FOREWORD
I ask the indulgence of the children who may read this book for dedicating it to a grown-up. I have a serious reason: he is the best friend I have in the world. I have another reason: this grown-up understands everything, even books about children. I have a third reason: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs cheering up. If all these reasons are not enough, I will dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown-up grew. All grown-ups were once children-- although few of them remember it. And so I correct my dedication:
To Leon Werth
when he was a little boy
I had an accident with my plane in the Desert of Sahara, six years ago. Something was broken in my engine.
And then I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me with great seriousness.
Story begins…
es from the where there is…
A rose
And he can see sunset forty-four times in a day.
Three volcanos
The prince wants to leave, and the rose says OK.
The little prince visits the king
The king orders the little prince to do everything. He says” I order you to yawn. I order you to sit down…”
The little prince visits the conceited man
For, to conceited men,
all other men are admirers.
The little prince visits the tippler
"What are you doing there?" he said to the tippler, whom he found settled down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottles.
"I am drinking," replied the tippler, with a lugubrious air.
