“Draw me a sheep,” the young man demands. The pilot draws a sheep, and then the conversation becomes stranger and stranger. Who is this little prince? Where does he come from? And why does he need a sheep?

As a boy of six I see this picture:

In the book, it says: “Snakes eat a big animal and then sleep for six months.”

I draw my first picture:

“Are you scared of this?” I ask some grown-ups.

“We’re not scared of a hat,” they say.

“It’s not a hat. It’s a snake with an elephant in it.”

Grown-ups don’t understand. They don’t want you to draw pictures. They want you to go to school.

I don’t draw pictures now. I fly airplanes.

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 4

8/11/16 10:22 AM

My airplane crashes in the Sahara Desert. I am alone and my airplane doesn’t fly. I need to repair it. I am two thousand kilometers from a house, and I have water for eight days.

The first evening I am sleeping.

I hear a voice.

“Please. Draw me a sheep.”

“What?”

“Draw me a sheep.”

I open my eyes.

I see a little prince.

“What are you doing here?” I ask.

“Please. Draw me a sheep.”

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 5

8/11/16 10:22 AM

“I can’t draw.”

“That’s not important. Draw me a sheep.”

I can’t draw a sheep. I draw the snake and the elephant.

“I don’t want an elephant in a snake. Elephants are very big. At home everything is small. I need a sheep.”

I draw this:

“That’s a box. Your sheep is in the box.”

“Good! Does this sheep eat a lot?”

“Why?” “Because everything is small at home.”

“It’s a very small sheep.”

6

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 6

8/11/16 10:22 AM

The little prince sees my airplane.

“What’s that?” he asks.

“An airplane.”

“You come from the sky too? Which planet?”

“Where is your home?” I ask. “Where are you going with the sheep?”

He looks at the drawing. “I like this box.” he answers. “It’s a house for my sheep.”

“I can draw a rope, too.”

“Why?” “So it doesn’t go away.”

The little prince laughs. “My planet is very small.”

There are big planets: Jupiter, Mars, and so on.

But there are thousands of small planets. When people see a new one, they give it a number.

The little prince’s planet is B 612.

8/11/16 10:22 AM

On the third day the little prince asks: “Do sheep eat plants?”

“Yes, they do.”

“So they eat baobabs,” he says.

“But,” I say, “baobabs are very big trees. Ten elephants can’t eat a baobab.”

The little prince laughs. “But a baobab is a small plant first.”

On the little prince’s planet there are good plants and bad plants. You want the good plants, but you don’t want the bad plants.

8

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 8

8/15/16 1:13 PM

There are baobabs on the little prince’s planet. You pull up a baobab when it is small. If you don’t, they get big. A lot of baobabs can break the planet.

“I get up and wash in the morning,” says the little prince. “Then I clean the planet carefully. I pull up all the little baobabs. It’s boring, but it isn’t difficult.

Here is a planet with some big baobabs:

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 9

8/11/16 10:23 AM

On the fifth day, the little prince asks. “Do sheep eat flowers?”

“A sheep eats everything.”

“A flower with thorns?”

“Yes.” “Why do flowers have thorns then?”

I am under my airplane and I am worried about water.

“My flower thinks it’s safe because of the thorns. What do you think?”

“I don’t know,” I say angrily. “I’m working.

It’s important.”

“Important!” says the little prince. “You talk like a grown-up. There’s a beautiful flower on my planet.

My sheep can eat it. That’s important!”

He starts to cry.

“O.K.,” I say. “I can draw a muzzle for your sheep.”

10

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 10

8/15/16 1:14 PM

The little prince tells me: “There are flowers on my planet. And,” he says, “one day a beautiful new flower appears, with four thorns.”

“It’s time for breakfast,” she says to the little prince.

The little prince gives her some water.

“Why do you have thorns?” he asks one day.

“Tigers can come and eat me,” says the flower.

“There aren’t any tigers here.”

“I’m not scared of tigers. I have thorns. But I don’t like the cold. At night please put a glass bowl over me. It’s cold on your planet.”

The little prince tells me: “My flower is very vain.

She wants to be right all the time.”

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 11

11

8/11/16 10:23 AM

One day it’s time for the little prince to go.

He gets up and cleans his volcanoes. He has three volcanoes, and sometimes they cook breakfast for him.

He pulls up some baobabs and gives the flower some water.

“Goodbye,” he says.

“I’m sorry,” says the flower. “I’m vain and stupid.”

“Do you want the glass bowl over you?”

“No. I don’t need it. I like the cold now and I have my thorns. Now go, and be happy.”

12

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 12

8/11/16 10:23 AM

The little prince is near planets 325, 326, 327, 328, 229, and 330.

On the first planet, there is a king with beautiful clothes.

“Come here!” says the king.

The little prince is tired. “Can I sit down?” he asks.

“I order you to sit down.”

The king likes to order people. He orders them to do what they want. But the planet is very small and there is no chair for the little prince.

“I want to go now,” he says.

“I order you to go,” says the king.

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 13

13

8/11/16 10:23 AM

On the second planet is a very vain man.

“Ah, an admirer!” he says. For vain people, everyone is an admirer.

“Hello,” says the little prince. “You have an interesting hat.”

“Clap your hands!”

The little prince claps.

The vain man takes off his hat.

The little prince claps again. The vain man takes off his hat again.

“Am I the most interesting man on the planet?”

“You are the only man on the planet,” says the little prince.

14

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 14

8/15/16 1:16 PM

On the next planet is a drinker.

