The man awoke eventually, when he saw the blue sapphire gem; he said happily, “What on the world is this? somebody actually likes my plays, yes! Now I can finish my play;” and he began to write. The next day, the swallow flew away to Egypt and before that he said to the prince, “I am going to fly away to Egypt today and…” “Oh please little swallow, oh please can you stay with me for one last night?” but the swallow was very satisfied, “But, dear prince; I can’t do that, my friends are waiting for me and it is getting colder and colder here; I have to go to Egypt, where the sun is hot, and it is warm and cool there;” “You must little swallow, you must stay with me for one last night,” “Dear prince, I couldn’t and…” “Swallow this can’t be, you have to stay with me; I command you!” the little swallow had no choice but to obey.

　“Okay prince, what is your command?” “See that poor little girl on the road, she is selling matches; it is Christmas day, and she hadn’t even sold one match. But she dares not to go home; because her father was a cruel man, and he would punish her and hit her hard and say mean words to her if she doesn’t bring home any money. She is crying bitterly, and I want you to do something that I want; which is very important, I now realize that helping people is good since it feels good.”

　“Well what do you suggest me to do dear prince?” “I want you to take my sword’s red gem off again, and give it to her so that she can bring home,” “OH my dear prince!” shouted the swallow in the loudest voice, “I can’t do that, you will lose your sword’s red gem and…” “No swallow, you must do what I tell you, or face your doom!” and so the swallow brought the red gem to the little girl by wings, the little girl looks at it and smiled, “That is nice! But it is still not enough as my father wished me to give it to him;” then she began to sigh and cry again, the swallow heard what the girl had just said; he said to himself, “What a picky girl!” when he flew back, he didn’t tell the prince the message that he had just received from the little girl; but he still was very cold.
