It took me a long time to find out where he came from. The little prince who asked me so many questions never seemed to hear mine. It is thanks to the odd word,
here and there, that everything was revealed to me. For instance, when he saw my aeroplane for the first time (I shall not draw my aeroplane; that would be far too complicated for me), he asked me: “What is that object?”
“It is not an object. It flies. It is an aeroplane. It is my aeroplane.”
And I was proud to be able to tell him that I could fly. He cried out then: “What! You dropped down from the sky?”
“Yes,” I replied modestly.
“Oh! That is funny.” And the little prince broke into a
lovely peal of laughter which annoyed me no end. I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously. “So you too come from the sky. From which planet?”
I immediately perceived a ray of light in the mystery of his presence and at once questioned him: “So you’ve come from another planet?”
But he didn’t reply. He nodded gently whilst gazing at my aeroplane.
“It is true that on that you can’t have come from very far away ...”
And he sank into a long reverie. Then, taking my sheep out of his pocket, he contemplated his treasure.
You can imagine how my curiosity was aroused by this half confidence about “the other planets”. So I tried to find out a little more.
“Where do you come from, my little fellow? Where is this 'where I live' of which you speak? Where do you want to take my sheep?”
After a thoughtful silence, he replied: “What I like about the box you have given me is that he can use it as his house at night.”
“Of course. And if you are good, I shall also give you a rope to tie him up during the day. And a post to tie him to.”
But the little prince seemed shocked by my proposal.
“Tie him up? What a funny idea.”
“But if you do not tie him up, he will wander off and get lost".
My friend burst out laughing again: “But where would he go?”
“Anywhere. Just straight ahead.”
Whereupon the little prince remarked gravely: “It wouldn’t matter. Everything is so small where I live.” And, perhaps a little wistfully, he added: “Straight ahead of oneself, one cannot go very far ...”
