    D. In Oscar Wilde's story, The Happy Prince insists that the Swallow pluck out his sapphire eyes so that he can give them to a playwright who cannot finish his play because he is cold and has no money to get firewood to warm himself or food to eat, and to a match vendor who has dropped her matches on the snow and will be beaten by her father if she returns home with no money.
