"Bring me the two most precious things in the city," said God to one of his Angels.
I read The Happy Prince and The Nightingale and the Rose. Its author is Oscar Wilde. He is an Irish author who is famous for his poetry,plays and children's stories.
The story of The Happy Prince is about a beautiful metal statue, the Happy Prince, and a migratory bird. The bird is flying south for the winter and stops for shelter under the statue. The two become good friends and the bird helps the statue to give his riches to the poor of the city. Also, The nightingale and the Rose is about a timeless story love and sacrifice. A young student falls in love with his Professor's daughter. She asks him for a red rose but he hasn't got one to give her. A little nightingale, moved by student's tears, decides to make a rose for him by sacrificing her own life.
I read two stories in Japanese when I was a child. They tells us love and helping others by sacrifice. However, I've never such experience, so they in tho book are amazing people and we can learn a lot from their attitudes.
