For whom does the prince send the sapphires and why? |
|
Answer» The Happy Prince sent the sapphires to two people: The young writer who lived across the city and the match-girl. The Happy Prince then saw a little match-girl who was standing in the square just below him. All her matches had fallen into the gutter and were all spoiled. The prince knew that the match girls father would beat her if she did not bring home some money. When the swallow slipped the jewel into the palm of the little girl’s hand, she ran home happy and laughing. |
