Why does the Happy Prince send a ruby for the seamstress? What does the swallow do in the seamstress’ house?
Solution and Explanation
The seamstress was so impoverished that she was unable to provide for her feverish infant, so the Happy Prince gifted her a ruby. After being convinced by the prince, the swallow proceeded to the seamstress's home. The swallow left the ruby on the table where the woman worked since she had fallen asleep. Then, using his wings, he circled the bed, fanning the boy's forehead. The boy fell asleep as a result of feeling more at ease.
