  1. Hi!! I think that this story (The Happy Prince), is a very good story,I think that the writer want to say that the rich people must give money to the poor people, and then, all the people be happy, and somebody haven't got much money than other persons. All the people will be similar.

  6. I think the happy prince story is very good, because it teaches us that those who have much money they have to share with the poor, instead of spending it on unnecessary things. At first the prince was not happy, because the people around was poor and sad, but he chose to give all the gold that had the poorest presonas, and so got to be happy and make other people happy.

    The Selfish giant is, in my opinion, a didactic story. It teach us that to be selfish don't leaves you to be happy, like the giant: when he wasn't selfish his garden was wonderfull and it was making him happy, but if he was selfish in his garden only was winter.

  24. The Selfish Giant is the typical didactic tale which teaches children how they should behave. This one is evidently about the selfishness: being that mean and stupid to people is bad for you and everyone, you'll be a lot happier if you are a bit nicer to others, and they'll be nicer to you as well.

    The Selfish Giant
    I think this is an interesting story because it is a fantastic and easy to understand tale. The end of the story is boring because it is very strange.
    The meaning of the story is: "Don't be selfish because life is better if you aren't selfish or jealous

    The Selfish Giant
    This story seems that it’s got a sad ending because the Giant died but just at that moment his dream became real because he found the little child (who was God). The story teaches us that if we are good with the other people, our life will be better and the others will love us. I like the story, although I didn’t expect this ending.

    I think that this story is really appropriate for little children because it teaches them how to be generous with a very beautiful plot. The kid in the story makes the giant more sensitive and he died being a good person, the kid (who was God) changes his temperament in a good way so the story finally has a happy ending.
