Q: The mayor calls Happy Prince, “Little better than a beggar.” Why?_____
Ans: The words above were uttered by the mayor of the town. When Swallow said, “I am going to the House of Death,” he kissed the happy prince on the lips arid fell down at his feet. At that moment, a curious crack sounded inside the statue, as if something had broken. The leaden heart had broken into two pieces.
The next morning, the mayor was walking in the square below in company with the town councillors. The Mayor said, “How shabby does the happy prince look? The ruby has fallen out of his sword, his eyes are gone and he is golden no longer. He is little better than a beggar.”
The mayor remarked like this because the existing condition of the happy prince was unspeakable. His real beauty had vanished. He was without eyes, without gold. He looked so dull and dreary that seeing the condition of the statue of the happy prince, the mayor uttered these words, “He is little better than a beggar.”
