1. Why do the courtiers call the prince ‘the Happy prince’? Is he really
happy? What does he see all around him? (কিয়
সভাসদসকলে ৰাজকুমাৰজনক ‘সুখী ৰাজকুমাৰ’ বুলি কৈছিল ? তেওঁ সচাকে সুখিনে ? তেওঁ তেওঁৰ
বিষয়ে কি দেখিছে ?)
Ans:
Basically a prince has lots of/many facilities that a king
provides him. As same as this, the Happy Prince does not know about tears and
sorrows. Even he lives in palace where sorrow is not allowed to enter. So, the
courtiers call the prince ‘the Happy Prince’.
Yes, absolutely
right, because the prince was very happy when he was in the palace.
He sees that when he was in the
palace then he had not any sorrows. But, after his dead and set up his statue
in high, now he can see the ugliness and all the misery of his city. So, he is
very sorrow now.
2. Why does the Happy Prince send a ruby for the seamstress? What does
the swallow do in the seamstress house? (কিয়
সুখী ৰাজকুমাৰজনে দৰ্জীজনীৰ বাবে ৰবীটো দিছে ? সেই চৰাইটোৱে দৰ্জীজনীৰ ঘৰত কি কৰিছে
?)
Ans:
When the Happy Prince looks at the room then he sees that the
seamstress’s little boy is lying ill. He has been a fever and the boy is asking
his mother to him oranges. But his mother has nothing to give anything but only
the river water. For these reasons, the Happy Prince sends a ruby for the
seamstress.
To give support for the seamstress
and the thirsty boy, the swallow picks out the great ruby from the Prince’s
sword and flies away with it in his beak. Entering the room, the swallow lays
the great ruby on the table beside the woman’s thimble. After that, he flies
gently round the bed and fanning the boy’s forehead with his wings.
3. For whom does the prince send the sapphires and why? (কাৰ বাবে ৰাজকুমাৰজনে নীলকান্তমণিটো দিছে আৰ কিয় ?)
Ans:
The prince sends the sapphires to
the playwright.
According to the information of the Happy Prince, the
playwright is leaning over a desk covered with papers. His hair is brown and
crisp, and his lips are red as a pomegranate. He has large and dreaming eyes.
He is trying to finish a play for the Director of the Theatre, but he is too
cold to any more. There is no fire in the grate and hunger has made him faint.
The Happy Prince wants to give the sapphires that he will sell it to the
jeweler and buy firewood and can finish his play.
4. What does the
swallow see when it flies over the city? (নগৰৰ ওপৰেদি উৰি যাওঁতে চৰাইটোৱে
কি কি দেখিছে ?)
Ans:
When the
swallow flies over the city, he sees that the rich is making merry in their
beautiful houses, while the beggars are sitting at the gates. In the dark
lanes, the swallow sees the white faces of starving children looking out
listlessly at the black streets. Under the archway of a bridge, two little boys
are lying in each other’s arms to try and keep themselves warm. They are
expressing as hungry. Also, when the watchman shouts and orders not to lie
there then they wander out into the rain.
5. Why did the swallow not leave the
prince and go to Egypt
Ans:
After the
plucked out all the eyes, the prince was blind totally. Then, the prince could
not able to see anything and the miserable condition of his city. So, the
swallow decided to stay with the Happy Prince to describe or inform the all
current details of the city.
Also,
he told him the stories of what he had seen in the strange lands. The swallow
felt very sorry for the Happy Prince and he liked the Prince very much as he
could support the prince for his satisfaction.
6. What are
the precious things mentioned in the story? Why are they precious? (সাধুটোত
উল্লেখ কৰা মূল্যবান বস্তুকেইটা কি কি ? কিয় সেইবোৰ মূল্যবান ?)
Or:
What are the
two most precious things that God asked to bring in Paradise ?
Why does God say that it is rightly chosen to his Angel ?
(স্বৰ্গলৈ
কোনকেইটা মূল্যবান বস্তু আনিব দিছিল ? কিয় ভগবানে কৈছে যে তেওঁৰ দূতে শুদ্ধ বাছনি কৰিছে
?)
Ans:
The leaden heart of the Happy Prince and the dead bird are
the two most precious things that God suggests to bring.
These
are most precious because the Happy Prince’s leaden heart was so good. As, the
Happy Prince’s leaden heart wanted to solve the problems of his city and cried
internally at the miserable condition of his people. The swallow or the bird
was also precious because the bird did many works for removing the sorrowful
moments and helped the problems of people. Also, the bird sacrificed his
journey to Egypt
