Le Petit Prince

This sheep is already very sickly.

That this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns. <

This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time.

This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside. <

the little prince came from an asteroid known as B-612. <

This asteroid has only once been seen by a Turkish astronomer, in 1909.

The idea of the herd of elephants made the little prince laugh.

there were on the planet where the little prince lived good plants and bad plants.

I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes...

one loves the sunet, when one is so sad...

Somewhere, my flower is there...

Oh! How beautiful you are!

to look for a sprinkling-can of fresh water. So, he tended the flower.

I suppose you wouldn't have a screen for me?

I am not at all afraid of tigers, but I have a horror of drafts. Let the tigerscome with their claws!

At night I want you to put me under a glass globe. It is very cold where you live.

On the morning of his departure he put his planet into perfect order

The first of them was inhabited by a king.

The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man. <

I am drinking so that I may forget that I am ashamed of drinking!

I can't stop... I have so much to do! I am concerned with matters of consequence.

The Earth is not just an ordinary planet! ...about 2,000,000,000 grown-ups.

You are a funny animal, he said at last. You are no thicker than a finger...

The little prince crossed the desert and met with only one flower.

I am all alone...all alone...all alone, answered the echo.

A common rose, and three volcanoes...that doesn't make me a very great prince...

But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. <

It has done me good, said the fox, because of the color of the wheat fields.

What is essential is invisible to the eye

I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water

The wells of the Sahara are mere holes dug in the sand <

Now go away, said the little prince. I want to get down from the wall.

He got away from me without making a sound.

You know, my flower, I am responsible for her.

He did not cry out. He fell as gently as a tree falls. <

This is, to me, the loveliest and saddest landscape in the world.
