    He threw the red rose into a gutter  and going to his room. After that the cart was passing over the red rose and it was crashed under cart. The boy starting reading the books, he read logic and philosophy rather than emotion of love.

     

    The story converted into the tragic and of the Nightingale. We learn something from the nature that it "sacrifice" for us. The boy was reveled as a self centered and carefree nature. When he has not red rose he eagerly want it, but when he can't dance with the girl he threw it in a gutter. Boy forgot the sacrifice of the nightingale. 

     

    According to Oscar Wilde the real sacrifice is , 'for one you love and care most', nightingale love the boy so she gives her life to rose tree and make a red rose for him. Boy can't understand in his case that the girl can't dance with him then it's not wrong but because of love you do "sacrifice" for her.
