le petit prince

short cuts of the chapters

introduction dedicated to my best friend leon werth, who understands everything and was once a child himself. he lives in france, he is hungry and cold. he needs cheering up.

chapter 01

as a 6-years old child he saw in " true stories from nature " about the primeval forest a boa constrictor swallowing an animal (rat/mouse).

drawing number 1: asking the grown-ups if they were frightened, but they weren't because they thought is was a hat: "that's a hat".

drawing number 2: a x-ray of number one, revealing an elephant within a boa constrictor.

they advise me to stop drawing and learn geography, history, arithmetic and grammar.
he learned to pilot airplanes.

chapter 02

day 1. crash in the sahara (6 years ago).
day 2. draw me a sheep. (the sudden appearance of the little prince,

who was on his way to the place, where he landed (almost one year ago).

when a mystery is too overpowering, one dare not disobey.

sheep 1 is already very sickly.
sheep 2 that's not a sheep, it has horns.
sheep 3 is to old.

this is only his box, the sheep you asked for is inside. has it to eat a great deal of grass? because my planet is very small.

chapter 03

so you come from the sky, where is your planet? on that you can't have come from far (with that plane).

the box you gave me can serve as a house in the night.
i will give you a string too, to tie the sheep during the day. where i live everything is so small. straight ahead of him? nobody can go very far (hint maybe for his sadness?).

chapter 04

asteroid 324? in the neighbourhood of asteroid 325-330. probably the same as the asteroid b-612, discovered by a turkish astronomer in 1909 but rejected on the congress because he was in turkish costume. in 1920 accepted accepted because he was in european costume than.

questions about essential matters.

to forget a friend is sad, not everyone has a friend. i have bought a box of paints and some pencils.

chapter 05

is it true that sheep eat little bushes? then it follows they eat also baobabs? boababs are trees big as castles and that even if he took a whole herd of elephants, the herd will not eat a single baobab.

the little prince made a wise comment:

before they grow so big, the baobabs start out by being little.

chapter 06

day 4. i am very fond of sunsets. once he saw 44 sunsets. sun cheers up someone. you know one loves the sunset when one is so sad.

chapter 07

day 5. if a sheep eat little bushes, does it eat flowers too? even flowers that has thorns? what use they are then?

flowers have thorns just for spite.

i don't believe you, flowers are weak creatures, they are naive. they believe that their thorns are terrible weapons.

matters of consequences?
i know a planet where was a certain red-faced gentleman (businessman). he only add up, never saw…............he is a mushroom.

the flower you love is not in danger, i will draw you a muzzle for your sheep. i will draw you a railing to put around your sheep.

it is such a secret place the land of tears.

chapter 08

the flowers had been always simple. they only had one ring of petals. they were a trouble for nobody.

one day from a seed blown - no one knew were - a new flower had come up (maybe a new kind of a baobab).

a coquettish beautiful vain and demanding rose with 4 thorns:
let the tigers come with their claws. i have a horror for drafts. put me under a glass globe in the night, because….......than she lied (from the planet i come….......) a naïve untruth. she had come in the form of a seed, she could not know anything of any other worlds and the little prince had soon come to doubt her.

the fact is that i did not know how to understand anything:
i ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. flowers are so inconsistent. but i was too young to know how to love her.

chapter 09

for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds.

there were 2 active volcanoes (heating his breakfast) and 1 extinct volcano (he used as a footstool). he cleaned them up and also the last shoots of the baobabs. he watered his flower for the last time and prepared to place her under the shelter of the glass globe

and said goodbye.

i have been silly, i ask your forgiveness. try to be happy. let the glass globe be. i must endure 2 or 3 caterpillars, if i wish to become acquainted with the butterflies. i am not afraid i have my claws.

don't linger like this, you have decided to go, now go. she was such a proud flower.

chapter 10

the 1° planet asteroid 325: the king,
proud of being at last a king over somebody. to them all men are subjects. the entire planet was crammed/obstructed by the magnificent ermine robe.

the "reasonable" demands of the king.

for what the king fundamentally insisted upon was that his authority should be respected.

if you succeeded to judge yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.

the king rules over anything, the planets/stars, the sunsets. i make you my minister of justice.

somewhere there is a rat, you will judge him, condemn him to death and you will pardon him,
because he is the only subject

chapter 11

the 2° planet asteroid 326: the vain conceited man.
clap your hands. conceited people never hear anything but praise. do you admire me as the hand- somest, best-dressed, richest and most intelligent man on this planet? but you are the only man on your small planet!

chapter 12

the 3° planet asteroid 327: the drunkard (tippler).
a collection of half empty/full bottles. i am drinking, so i may forget that i am ashamed of drinking.

