ' bow - wow ! ' barked the yard - dog , and walked three times round himself , and then crept into his kennel to sleep . the weather really did change . towards morning a dense damp fog lay over the whole neighbourhood ; later on came an icy wind , which sent the frost packing . but when the sun rose , it was a glorious sight . the trees and shrubs were covered with rime , and looked like a wood of coral , and every branch was thick with long white blossoms . the most delicate twigs , which are lost among the foliage in summer - time , came now into prominence , and it was like a spider 's web of glistening white . the lady - birches waved in the wind ; and when the sun shone , everything glittered and sparkled as if it were sprinkled with diamond dust , and great diamonds were lying on the snowy carpet . ' is n't it wonderful ? ' exclaimed a girl who was walking with a young man in the garden . they stopped near the snow - man , and looked at the glistening trees . ' summer can not show a more beautiful sight , ' she said , with her eyes shining .

' why did you leave her ? ' asked the snow - man . he had a feeling that such a being must be a lady . ' how could you leave such a place ? ' ' i had to ! ' said the yard - dog . ' they turned me out of doors , and chained me up here . i had bitten the youngest boy in the leg , because he took away the bone i was gnawing ; a bone for a bone , i thought ! but they were very angry , and from that time i have been chained here , and i have lost my voice . do n't you hear how hoarse i am ? bow - wow ! i ca n't speak like other dogs . bow - wow ! that was the end of happiness ! ' the snow - man , however , was not listening to him any more ; he was looking into the room where the housekeeper lived , where the stove stood on its four iron legs , and seemed to be just the same size as the snow - man . ' how something is cracking inside me ! ' he said . ' shall i never be able to get in there ? it is certainly a very innocent wish , and our innocent wishes ought to be fulfilled . i must get there , and lean against the stove , if i have to break the window first ! ' ' you will never get inside there ! ' said the yard - dog ; ' and if you were to reach the stove you would disappear . bow - wow ! ' ' i 'm as good as gone already ! ' answered the snow - man . ' i believe i 'm breaking up ! '

the whole day the snow - man looked through the window ; towards dusk the room grew still more inviting ; the stove gave out a mild light , not at all like the moon or even the sun ; no , as only a stove can shine , when it has something to feed upon . when the door of the room was open , it flared up - this was one of its peculiarities ; it flickered quite red upon the snow - man 's white face . ' i ca n't stand it any longer ! ' he said . ' how beautiful it looks with its tongue stretched out like that ! ' it was a long night , but the snow - man did not find it so ; there he stood , wrapt in his pleasant thoughts , and they froze , so that he cracked . next morning the panes of the kitchen window were covered with ice , and the most beautiful ice - flowers that even a snow - man could desire , only they blotted out the stove . the window would not open ; he could n't see the stove which he thought was such a lovely lady . there was a cracking and cracking inside him and all around ; there was just such a frost as a snow - man would delight in . but this snow - man was different : how could he feel happy ? ' yours is a bad illness for a snow - man ! ' said the yard - dog . ' i also suffered from it , but i have got over it . bow - wow ! ' he barked . ' the weather is going to change ! ' he added . the weather did change . there came a thaw . when this set in the snow - man set off . he did not say anything , and he did not complain , and those are bad signs . one morning he broke up altogether . and lo ! where he had stood there remained a broomstick standing upright , round which the boys had built him ! ' ah ! now i understand why he loved the stove , ' said the yard - dog . ' that is the raker they use to clean out the stove ! the snow - man had a stove - raker in his body ! that 's what was the matter with him ! and now it 's all over with him ! bow - wow ! ' and before long it was all over with the winter too ! ' bow - wow !

" the customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities , especially the toffee customers . but there was always no money ; they never paid for as much as a pennyworth of peppermints . but the sales were enormous , ten times as large as tabitha twitchit 's . as there was always no money , ginger and pickles were obliged to eat their own goods . pickles ate biscuits and ginger ate a dried haddock . they ate them by candle - light after the shop was closed .

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 - hilt . he was very much admired indeed . " he is as beautiful as a weathercock , " remarked one of the town councillors who wished to gain a reputation for having artistic tastes ; " only not quite so useful , " he added , fearing lest people should think him unpractical , which he really was not .

one night there flew over the city a little swallow . his friends had gone away to egypt six weeks before , but he had stayed behind , for he was in love with the most beautiful reed . he had met her early in the spring as he was flying down the river after a big yellow moth , and had been so attracted by her slender waist that he had stopped to talk to her . " shall i love you ? " said the swallow , who liked to come to the point at once , and the reed made him a low bow . so he flew round and round her , touching the water with his wings , and making silver ripples . this was his courtship , and it lasted all through the summer . " it is a ridiculous attachment , " twittered the other swallows ; " she has no money , and far too many relations " ; and indeed the river was quite full of reeds . then , when the autumn came they all flew away .

but before he had opened his wings , a third drop fell , and he looked up , and saw - ah ! what did he see ? the eyes of the happy prince were filled with tears , and tears were running down his golden cheeks . his face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little swallow was filled with pity . " who are you ? " he said . " i am the happy prince . " " why are you weeping then ? " asked the swallow ; " you have quite drenched me . " " when i was alive and had a human heart , " answered the statue , " i did not know what tears were , for i lived in the palace of sans - souci , where sorrow is not allowed to enter . in the daytime i played with my companions in the garden , and in the evening i led the dance in the great hall . round the garden ran a very lofty wall , but i never cared to ask what lay beyond it , everything about me was so beautiful . my courtiers called me the happy prince , and happy indeed i was , if pleasure be happiness . so i lived , and so i died . and now that i am dead they have set me up here so high that i can see all the ugliness and all the misery of my city , and though my heart is made of lead yet i can not chose but weep .

