I was a pilot. I always flew alone. Six years ago, my plane was broken. I had to land in a desert. When I was fixing it, I heard a very low voice. "Would you please draw me a sheep?" Then I saw a very small person. That was Little Prince.He smiled at me and asked for a picture of sheep again.I draw a sheep. He looked at it carefully, and said, "No. This sheep is sick" So I made another drawing. "This is a ram. I want a sheep." I drew over once more. But he was still not satisfied. "This one is too old." I became impatient. So I drew a box and said to him, "The sheep is inside." "That is exactly what I want. Look, he has fallen asleep!" I was very surprised to hear that.Little Prince told me that he had a flower on his planet. He watched her grow from a seed. One morning, she suddenly bloomed. She was so beautiful. He fell in love with her. One day she said, "It's very cold here. In the place that I came from. She stopped and said nothing more. As a matter of fact, this planet was the only place she had ever known. She was lying. Little Prince decided to leave. Soon, Little Prince came to the first planet on his journey. The king there liked to give orders. Little Prince was tired, so he yawned. "I order you not to yawn," the king said. "I can not help it""Then I order you to yawn." Little Prince yawned. Then he said, "Can I ask you a question?" "I order you to do so" the king said. "Why do adults like to give orders?" Little Prince yawned again and left. On the second planet lived a conceited man."Good morning" said Little Prince. "Say you admire me. Clap your hands." "What does 'admire' mean?" "It means that you regard me as the most handsome and the smartest man on the planet.!""But you are the only one on the planet!" "Do me this kindness. Say you admire me!""I admire you" Little Prince said, "This man loved himself too much" Then he left.On the third planet, there lived a man who loved drinking so much. "Why are you drinking?" asked Little Prince. "To forget, answered the man. "Forget what?" "Forget what I feel ashamed of!'"Ashamed of what?" "Ashamed of drinking."Then the man began to drink again. "In that way, you keep on making mistakes!" Little Prince felt confused and left.On the fourth planet, there was a merchant. "Hi!" said Little Prince. "Three and two is five. Hi. Five and seven is twelve... Aha, it's five hundred and one million!""Five hundred and one million what?" "I am busy! Three and two is five..."the man began counting again.At last, Little Prince understood. This man was counting stars. He thought all the stars belong to him. "This man is greedy. Stars belong to nobody," Little Prince thought. Then he left.
