    The Happy Prince


    by Oscar Wilde
    y
    One night there ____________(fly) over the city a little Swallow. His friends
    ___________ (go) away to Egypt six weeks before, but he ___________(stay)
    behind, for he was in love with the most beautiful Reed. He _____________(meet)
    her early in the spring as he ___________ (fly) down the river after a big yellow
    moth, and _____________(be) so attracted by the slender waist that he
    ____________(stop) to talk to her.
    Shall I love you? ___________(say) the Swallow, who ____________(like)
    to come to the point at once, and the Reed _____________(make) him a low bow. So
    he _____________(fly) round and round her, touching the water with his wings, and
    making silver ripples. This was his courtship, and it ____________(last) all through
    the summer.
    It is a ridiculous attachment:, ___________(twitter) the other Swallows; she
    has no money, and far too many relations; and indeed the river was quite full of
    Reeds. Then, when the autumn ____________(come) they all ___________(fly)
    away.
    After
    they
    ____________(go)
    he
    _____________(feel)
    lonely, and
    _____________(begin) to tire of his lady-love. [..]
    Will you come away with me? he ___________(say) finally to her; but the
    Reed ____________ (shake) her head.
    Youve been trifling with me, he ____________(cry). I am off to the
    Pyramids. Good-bye! and he ___________(fly) away.
    All day long he flew, and at night-time he ____________(arrive) at the city.
    Then he _____________(see) the statue (The Happy Prince) on the column.
    [] I have a golden bedroom, he ____________(say) softly to himself as he
    ____________(look) round, and he _____________(prepare) to go to sleep; but just
    as he _______________(put) his head under his wing a large drop ___________(fall)
    on him. What a curious thing! he cried; there is not a single cloud in the sky, the
    stars are quite clear and bright, and yet it is raining.
    Then another drop ____________(fall). []
    Before he ____________(open) his wings to fly away, a third drop
    _____________(fall), and he ____________(look) up and _____________(see)
    Ah! what _______ he ___________(see)?
