the remarkable rocket the happy prince and other tales

“However, I shall cry if I please, for the thought of the prince missing out on my display is deeply saddening!” I am very important and logical after all,” the Rocket gloated. “Well, if that is true, then I would know. “Yes, that is very important and only logical,” agreed the Catharine Wheel. “You had better stay dry if you have any plans to fly,” the Roman Candle murmured. It is almost enough for me to cry,” the Rocket emotionally explained. Their marriage would result in failure without such a magnificent beginning. For example, I have just thought of how awful it would be if the prince were to miss out on my show. You should regard others’ feelings, such as that of myself. “That seems selfish of you, to be happy at others’ expenses. “Why are you laughing?” the Rocket questioned. I am always aware of my own feelings, thus proving that I am capable of understanding feelings to the highest degree.”Īt once, the Roman Candle burst into laughter. “In fact, I happen to be highly sensitive to feelings. “Well, I am one of charity,” the Rocket assured. It is hard to see how you are able to hang around lowly subjects as the rest of us,” the Catharine Wheel mockingly replied. “That is a very nice background that you come from. However, he was a nice Rocket, so he did eventually come down,” bragged the Rocket. People thought that he would never come down because he flew so high.

My father was a Rocket like myself, French in fact. Do not even get me started on my father! Then again, you all in your ignorance need to hear it. “A mere Rocket! Do you not know who I am? My mother was one of the most highly acclaimed Catharine Wheels of her day! She was best of all in the art of dancing. I cannot believe that you, a mere Rocket, can insist that you are more important than the King’s son,” replied a Squib. “You are completely ridiculous, my friend. “Well then again, princes usually are lucky.” The light I let off will be nothing short of remarkable! How very lucky they are to be wed on the same day that I am to be released,” the Rocket shrieked. “Blasphemy! Everyone knows that they are being wed in honor of me! After all, when I am set off, no one will even remember that the Prince has been wed. We are going to be set off in honor of them,” the Catharine Wheel annoyingly replied.

“I know that you are used to thinking highly of yourself, but the night is not about you. “You are not the only one who is in line for a showing tonight,” retorted the Roman Candle. She has never seen fireworks before, and I’ll be sure not to disappoint!” “The King’s son has finally married and it is up to me to give his bride a grand show. “Oh what an exciting day it is for me!” exclaimed the Rocket.