(comment: i am drinking, so i may forget how much i already drunk)

chapter 13

the 4° planet asteroid 328: the businessman,
counting the stars (that little glittering things, maybe ducats?). 22 years ago i was disturbed by some giddy goose who felt from sky, i made 4 mistakes in my addition. 11 years ago i was disturbed by an attack of rheumatism and now by you. i own the stars (kings do not own, the reign over).
i own them because i was the first who think on it.

chapter 14

the 5° planet asteroid 329: the lamplighter.
when he lights his streetlamp, it is if he brought one more star to life or one flower. a beautiful occupation, it is truly useful. why? because orders are orders. a day last only one minute. the little prince felt that he loves this lamplighter, who was so faithful to his orders. i can tell you a way you can rest whenever you want to: your planet is so small that 3 strides will take you all the way around it. to be always in the sunshine you need only to walk along rather slowly. the one thing i love in live is to sleep. then you are unlucky. the little prince regret, there is no room for two people and also that there were every day 1440 sunsets.

chapter 15

the 6° planet asteroid 330: the geographer
330 was ten times larger than the last one (329) and inhabitated by an old gentleman who wrote voluminous books. the geographer is a scolar who knows the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains, and deserts. he collects information from an explorer and than investigates the explorer's character.

we do not record flowers, because they are ephemeral.
his first moment of regret and i left her on my planet all alone. what place you advise me to visit now? the planet earth (the 7° planet), it has a good reputation.

chapter 16

so then the 7° planet was the earth.
earth is not just an ordinary planet.

111 kings, 7000 geographers, 900.000 businessmen, 7.500.000 tipplers, 311.000.000 conceited man and ± 2.000.000.000 grown-ups.

before the invention of the electricity

462.511 lamplighters were needed for the street lamps in nz/au, china/siberia, russia/india, africa/ europe, s/n america. only the lamplighters in the n/s pole would be busy twice a year.

chapter 17

men occupies a very small place upon the earth.
standing upright on a square of 20² miles and could be piled up on a small pacific islet.

the grown-ups will not believe you,
they imagine that they fill a great deal of space. they fancy themselves as important as the baobabs.

arrival in the desert,
where a coil of gold, the colour of the moonlight flashes across the sand: he meets a snake. this is desert there are no people in the desert. the earth is large. what has brought you here? i have been having trouble with a flower. you are not thicker than a finger. i am more powerful than the finger of a king. you are not very powerful. you even haven't feet. you cannot even travel. i can carry you farther than any ship could take you. whomever i touch i send back to the earth from whence he came. but you are innocent and true and you come from a star. you move me to pitty, you are so weak on this earth. i can help you someday, if you grow to homesick for your own planet. but why do you speak always in riddles? i solve them all said the snake.

chapter 18

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

it was a flower with three petals,
a flower of no account at all. where are the men? the flower had once seen a caravan passing. i think there were 6 or 7 caravans in her existence. the wind blows them away, they don't have roots and that makes their life very difficult.

chapter 19

the little prince climbed a high mountain

the only mountains he ever had know were the 3 volcanoes, which came up to his knees. he used the extinct volcano as a footstool and the other two to warm his breakfest but he saw nothing save peaks of rocks that were sharpened like needles.

the echo was interpreted by the little prince
as simple people, that repeated only his words. on my planet i had a flower, she always was the first to speak.

chapter 20

the little prince came at last on a road
and all roads lead to the abodes of men. he was standing before a garden all a-bloom with roses,

they all looked like his flower.
he was overcome with sadness, because his flower had told him that she was the only one of her kind in all the universe.

she would be very annoyed,
would cough most dreadfully and she would pretend that she was dying, to avoid being laughed at.
and i should be obliged to pretend that i was nursing her back to life for if i did not do that, to humble myself also, she would really allow herself to die.

he lays in the grass and cried.

chapter 21

it was then that the fox appeared.
i am right here under the apple tree. i am a fox, come and play with me, i am so unhappy.