He has a lot of bottles.

“What are you doing?” asks the little prince.

“I’m drinking.”

“Why are you drinking?”

“To forget.”

“To forget what?”

“To forget that I drink.”

The little prince is sad, and confused.

On the fourth planet there is a businessman.

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 15

8/15/16 1:16 PM

“Two and three are five. Five and seven, twelve. Hello. Fifteen and seven, twenty-two. That’s five hundred and one million, six hundred and twenty-two thousand, seven hundred and one.”

“Five hundred million what?”

“No time to talk. This is important.”

“Five hundred million what?”

“Millions of those little things in the sky.”

“The stars? Why do you count them?”

“I have a lot of stars. I’m rich. I want to buy more stars.”

“But what do you do with your stars?”

“I count them.”

16

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 16

8/11/16 10:23 AM

The fifth planet is very small. There is a lamp and a lamplighter.

“Why,” thinks the little prince, “is there a lamp and a lamplighter on a planet with no people? It’s beautiful.

He lights his lamp and it is like a new star. His lamp goes out, and a star goes to sleep. It’s useful because it’s beautiful.”

“The planet turns every minute,” says the lamplighter.

“I light my lamp every minute. I can’t sleep!”

“It’s difficult for him,” thinks the little prince. “But I like him. He doesn’t think about himself.”

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 17

17

8/11/16 10:23 AM

The sixth planet is big. The man there writes big books.

“What’s that book?” asks the little prince.

“I’m a geographer. I write about cities, mountains, and deserts.”

“This is a beautiful planet,” says the little prince.

“Are there any mountains or deserts?”

“I don’t know. I’m not an explorer. Geographers don’t move. Explorers come and talk to us. Talk to me about your planet.”

“It’s very small,” says the little prince.

“There are three volcanoes. And there’s a flower.”

“Volcanoes!” says the geographer.

“That’s interesting. But I’m not interested in flowers.”

18

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 18

8/15/16 1:16 PM

Finally, the seventh planet is Earth.

No people. Something yellow in the sand.

“Hello,” says the little prince.

“Hello,” says the snake.

“Where am I?” “On Earth, in Africa.”

“Where are the people?”

“There are no people in a desert.”

“I’m alone when there are no people,” says the little prince.

“You’re alone with millions of people,” says the snake.

“You’re very small, and you have no legs.”

“I help people,” says the snake. He is around the little prince’s leg. “I bite people and they go back home. One day, I can help you go home.”

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 19

8/11/16 10:23 AM

The little prince walks across the desert.

The little prince walks across the desert.

There's a garden.

There’s a garden.

“Hello,” say the roses.

“Hello,” say the roses.

These flowers are the same as his flower.

“What are you?” he asks.

“We’re roses.”

The little prince is sad. His flower is not special.

There are five thousand roses in one garden.

“My flower is not special. I have a rose and three volcanoes. I’m not an important prince.” He sits down and cries.

20

Then he sees the fox.

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 20

8/15/16 1:26 PM

“Hello. You’re very beautiful! What are you?”

“I’m a fox.”

“Come and play with me.

I’m sad.”

“I can’t,” says the fox. “I’m a wild animal. But give me some time and we can be friends.”

“I understand. I have a flower, and I give her my time. We are friends.”

“Yes,” says the fox. “You give time to the flower, and the flower is important to you. She is special.”

Then the fox says: “We can’t see important things.

We feel them in our hearts. Grown-ups don’t understand that.”

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 21

21

8/11/16 10:23 AM

I listen to all of the little prince’s stories. But it is now my eighth day in the desert.

“We have no water,” I say to him.

“Let’s go find a well,” says the little prince.

I look at the desert. There is nothing, only sand. We walk across the sand.

“The desert is beautiful,” says the little prince.

“It is.”

“Deserts are beautiful because there is always a well.”

We walk all night. The little prince is tired and I carry him. And in the morning, there is a well.

We drink.

“Don’t forget the muzzle for my sheep,” says the little prince.

I draw it.

22

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 22

8/15/16 1:34 PM

“It’s nearly time to go home,” says the little prince.

“Go back to your airplane. Come back here tomorrow evening.”

The next evening I walk back to the well. There’s an old wall next to it. The little prince is on the wall, and he is talking: “Today is the day.”

“Yes,” says a voice.

“You can go home tonight.”

Then I see it. A small yellow snake. It can kill you in thirty seconds.

It goes away into the sand.

23

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 23

8/15/16 1:34 PM

The little prince comes down from the wall. “I’m happy that your airplane is O.K.” he says. “Now you can go home, too.”

“How do you know?” I ask. But it’s true. My plane can fly now.

“I can go home tonight. I have your sheep. And its box. And its muzzle.”

I look at him. “You’re scared, aren’t you?”

“Tonight my planet is above us. I can go home. And I can give you something,” he laughs. “When you look at the stars, you know that I am there. And I’m laughing for you.”

24

CS1-ING-PR3-4023-2-LITTLE PRINCE-LA-M16.indd 24

8/11/16 10:23 AM

He takes my hand: “It’s a long way. I can’t take my body. It’s too big. My body is just an old skin, like the skin of an orange. I need to see my flower. She only has four thorns.”

“Now,” he says. I see something yellow near his foot. Then he falls, like a tree.

Today, six years later, when I see the night sky, I think about the little prince on his planet. And I think about the sheep and the flower. Is the flower safe? Is the sheep eating it?

Grown-ups don’t understand these important questions.
