SUMMARY 01: “THE YOUNG KIND”

The young person king is a statement of the author Oscar Wilde narrated in third
person and in which it uses a descriptive language. In this work Wilde which tries
to make ourselves think how we act with all the persons. Initially the work where
it mentions a brief history of how a young person who had been disinherited
returns to take again the throne after the old king had been looking for it, which
is a way of exemplifying that in some situation we will need from someone and in
spite of the pride that a person could have, the need for obtaining something I
can make us change of seeming.

On the one hand, a day previous to his coronation the " young woman king " had
three dreams that would change his way of thinking. In his first dream, it shows
to a group of workers where arduous hours happen doing the mantle that the re
will dress; it is there where one starts realizing of everything what coronation and
gown have provoked; it realizes that the work is excessive on the part of every
worker is not rewarded well, since they are a humble people and of scanty
resources that for small quantity of money they need it so heavy works.

In his second dream, he is in a ship, young where they enter to the sea to look
for a pearl that is the most beautiful and worth being in the sceptre of the " young
woman king". The young person king notices that due to the pressure of the depth
of the sea, a young person dies for finding the most beautiful pearl. It provokes
that he thinks otherwise since now realizes that some lives get lost for material
things, which it might say they are less important than the life of a man.

In the third dream, it realizes that persons' multitudes look for rubies for the crown
of the " young woman king ", seems to be a competition in which there is too
many death and greed; In all the dreams it had realized that all the disasters were
due to him and to his luxuries, but on this case quite this problematic they were
based in only finding a ruby for his crown.
On the other hand, the following day, that is to say, when already it was going to
be crowned they were taking the golden mantle of the first dream, the sceptre
with the pearl of the second dream and his crown with the ruby of the third dream,
the " young woman king " remembers each of his dreams and remembers the
way for which all the persons happened that he could have these belongings. On
it having remembered it decides that they should bring the clothes with the one
that had come. It would use old rags, secondhand and ugly clothes, but even like
that I decided to go to the cathedral where they would crown it, in spite of the
insults of the people and laughs of the people who saw it.

On having come to the cathedral, the Pope decides that it will not crown it this
way, in this moment, on having admitted that the people saw the things of a bad
way, " the young person king " decides to pray, and for divine art a light arises,
appears " to be divine " that dresses it in beautiful things, but using elements
offered to the nature. So later it goes out of the cathedral dressed hereby and the
whole people remains annihilated, without words, since thanks to this one " to be
divine " could cause some type of change in the mentality of the persons.
 SUMMARY 02: “THE BIRTHDAY OF THE INFANTA”

He narrates the arrival of a snub enanito to the castle of Spain, where it had to
make laugh to the Infanta and to the nobles, because the small one was expiring
12 years. The story begins with The Infanta playing and traversing with his
companions, which was not doing grace to the nobles who saw her, because they
were thinking that the Infanta of Spain had to play with people of his lineage. But
this was not mattering for her because it was happy running with his friends.

The king was contemplating his daughter, remembering with melancholy the
queen, who after having died, continued loving her and giving him mourning
ignoring to the matrimonial offers of other kingdoms and empires. When the
infanta stopped playing, a young boy of the castle brought a horrible enanito that
had been sold by his father to the king in his zeal to get rid of his unsightliness
and uselessness.. The dwarf, ignoring his horrible aspect of birth, followed the
orders of the young boy and started dancing and joking with the Infanta and the
children. On having seen that they all were laughing, he thought that it had fallen
them well for his playings and rapidly he fell in love with the infanta. But it did not
know that she and his friends were joking of his unsightliness.

When it ended the spectacle, the dwarf escabulló in the gardens of the castle and
started strolling sighing and thinking about the in love thing that it was of the
Infanta. He was thinking that would take her to him to the forest and they would
live united in the peace of the field, together with the animals, breathing pure air.
In it, it entered to a luxurious room, where there was an enormous mirror. Ignoring
totally what was, the dwarf approached and saw a horrible monster, and moved
back, this was reproduced by the reflection. The dwarf continued moving and the
monster copying it, without understanding what happened. When it realized that
it was the monster, it began to cry in a corner of the room, complaining that they
all were joking of him and that his father had sold.

Meanwhile, the infanta and his group came. She asked him to get up and to dance
again, but the dwarf continued crying. The infanta enraged and called his uncle
herself in order that it was raising and dancing it for her. But when the man went
to raise it, it could not, and said: " I am sorry, but this dwarf already is not going
to be able to dance nevermore, because the heart has broken " to what the
Infanta answered coldly: " From now on those who should come to play with me
who do not have heart". I liked this work much for his end, it was not hoping for
me that the infanta was treating that way to the dwarf poor person.

 SUMMARY 04: “THE FISHERMAN AND HIS SOUL”

A young fisherman fell in love with a mermaid and wanted to join her in her land
beneath the sea. The mermaid told him he could not be with her because he had
a soul and she did not. The fisherman swore to get rid of his soul for the mermaid's
love.

He visited a young witch who lived in the mountains. She gave him a magic knife
and told him to stand with the moon behind him and use it to cut the soul from his
feet. She said, "The shadow of the body is the body of the soul."

As the fisherman cut the soul from his feet the soul begged him not to separate
them. When the fisherman refused the soul asked that he also cut out his heart
and give it to the soul. "With what should I love my love if I gave thee my heart?
" the fisherman asked. When he was free from his soul the fisherman left to join
his mermaid under the sea. The soul, before he departed, told the fisherman that
he would return after a year and call to him.

The soul returned the next year and the year after that. Each time he offered the
fisherman some marvelous treasure he had found in exchange for joining with
him again. Each time the fisherman told him "love is greater." The third year the
soul offered to take the fisherman to a maiden who danced beautifully with naked
feet. The fisherman remembered that the mermaid had no feet and could not
dance. He agreed to join again with his soul provided that he could return within
a day to his little mermaid.

The soul, however, had tricked the fisherman. There was no dancing girl with
naked feet. The fisherman, when he realized this, tried to cut his soul from his
feet with the magic knife but it did not work. The soul said that a man may
separate his body from his soul only once in his life, never twice. The soul had
rejoined the body of the fisherman, but he could not enter his heart because it
was too full of love for the mermaid.
The fisherman mourned his lost mermaid for years. One day her dead body
washed up on the shore, and the tritons of the sea came to kill the fisherman for
deserting her. Just before he died his heart broke and the soul entered it. Finally,
they were truly one.

moon with the chest rested on my thorns, and the whole night; the thorns were
crossing your heart, your blood will run for my veins and this way it will form a red
rose with your blood. The nightingale accepted the sacrifice. And then it flew for
the garden and there it saw the young person who continued crying on the lawn.
And he said to him Be happy; you will have your red rose. I will create it with notes
of music to the moonlight and will dye her with the blood of my own heart, only I

and the nightingale was said he will understand the feelings, I am afraid that not

a red rose that in his life it had never seen, took it and removed it to his dear one;
this one despised her for that alone it was a simple rose and did not have value,
as the gift of jewels that I give him the nephew of the chamberlain. Young he said
to him ungrateful, and threw the rose in a creek and a heavy car squashed it, and
