Once, when I was a little boy, I loved to draw. I drew a picture of a big snake that had eaten an animal. But when I showed it to the grown-ups, they didn’t understand. They said, “It looks like a hat.”

So, I stopped drawing. I grew up and became a pilot. One day, my plane crashed in the desert. I was all alone.

The next morning, a little boy appeared. He had golden hair and curious eyes. He said, “Please, draw me a sheep.”
This was how I met the Little Prince.

The Little Prince told me about his home. It was a tiny planet, no bigger than a house. On his planet, there were three volcanoes and one very special flower.

He loved his flower, but the flower was sometimes proud and difficult. The Little Prince didn’t always know how to care for her, and that made him sad.

So, one day, he decided to travel and see other worlds.

The Little Prince visited many small planets. On each one, he met a grown-up.

On the first planet, he met a king who wanted to rule everything.
On the second, a vain man who wanted to be admired all the time.
On the third, a drunkard who drank to forget he was ashamed.
On the fourth, a businessman who counted stars as if they were money.
On the fifth, a lamplighter who lit and put out a lamp every minute.
On the sixth, a geographer who wrote books but never traveled.

The Little Prince thought, “Grown-ups are very strange.”

Finally, the Little Prince came to Earth. At first, he thought he was alone. But then he met a snake who spoke in riddles.

Later, he found a garden full of roses. He was surprised and sad because his flower had told him she was unique. Now he saw thousands of roses just like her.

He thought, “Maybe my flower is not special after all.”