" and he wrote a long letter about it to the local newspaper . every one quoted it , it was full of so many words that they could not understand . " to - night i go to egypt , " said the swallow , and he was in high spirits at the prospect . he visited all the public monuments , and sat a long time on top of the church steeple . wherever he went the sparrows chirruped , and said to each other , " what a distinguished stranger !

" " dear prince , " said the swallow , " i can not do that " ; and he began to weep . " swallow , swallow , little swallow , " said the prince , " do as i command you . " so the swallow plucked out the prince 's eye , and flew away to the student 's garret . it was easy enough to get in , as there was a hole in the roof . through this he darted , and came into the room . the young man had his head buried in his hands , so he did not hear the flutter of the bird 's wings , and when he looked up he found the beautiful sapphire lying on the withered violets .

so the swallow flew over the great city , and saw the rich making merry in their beautiful houses , while the beggars were sitting at the gates . he flew into dark lanes , and saw the white faces of starving children looking out listlessly at the black streets . under the archway of a bridge two little boys were lying in one another 's arms to try and keep themselves warm . " how hungry we are ! " they said . " you must not lie here , " shouted the watchman , and they wandered out into the rain . then he flew back and told the prince what he had seen .

" to - morrow my friends will fly up to the second cataract . the river - horse couches there among the bulrushes , and on a great granite throne sits the god memnon . all night long he watches the stars , and when the morning star shines he utters one cry of joy , and then he is silent . at noon the yellow lions come down to the water 's edge to drink . they have eyes like green beryls , and their roar is louder than the roar of the cataract . " " swallow , swallow , little swallow , " said the prince , " far away across the city i see a young man in a garret . he is leaning over a desk covered with papers , and in a tumbler by his side there is a bunch of withered violets . his hair is brown and crisp , and his lips are red as a pomegranate , and he has large and dreamy eyes . he is trying to finish a play for the director of the theatre , but he is too cold to write any more . there is no fire in the grate , and hunger has made him faint . " " i am beginning to be appreciated , " he cried ; " this is from some great admirer . now i can finish my play , " and he looked quite happy . the next day the swallow flew down to the harbour . he sat on the mast of a large vessel and watched the sailors hauling big chests out of the hold with ropes . " heave a - hoy ! " they shouted as each chest came up . " i am going to egypt " ! cried the swallow , but nobody minded , and when the moon rose he flew back to the happy prince . " i am come to bid you good - bye , " he cried . " swallow , swallow , little swallow , " said the prince , " will you not stay with me one night longer ? " " it is winter , " answered the swallow , " and the chill snow will soon be here . in egypt the sun is warm on the green palm - trees , and the crocodiles lie in the mud and look lazily about them . my companions are building a nest in the temple of baalbec , and the pink and white doves are watching them , and cooing to each other . dear prince , i must leave you , but i will never forget you , and next spring i will bring you back two beautiful jewels in place of those you have given away . the ruby shall be redder than a red rose , and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea .

so they pulled down the statue of the happy prince . " as he is no longer beautiful he is no longer useful , " said the art professor at the university . then they melted the statue in a furnace , and the mayor held a meeting of the corporation to decide what was to be done with the metal . " we must have another statue , of course , " he said , " and it shall be a statue of myself . " " of myself , " said each of the town councillors , and they quarrelled . when i last heard of them they were quarrelling still . " what a strange thing ! " said the overseer of the workmen at the foundry . " this broken lead heart will not melt in the furnace . we must throw it away . " so they threw it on a dust - heap where the dead swallow was also lying . " bring me the two most precious things in the city , " said god to one of his angels ; and the angel brought him the leaden heart and the dead bird . " you have rightly chosen , " said god , " for in my garden of paradise this little bird shall sing for evermore , and in my city of gold the happy prince shall praise me . "

long , long ago , when all the animals could talk , there lived in the province of inaba in japan , a little white hare . his home was on the island of oki . just across the sea was the mainland of inaba . now the hare wanted very much to cross over to inaba . day after day he would go out and sit on the shore and look longingly over the water in the direction of inaba . day after day he hoped to find some way of getting across . one day as usual , the hare was standing on the beach , looking towards the mainland across the water , when he saw a great crocodile swimming near the island . " this is very lucky ! " thought the hare . " now i shall be able to get my wish . i will ask the crocodile to carry me across the sea ! "
