00:00Join Kids Heart Family!

00:09Tia, today our teacher spoke to us about putting others first before our own needs.

00:18That's very nice.

00:22Tell me something Tia.

00:23Even if it makes them unhappy, do people put others before their own needs?

00:29Some people who have a really nice heart do.

00:34I remember the story of the happy prince.

00:38Do you want to hear it Tofu?

00:40Yes!

00:41Yes!

00:52Once upon a time, a beautiful golden statue of the most beautiful smiling prince

00:59stood in the town centre.

01:07It was covered with gold leaves

01:10and had eyes made of blue sapphire.

01:16It had a huge red ruby on the hilt of its sword.

01:26Everyone who ever saw the happy prince fell in love with it.

01:30The baker, whose flour had just fallen on the floor, saw it

01:39and said

01:40Oh, happy prince! I wish I could always be happy like him.

01:46From now on, I will.

01:54The schoolgirls were very happy.

01:57The schoolgirl, whose mother wouldn't buy her ice cream

02:01saw the happy prince and said

02:03Oh, the happy prince! I wish I could always be like him.

02:09From now on, I will.

02:18At the same time, in the forest near the city

02:21a swallow asked his new bride

02:24My love, all our friends have left for Egypt for the winters.

02:28There, they will see the pharaoh's palace

02:31and bask in the sun in the royal gardens.

02:37They will enjoy many fruits and berries of different kinds.

02:41We must join them there.

02:43But his bride just nodded her head to say no.

02:47We will come back after the winters.

02:50You must come with us.

02:51We will come back after the winters.

02:54You must let go of your attachment with this home and dwelling.

02:59Bride again nods no.

03:03You are being foolish, my new bride.

03:06But I must go.

03:08My friends wait for me.

03:11And so the swallow flies away.

03:15After a whole day of flying

03:17halfway through the happy prince's city

03:21and then begins to feel tired.

03:25I think I will rest the night here

03:28and start again for Egypt tomorrow.

03:36This golden statue is very beautiful.

03:42I will rest between his feet.

03:48Just as the swallow was about to sleep

03:51a large drop of water fell on him.

03:54What?

03:56Where did this come from?

03:58The sky is clear.

04:01Just as the swallow was getting ready to sleep again

04:05another large drop of water fell on him.

04:08When he looked up

04:10he saw that the prince was crying.

04:18Who are you?

04:20I am the happy prince.

04:23Why are you crying then?

04:25I lived in the city palace once.

04:28I was always happy.

04:31I had no reason to be sad

04:33because I knew my people were happy too.

04:39When I died

04:40they made a golden statue of me and put me here.

04:44From here, I can see the sadness of my people

04:48and my heart, though it's made of lead, feels sad.

04:54What do you see, a golden prince?

04:57Far away, I can see a seamstress.

05:00Her fingers are red and bloody from endless stitching.

05:10Next to her on a bed is a little boy.

05:13He is sick with fever and is crying out for oranges.

05:21But the seamstress doesn't have anything

05:24other than river water to give him.

05:27Oh swallow, take the ruby from my sword and give it to her.

05:33No, no.

05:34I have to go to Egypt.

05:36I cannot stay.

05:38And if I go to the seamstress's house

05:41I won't be able to reach Egypt.

05:43Please swallow, the child is very thirsty.

05:47Hmm, well, okay.

05:51I will go.

05:55So the swallow took the ruby from the hilt of the prince's sword

05:59and flew to the seamstress's house.

06:06By the time he got there

06:08the tired seamstress had fallen asleep on her working table.

06:15So the swallow kept the ruby on the table.

06:20Then he flew around the sick boy's bed, flapping his wings.

06:33Ah, I feel so much better now.

06:36Ah, I feel so much cooler.

06:39I think I must be getting better.

06:54By the time the swallow returned, it was the next night.

06:59I will now go to Egypt.

07:02But the prince was crying again.

07:11I can see a hardworking man filled with despair.

07:16He is a writer and must finish his next play soon.

07:21But he is tired because he has to go to the seamstress's house.

07:25He is a writer and must finish his next play soon.

07:29But he is tired because he has no food to eat.

07:33Won't you stay another night and help that man?

07:37Okay, one night it is.

07:40Should I take another ruby to him?

07:43Alas, I have no ruby to give him now.

07:47But my eyes are made of sapphire.

07:50Take one of my eyes.

07:52No, no, I cannot do that.

07:55And so the swallow plucked out the prince's eye

07:59and flew away to the writer's house.

08:08By the time he reached there, the writer had fainted out of hunger and cold.

08:16The kind swallow put the sapphire on the writer's desk

08:20and collected dry twigs

08:23and lit a fire for the writer before he flew back to the prince.

08:42When he returned to the prince, it was the next night again.

08:46And once again, the prince was tearful.

08:51What is wrong, Prince?

08:53In the square, I can see a match girl crying.

08:57All her matches have fallen into the gutter and got spoiled.

09:02No one will buy them now.

09:04She is afraid her father will be angry when she goes home without any money.

09:11Please, swallow, take care of the match girl.

09:14Please, swallow, take my other eye and give it to her.

09:18No, no, I cannot do that.

09:22You will become blind.

09:24But I order you to do so.

09:29And so the swallow plucked out the prince's other eye

09:34and took it to the little girl.

09:37The girl became very happy when she saw the stone

09:43and went home skipping.

09:53The swallow returned to the prince.

10:01Now you can go to Egypt, my friend.

10:04No, now I cannot go, my friend.

10:07I will stay here and become your eyes.

10:11So the swallow stayed by the prince.

10:14Every day, he would fly over the city

10:19and tell the prince the sorry tales he saw.

10:24The prince would then tell the swallow

10:26to pluck out a gold leaf from his body

10:30and give it to the little girl.

10:34And give it to the poor people of his city.

10:39Soon, there were no leaves left on the body of the prince.

10:45All that was left was his cold grey body.

10:52It kept getting colder as the winters kept setting in

10:56and the weather kept getting chillier.

10:59The swallow knew that he will not survive the season much longer.

11:05My friend, it is time for me to go.

11:09Finally, you are going to Egypt.

11:12Not Egypt, but towards death.

11:16Isn't it like sleep after all?

11:20But before I go, can I kiss you?

11:24I will once again kiss you, my princess.

11:28I can't be sad without you.

11:32Kiss me before you go.

11:35And so the frail swallow kissed the prince and fell at his feet dead.

11:44Suddenly, there was a loud sound like a crack.

11:49It was the sound of breaking of the prince's lead heart.

11:53In the morning, the mayor of the city crossed the statue.

12:01What an ugly statue!

12:04And it has a dead bird at its feet too.

12:10Break it down immediately and put up my statue instead.

12:23A few hours later, when the mayor's men broke the statue apart

12:31they found the two pieces of the prince's heart

12:35and they threw it into the bin next to the dead swallow.

12:43That's when God said to his angels

12:47Bring me the most precious two things in the world.

12:56And they took the dead swallow and the prince's broken heart to God.

13:05Well chosen, my angels.

13:10From now on, the swallow will sing in my heaven.

13:17And the prince will praise my ways.

13:22So you see, Tofu.

13:24Even if you forego some happiness by putting others before you

13:28there are always better things waiting for you.

13:32Yes, Tia. Now I understand what my teacher was talking about.
