The Nightingale and the Rose Full Story | Oscar Wilde

Once upon a time, in a beautiful garden, there lived a Nightingale. She had a voice so sweet that it could enchant anyone who heard it. The Nightingale was known for her kindness and her love for true romance.

One evening, as the Nightingale sat on her branch, she overheard a young student lamenting about his unrequited love. The student was deeply in love with a beautiful girl, but she demanded a red rose as proof of his affection.

The Nightingale, filled with empathy, decided to help the student. She believed that true love deserved to be rewarded.

The Nightingale searched high and low for a red rose but couldn't find one. Until finally, she came across a rose tree. But the rose tree had no red roses, only white ones.

Nightingale: Oh, dear Rose Tree, won't you please give me a red rose? The student's heart is breaking, and I wish to help him.

Rose Tree: I'm sorry, Nightingale. I can only produce white roses. I can't grant your wish.

The Nightingale felt disheartened but didn't lose hope. She knew she had to do something extraordinary to create a red rose.

Nightingale: Oh, dear Thorn, would you please pierce my heart with your sharpest thorn? I need a drop of my blood to color a white rose red.

The Nightingale, driven by her selflessness and love, sacrificed herself for the red rose. And as her lifeblood seeped into the white rose, a miraculous transformation occurred.

The white rose transformed into the most beautiful red rose the world had ever seen, filled with the Nightingale's love and sacrifice.

The Nightingale's gift reached the hands of the young student, who was filled with joy as he finally had the red rose he needed.

The student rushed to the girl he loved and presented her with the red rose, hoping she would now return his affection.

However, the girl, unappreciative of the Nightingale's sacrifice, dismissed the red rose, leaving the student heartbroken.

As the Nightingale's lifeless body lay on the ground, her melodious voice silenced forever, the true meaning of her sacrifice became clear.

The girl, touched by the Nightingale's sacrifice, realized the value of true love and regretted her decision.

But it was too late. The Nightingale's song was lost forever, and her sacrifice would forever be a symbol of true love.

And so, the Nightingale's story became a reminder that true love is precious and sometimes comes at a great cost.

The Nightingale's song may have ended, but her story will forever echo in the hearts of those who understand the depth of love's sacrifice.
