The Little Prince, Chapters 21-22

  • "It's better to come at the same time," he said."Said the Fox." for example, if you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then from three o'clock I shall begin to feel happy.The closer I got to it, the happier I was.At four o'clock, I would fidget;I would find the price of happiness.However, if you come at any time, I do not know at what time to prepare my mood...... there should be a certain ceremony.”

"What is the ritual?The little prince asked.

This is also a long forgotten thing.“It is to make a day different from other days, to make a time different from other times.For example, my hunters have a ritual.They danced with the girls in the village every Thursday.So, Thursday is a good day!I can walk all the way to the vineyard.If the hunters dance all the time and all the time, then I have no holiday.”

So the Little Prince tamed the Fox.And when the time comes,:
"Ah!"Said the Fox.”
”It's your fault, "said the little prince“" I didn't want to give you any pain,but you wanted me to tame you……”
"Yes," he said."Said the Fox.
"You will cry!""Said The Little Prince.
"Of course," he said."Said the Fox.
"So you don't get anything.”
"Because of the color of wheat, I still get the benefits.""Said the Fox.
Then he went on.

"Go and see the roses.You will understand that your rose is unique in the world.When you come back and say goodbye, I'll give you a secret.”

So the little prince went to see the roses again.

"You are nothing like my rose, you are nothing yet!"Said the little prince to them."No one has tamed you, and you have not tamed anyone.You are like my Fox, which was only a fox like millions of other foxes.But now that I have made it my friend, it is now the only one in the world.”

At this moment, the roses looked very embarrassed.

"You are beautiful, but you are empty."The little prince is still saying to them," no one can die for you.Of course, my rose, an ordinary passer-by thought she was just like you.But she alone is more important than all of you, because she is my water.Because she is the one I put in the flower cover.Because she is I use the screen to protect.Because the caterpillar on her body(in addition to leaving only two or three in order to change the butterfly and outside) is I in addition to destroy.Because I have listened to her complaints and self-proclaimed, and even sometimes I have listened to her silence.Because she's my rose.”

He returned to the Fox.
"Good-bye," he said."Said The Little Prince.
"Good-bye."Said the Fox."Well, that's my secret.Very simple:only the heart can see clear.Substantial things with eyes are invisible.”

"Substantial things with the eyes are invisible.The Little Prince repeated the sentence so that he could remember it.

"Just because you spend time for your roses, it makes your roses so important.”

"Because you have spent time for your roses......" the Little Prince repeated, make yourself remember these.

"People have forgotten the truth," said the Fox, " but you should not forget it.You are now responsible for everything you have tamed.You're responsible for your roses.……”

"I will be responsible for my rose..." the Little Prince repeated.……

"Hello."Said The Little Prince.
"Hello."He said.
"What are you doing here?"Asked the Little Prince.

"I sort the passengers in one bag, one bag per 1,000 people," he said.The engineer said, " I send these trains carrying passengers, a moment to the right, a moment to the left."”

At this time, a bright lights of the train, thunderous, the pull room trembled trembling leisurely.

"They are in a hurry," said The Little Prince.”
"The person who started the car didn't know it," he said."He said.
Then the second train of the brightly lit Express drove in the opposite direction.
"Why did they come back?The little prince asked.
"They're not the same people," he said.“It's a one-off train, " the engineer said.”
"Are they not satisfied with the place where they used to live?”
"People are never happy with where they are," he said."He said.
At this time, the third trip bright lights of the express rumbled again.
"Are they following the first passengers?The little prince asked.
"They don't follow anything."They're sleeping inside or yawning.Only the children put their noses on the windows and looked out.”
"Only children know what they are looking for.The little prince said, " they spend a lot of time for a doll, this doll is a very important thing,if someone took their doll, they cry……”
"They're lucky," he said."He said.
