The story of the prince and his rose is a parable (a story that teaches a lesson) about the nature of real love.
The prince leaves his planet because of the rose; the rose permeates the prince’s discussions with the narrator; and eventually, the rose becomes the reason the prince wants to return to his planet.
The narrator responds with compassion to the prince’s concern about the sheep from the beginning, setting his tools aside and rushing to comfort the prince in Chapter VII, when the little prince cries out that the question of whether his sheep eats his rose is much more important than the narrator’s plane.

 TANGMONKEY.COM [ REVIEW: Oscar Wilde: The Happy Prince and Other Stories ]
There is the story of the Nightingale, who gives up her life to make a rose grow, so that a young student might bring it to his lover.
These are stories of suffering and salvation, and there are Christian undertones to every one, but they are too beautifully written to ever come across as corny or clichéd.
These stories were written in 1888, and as a result are not always politically correct — for instance, Libya is a place from which evil magicians come, and at one point an emperor casually kills his Negro slave.
