The Little Prince
The Little Prince - Five hundred million of what? "Repeated the little prince, who, in his life, had never renounced a question once he had asked it.
The businessman raised his head:
"For the past fifty-four years I have lived on this planet, I have only been disturbed three times. The first time it was twenty-two years ago, by a cockchart that had fallen, God knows where. He spread a terrible noise, and I made four errors in an addition. The second time, eleven years ago, was a crisis of rheumatism. I lack exercise. I do not have time to stroll. I'm serious. The third time ... here it is! So I said five hundred million ...
- Millions of what? "
The businessman understood that there was no hope of peace:
"Millions of these little things that one sees sometimes in the sky.
- Flies ?
- But no, little things that shine.
- Bees ?
- But no. Little golden things that make the idlers laugh. But I am serious! I do not have time to daydream.
"Ah! stars ?
- That's right. Stars.
