Character: The little Prince. Page 2

- Good morning - said the Little Prince.
- Good afternoon, ' replied the merchant.
He sold perfected pills that quench thirst. Swallow one pill a week, and not thirsty.
- What do you sell them? - asked the Little Prince.
- They are a great saving of time, ' replied the merchant. - According to experts, you can save fifty-three minutes a week.
- And what to do with those fifty-three minutes?
- What you want.
If I had fifty-three minutes of free - thought the Little Prince - I would simply went to the spring...

That's the guy that everyone would despise. Meanwhile, of them all he is one, in my opinion, not funny.
Maybe because he only thinks about himself?

I didn't mean to hurt you. You yourself wanted me to tame you.

- I understand - said the Little Prince. But why do you always speak in riddles?
- I solve them all, ' said the serpent. And they were both silent.

- Your planet is very beautiful, - he said. And the oceans do you have?
- I don't know, ' said the geographer.
- Oh... - was disappointed by the Little Prince.
- Has it any mountains?
- I do not know, - said the geographer.
And cities, rivers, deserts?
And I don't know.
- But you are a geographer!
"Exactly," said the old man. - I am a geographer, not a traveler. I don't have enough travelers. It is not the geographer who goes out to count the towns, rivers, mountains, seas, oceans and deserts. The geographer is much too important a person he had no time to roam. He never comes out of his office.

- I know a planet where there is a gentleman with a purple face. He in all his life never sniffed the flower. Never looked at a star. He had never loved anyone. And never did anything. It is only busy one: he adds numbers. And from morning till night says one: "I'm a serious man! I'm a serious man!" - just like you. And makes him swell up with pride. And in fact, he's not human. He mushroom.

Children! Beware of baobabs!

- One day I one day saw the sunset forty-three times!
And a little later you added:
- You know... very sad, it is good to see how the sun sets...
- So, that day when you saw forty-three sunsets, were you very sad?
But the Little Prince did not answer.

At night, when you look at the sky you will see my star, the one where I live, where I laugh. And you hear that all the stars are laughing. You will have stars that can laugh!

... All these stars are silent. And you will have a very special star...

The stars are beautiful, because somewhere there is a flower, though you can't see it...

When he lights his street lamp, it is in the sky as if there is another star or a flower. Great job. It is useful, because beautiful...

- Know what a good desert? he said.
- Sometime in her hidden springs...

- I'd like to know why the stars Shine...
- Probably, then sooner or later everyone would find his.
