"I'm glad you found what your machine is missing.You'll be home soon.……”
"How do you know that?”
I came to tell him that, without any hope, I succeeded in completing the repair work.
Instead of answering my question, he went on:
"I, too, shall go home today……”
Then he said Sadly:
"It's much more difficult for me to go home ... ……”
I clearly felt that something unusual had happened.I held him in my arms as a child, but I felt him sinking straight into a bottomless pit, and I thought of him, but I could not do it……
His eyes were very serious, looking far away.
"I have the sheep you drew, the box of the sheep and the sleeve of the sheep's mouth……”
He smiled with a sad look.
I waited a long time before I realized that he was getting warm.
"Little fellow, you're frightened……”
He's scared, that's for sure!He smiled tenderly.:
"Tonight, I'll be more afraid.……”
- I realized once again that something irreparable was going to happen.I feel my heart is cold at once.Then I realized:I couldn't bear the thought of not being able to hear it again.The laughter seemed to me to be the oasis of the desert.
"Little guy, I want to hear you laugh……”
But he said to me,:
"It's been a good year," he said.My planet will be right above where I landed last year.……”
"The little guy, the snake thing, the dating thing, and the stars, it's all a nightmare?"”
But he did not answer my question.He said to me,:
"The important things are invisible……”
"Of course.……”
"It's like a flower.If you fall in love with a flower that grows on a star, then at night, you look at the sky and feel sweet and happy.All the stars seemed open.”
"Of course.……”
"It is like water, because of the reel and the rope, you give me water like music...... do you remember?…...This water is very good.……”
"Of course.……”
"At night, you look up at the stars, mine is too small, I can't point you where my star is."It's better that way.You may think that my star is among them.Well, all the stars you will love to see...these stars will all become your friends.Besides, I'm going to give you a gift.……”
He smiled again.
"Ah!Little fellow, little fellow, I love to hear you laugh!”
"This is exactly the gift I gave you.... it's like water."”
"What are you talking about?”
"The stars are not all the same in people's eyes.For travelers, the stars are the guide.For others, the stars are just a little light.For other scholars, the stars are what they explore.For the industrialist I met, the stars were money.But all these stars will not talk.And you, your stars will never be the same.……”
"What are you talking about?”
- "The night, when you look at the sky, since I live on one of the stars, since I smile on one of the stars, then for you, as if all the stars are laughing, then you will see
The stars are the laughing stars!”
Then he smiled again.
- "Well, after you've been comforted(people will always be comforted) you'll be glad to know me.You will always be my friend.You'll want to laugh with me.Sometimes you open the window unknowingly for pleasure.Your friends will look at you strangely with a smile looking up at the sky.Then you can say to them, ' yes, the stars always make me laugh!'They'll think you're crazy.My mischief will embarrass you.……”
Then he smiled again.
"It's as if I didn't give you the stars, but gave you a bunch of little bells that would laugh out loud……”
He was still smiling.And then he got serious.:
"Tonight...... you know...... don't come.”
"I'm not leaving you.”
"I'm going to feel like I'm going to die," he said.That's the way it is. don't look at it. it's not necessary.”
"I'm not leaving you.”
But he was worried.
"I say this to you......it is because of the snake.Don't let it bite you......the snake is very bad, it bites at random……”
"I'm not leaving you.”
At this point, he seemed a little relieved.:
"By the way, there was no venom when it bit the second bite.……”
I did not see him depart that night.He ran away without warning.When I finally caught up with him, he walked fast and firmly.He just said it to me.:
"Ah, there you are.……”
So he took my hand.But he's still worried.:
'You shouldn't have.You'll be miserable.I'd be dead, but that's not true.……”
I am silent.
"You know, it's a long way.I can't take this body with me.It's too heavy.”
I remain silent.
"But it's like peeling off the old bark.Old bark, and nothing sad.”
I'm still silent.
He was a little deflated.But he's back on his feet.:
"It would be nice, you know.I will certainly look at the stars.All the stars will be well with a rusty reel.All the stars will pour water for me to drink.……”
I'm still silent.
"It would be so fun!"You'll have 500 million bells. I'll have 500 million Wells.……”
At this time, he also was silent, because he was crying.
"Here it is.Let me take one step on my own.”
He sat down at this moment because he was afraid.And he still says,:
"You know......my flower...... I am responsible for her!And she is so weak!She was so naive.She had only four tiny spines to protect herself against the enemy.……”
I also sat down because I could not stand any longer.He said,:
"That's it," he said.……”
He hesitated, then stood up.He took a step.And I couldn't move.
He fell gently on the ground like a tree, probably because of the sand, not even a sound.
A yellow light flashed near his ankle bone.For a moment he did not move.He did not yell.He fell gently on the ground like a tree, probably because of the sand, not even a sound.
XXVII
It's been six years now.... I've never told this story.The companions saw me again, and rejoiced that they could see me come back alive.I was sad.I told them: "it's because of fatigue.……”
Now, I get a little comfort.That is...... has not completely calmed down.But I know he's back on his planet.For I did not see his body at the dawn of the day.His body is not so heavy....... since then, I love listening to the stars in the night, as if listening to five hundred million bells……
But now something unusual has happened.I painted the Little Prince sheep mouth put on, Forgot to draw the belt!He could no longer wrap it in a sheep's mouth.So, I thought, " what happened on his planet?"Maybe the lamb ate the flowers.……”
Sometimes I say to myself, " absolutely not!The Little Prince covered his flowers with a glass cover every night, and he would look after the sheep ... Then all the stars chuckle softly.
Suddenly I said to myself: "sometimes people will always be negligent, that is enough!"One night he forgot the glass, or the Lamb ran out at night without warning...... " Think Of Here, the small bell has become a teardrop!
It's really a big mystery.For you who like the little prince, as for me, wherever, wherever, if a sheep (though we do not know it), eat a Rose, or not eat a rose, the face of the universe is completely different.
You look at the sky.Think about it: did the sheep eat or not eat the flowers?Then you'll see that everything has changed.……
Any adult will never understand how important this problem is!
- In my opinion, this is the most beautiful and desolate scenery in the world.The previous page is the same as the previous page.I did it again to get your attention.Here, the little prince appeared on the Earth, and then disappeared.One day, if you are going to travel to the African desert, please be careful to recognize this view, so as not to be missed.If you have a chance to pass through there, I implore you not to leave in a hurry, waiting for a moment under this star.If a child comes to you, if he smiles, if he has blond hair, and does not answer other people's questions, you can guess who he is.Then, excuse me!Don't make me so sad all the time, write me quickly; he's back……
