The swallow was going to Italy but ge stop with the statue of the happy prince because happy prince requested her to help him

The swallow in the story "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde was going to Egypt for the winter. However, on his way, he noticed a beautiful statue of a prince standing high above the city on a tall column. The statue was covered in gold leaf, with sapphires for eyes and a large ruby on its sword hilt. The swallow was captivated by the statue's beauty and decided to rest at its feet for the night before continuing his journey.

The statue of the prince was situated in a square, surrounded by poor and suffering people. The swallow noticed a seamstress crying because she had to finish sewing a dress for the Queen but did not have any red silk. The swallow was moved by her plight and decided to help. He plucked the ruby from the prince's sword and dropped it into the seamstress's window. She was overjoyed to find the ruby and was able to buy the red silk she needed to complete the dress.

The next day, the swallow saw a young playwright who was starving and shivering in the cold. The playwright had sold his play but did not have any money to buy food or a warm coat. The swallow decided to help him too. He plucked one of the prince's sapphires and dropped it into the playwright's hand. With the money from selling the sapphire, the playwright was able to buy food and a coat to keep warm.

As the days went by, the swallow continued to help the poor and suffering people of the city. He plucked out the prince's eyes, which were made of sapphires, and gave them to a poor matchgirl who was freezing in the winter cold. He also stripped the gold leaf off the prince's body and gave it to a starving mother and her sick child.

Through these selfless acts, the swallow's body became weaker and weaker, and he knew that he would never be able to continue his journey to Egypt. When winter came, the swallow passed away, and his lifeless body fell at the feet of the prince's statue.

The prince, now stripped of all his gold and jewels, asked the swallow to stay with him forever. Touched by the swallow's sacrifice and love for the people, an angel took the swallow's soul to paradise. The prince's heart also broke, and the leaden heart inside him cracked. The angel then took the prince's broken heart to join the swallow in paradise.

In this way, the swallow's choice to stop at the prince's statue and help the suffering people of the city led to a chain of selfless acts and ultimately brought both the swallow and the prince eternal happiness in paradise.