i can not play with you, i am not tamed.
it is an act too often neglected. it means to establish ties. if you tame me then we shall need each other. to me you will be unique in all the world, to you i shall be unique in all the world. i am beginning to understand. there is a flower i think that she has tamed me. my life is very monotonous said the fox, please tame me, if you want a friend. words are the source of misunderstandings. rites are important.

and now here is my secret,
a very simple secret:

1. it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
2. the time you have wasted for your rose, that makes your rose so important.
3. but you must not forget it, you become responsible forever for what you have tamed. you are responsible for your rose.

chapter 22

the railway switchman.
i sort out travellers in bundles of thousand. i send of the trains that carries them, now to the right, now to the left. they are always in a big hurry. but they don't know what are they looking for. only the children know what they're looking for.

chapter 23

the merchant (salesclerk),
selling thirst quenching pills. one pill a week will save a tremendous amount of time. with this pills you save 53 minutes every week. if i had 53 minutes to spend as i liked, i should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.

chapter 24

day 8. the pilot runs out of water.
they walk together to look for the water.

water maybe also good for the heart.

the stars are beautiful because of a flower that cannot be seen. what makes the desert beautiful
because is that somewhere it hides a well. what give them their beauty is something that is invisible.

he took the sleeping prince in his arms
and he told himself what i see here is nothing than an empty shell. what is most important is invisible.

what moves me so deeply is his loyalty to a flower, the imagine of a rose that shines through his whole being like the flame of a lamp. he found the well at daybreak.

chapter 25

men set out their ways in express trains,
but they do not know what they are looking for. it is not worth the trouble. strange, everything of the "village-well" is ready for use and it is singing, because we woke it. i am thirsty for this water.
the sweetness of water revives the heart.

men raises 5000 roses in the same garden
but the eyes are blind. one must look with the heart.

you must keep your promises
to draw a the muzzle for my sheep. i am responsible for this flower.

you have plans that i do not know about.
my descent to the earth, tomorrow will be its anniversary. so it was not by chance that i met you one week ago, you were on your way back to the place were you landed.

and the pilot got sad.

now you must return to your engine. i will waiting for you here, come back tomorrow evening.

chapter 26

beside the well there was a ruin of an old stone wall.

the little prince was talking to the snake:
it is the right day, but this is not the place. you have good poison? you are sure that it makes me suffer too long? now go away, i want to get down from the wall.

the pilot catches the little man in his arms.
i am glad you found what was the matter with your engine. now, you can go back home, i, too, am going back home today. tonight it will be a year….. my star then can be found right above the place where i came to the earth.

the thing that is important is the thing not seen.

it is just like my flower. if you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. all the stars are a-bloom with flowers. and at night you will look up at the stars, my star will just be one of the stars, for you. and so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens, they will all be your friends.

and besides i am going to make you a present.
my laughter will be as it was when we drank the water. all men have stars but they are silent. you alone will have stars as no one else has them.

in one of the stars i shall be living.
in one of them i shall be laughing and so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night: you, only you will have stars that can laugh it will be as if - in place of the stars -
i had given you a great number of bells that knew how to laugh.

tonight, you know, do not come,
it is not worth the trouble. i tell you this because of the snake, he must not bite you too.

ah! there you are.
it was wrong of you to come, you will suffer. i will look as if i am dead and that will not be true. you know my flower, i am responsible for her. than the snake bites.

chapter 27

and now six years have already gone by.
i was sad and also comforted a bit because i didn't find his body at daybreak. at night i love to listen to the stars. it is like 5 hundred million little bells.

when i draw the muzzle,
i forgot to add the leather strap to it, he never have been able to fasten it on his sheep, so i wonder: has the sheep eaten his flower? has the little prince shut his flower under her glass globe at night?

but then the little bells are changed to tears.
look up at the sky and ask yourself yes or no? has the sheep eaten the flower? and you will see how everything changes.

no grown-up will ever understand that

this is a matter of big importance

chapter XXVIII

“hello”

the little prince looked around, but

he couldn’t see, where the voice came from.

“hello, i am here in the riverwater,

my name is ella, the salmon fish”.

the little prince bent foreover and

than he saw the salmon with her mouth open.

her words came as waterbubbles in the air.

the little prince became wet bit by bit.

"come here and play with me

and i will be your friend", said the little prince.

the fish spit some bubblewater out

and said: ”i can’t come there”.

the little prince was amazed and spoke:

”why do you neglect my order?”.

