Detailed explanation-1: -While flying over the great city the swallow saw the rich making merry in their beautiful houses, the beggars sitting at the gates, the white faces of starving children looking out listlessly at the black streets in dark lanes, two little boys lying in each other’s arms trying to keep warm under the archway in hunger.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Swallow decided to stay under the statue of the Happy Prince that night because it was high up and there was plenty of fresh air.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Happy Prince asked the swallow to take the sapphire from his other eye and give it to the poor little girl. The swallow was not ready to do so because that would make the Prince completely blind.
