For whom does the prince send the sapphires and why?
The happy prince sent the sapphires for two people which are named below:
- The young writer across the city
- The match girl: The young writer was trying to complete writing a play for the theatre. It was too cold to write and there was no fire in the grate hunger that made him faint. He sent the sapphire so that he could sell it to the jeweler, buy firewood, and finish his play well. The happy prince then saw a little match girl whose matches had fallen in the gutter and got spoiled. The prince knew that her father would beat her if she did not bring some money to the home. When the swallow slipped the jewel in to the palm of the little girl’s hand, she ran home happily and by laughing.