“why, well” she said

“i wouldn’t survive overthere without water”.

the little prince sank in a deep reflexion

and said after some time:

”i get you a pail with water”.

the salmon fish laughed and replied:

”even in a enormous pail i wouldn’t survive,

i need streaming water, to swimm streamupwards,

it is my task and duty to lay eggs”.

“i only dropped by to say you goodbye and ........................

to tell you that not only simple petaled flowers needs water”.

than she splashed her tail on the water and she became invisible.

the little prince got serious sad and cried because

the salmon fish remembered him on his lovable flower.

curious reflected the little prince for a while,

curious, am i dreaming? i thought i was in the desert.

curious that the rememberance of my flower caused a fata morgana

or maybe a reinforcement of my longings and wishes.

the little prince sighted and enjoyed the refreshment in his mind.

chapter XXVI

beside the well there was the ruin of an old stone wall. when i came back from my work, the next evening, i saw from some distance away my little prince sitting on top of a wall, with his feet dangling. and i heard him say: "then you don't remember. this is not the exact spot." another voice must have answered him, for he replied to it: "yes, yes! it is the right day, but this is not the place." i continued my walk toward the wall. at no time did i see or hear anyone. the little prince, however, replied once again: "--exactly. you will see where my track begins, in the sand. you have nothing to do but wait for me there. i shall be there tonight." i was only twenty meters from the wall, and i still saw nothing. after a silence the little prince spoke again: "you have good poison? you are sure that it will not make me suffer too long?" i stopped in my tracks, my heart torn asunder; but still i did not understand. "now go away," said the little prince. "i want to get down from the wall." i dropped my eyes, then, to the foot of the wall--and i leaped into the air. there before me, facing the little prince, was one of those yellow snakes that take just thirty seconds to bring your life to an end. even as i was digging into my pocked to get out my revolver i made a running step back. but, at the noise i made, the snake let himself flow easily across the sand like the dying spray of a fountain, and, in no apparent hurry, disappeared, with a light metallic sound, among the stones. i reached the wall just in time to catch my little man in my arms; his face was white as snow. "what does this mean?" i demanded. "why are you talking with snakes?" i had loosened the golden muffler that he always wore. i had moistened his temples, and had given him some water to drink. and now i did not dare ask him any more questions. he looked at me very gravely, and put his arms around my neck. i felt his heart beating like the heart of a dying bird, shot with someone's rifle . . . "i am glad that you have found what was the matter with your engine," he said. "now you can go back home--" "how do you know about that?" i was just coming to tell him that my work had been successful, beyond anything that i had dared to hope. He made no answer to my question, but he added: "i, too, am going back home today . . ." then, sadly-- "it is much farther . . . it is much more difficult . . ." i realized clearly that something extraordinary was happening. i was holding him close in my arms as if he were a little child; and yet it seemed to me that he was rushing headlong toward an abyss from which i could do nothing to restrain him . . . his look was very serious, like some one lost far away. "i have your sheep. and i have the sheep's box. and i have the muzzle . . ." and he gave me a sad smile. i waited a long time. i could see that he was reviving little by little. "dear little man," i said to him, "you are afraid . . ." he was afraid, there was no doubt about that. but he laughed lightly. "i shall be much more afraid this evening . . ." once again i felt myself frozen by the sense of something irreparable. and i knew that i could not bear the thought of never hearing that laughter any more. for me, it was like a spring of fresh water in the desert. "little man," i said, "i want to hear you laugh again." but he said to me: "tonight, it will be a year . . . my star, then, can be found right above the place where i came to the Earth, a year ago . . ." "little man," i said, "tell me that it is only a bad dream--this affair of the snake, and the meeting-place, and the star . . ." but he did not answer my plea. He said to me, instead: "the thing that is important is the thing that is not seen . . ." "yes, i know . . ." "it is just as it is with the flower. if you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. all the stars are a-bloom with flowers . . ." "yes, i know . . ." "it is just as it is with the water. because of the pulley, and the rope, what you gave me to drink was like music. you remember--how good it was." "yes, i know . . ." "and at night you will look up at the stars. where i live everything is so small that i cannot show you where my star is to be found. It is better, like that. my star will just be one of the stars, for you. and so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens . . . they will all be your friends. and, besides, i am going to make you a present . ." he laughed again. "ah, little prince, dear little prince! i love to hear that laughter!" "that is my present. just that. it will be as it was when we drank the water . . ." "what are you trying to say?" "all men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. for some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. for others they are no more than little lights in the sky. for others, who are scholars, they are problems. for my businessman they were wealth. but all these stars are silent. you--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--" "what are you trying to say?" "in one of the stars i shall be living. in one of them i shall be laughing. and so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . you--only you--will have stars that can laugh!" and he laughed again. "and when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. you will always be my friend. you will want to laugh with me. and you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure . . . and your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! then you will say to them, 'yes, the stars always make me laugh!' and they will think you are crazy. it will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you . . ." and he laughed again. "it will be as if, in place of the stars, i had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh . . ." and he laughed again. then he quickly became serious: "tonight--you know . . . do not come." "i shall not leave you," i said. "i shall look as if i were suffering. i shall look a little as if I were dying. it is like that. do not come to see that. it is not worth the trouble . . ." "i shall not leave you." but he was worried. "I tell you--it is also because of the snake. he must not bite you. snakes--they are malicious creatures. this one might bite you just for fun . . ." "i shall not leave you." but a thought came to reassure him: "it is true that they have no more poison for a second bite." that night i did not see him set out on his way. he got away from me without making a sound. when i succeeded in catching up with him he was walking along with a quick and resolute step. he said to me merely: "ah! you are there . . ." and he took me by the hand. but he was still worrying. "it was wrong of you to come. you will suffer. i shall look as if i were dead; and that will not be true . . ." i said nothing. "you understand . . . it is too far. i cannot carry this body with me. it is too heavy." i said nothing. "but it will be like an old abandoned shell. there is nothing sad about old shells . . ." i said nothing. he was a little discouraged. but he made one more effort: "you know, it will be very nice. i, too, shall look at the stars. all the stars will be wells with a rusty pulley. all the stars will pour out fresh water for me to drink . . ." i said nothing. "that will be so amusing! you will have five hundred million little bells, and i shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water . . . and he too said nothing more, because he was crying . . . "here it is. let me go on by myself." and he sat down, because he was afraid. then he said, again: "you know--my flower . . . i am responsible for her. and she is so weak! she is so naïve! she has four thorns, of no use at all, to protect herself against all the world . . ." i too sat down, because i was not able to stand up any longer. "there now--that is all . . ." he still hesitated a little; then he got up. he took one step. i could not move. there was nothing but a flash of yellow close to his ankle. he remained motionless for an instant. he did not cry out. he fell as gently as a tree falls. there was not even any sound, because of the sand.

chapter 26 of the little prince by antoine de saint-exupéry

chapter XXII revised

the little prince gazed at him for a long time. "you are a funny animal," he said at last. "you are no thicker than a finger..." "but i am more powerful than the finger of a king," said the snake. the little prince smiled. "you are not very powerful. you haven't even any feet. you cannot even travel..."

"i can carry you farther than any ship could take you," said the snake. he twined himself around the little prince's ankle, like a golden bracelet. "whomever i touch, i send back to the earth from whence he came," the snake spoke again.

"but you are innocent and true, and you come from a star..." the little prince made no reply. "you move me to pity-- you are so weak on this earth made of granite," the snake said. "i can help you, some day, if you grow too homesick for your own planet. i can--"

"oh! i understand you very well," answered the little prince. "but why do you always speak in riddles?" "i solve them all," said the snake. and they were both silent. “ if you don't have the mind to see through the riddles, what sense it has to bather the other one? riddles are only a way to hide the truth" said the little prince.

"what about your promise, that i won’t suffer too long, when you send me back home?" asked the little prince. the snake replied: "my poison works so fast and well, you wouldn't feel almost nothing". the little prince was shocked by his words, because when he wanted to die, he wanted to feel why she hurted him and know the reason.

"you will know" mused the snake, if he could read the mind of the little prince. "yes, you are right" sighted the little prince a little bit ashamed because of his inconsideration while he already knew the answer in his heart and both got silent again, chapter 17 revised.

chapter XXII never, never dare

never, never dare.......................
to start a conversation
by yourself said the fox,
who was looking into the mirror.

then she turned away
and she was waiting,
if she heard a call from behind
it was a vain hope,

she didn't hear anything.
she didn't know she couldn't because
she has turned herself away from the mirror.
the only thing she could do was to imagine a friend,
than it would be if she spoke herself with her friend

than suddenly she heard a voice somewhere
but she couldn't see where the voice came from
