The Little Prince
The Little Prince That night I did not see him set off. He had escaped quietly. When I succeeded in joining him, he walked resolutely, with a rapid step. He only said to me:
"Ah! you are the... "
And he took me by the hand. But he was still tormented:
" You were wrong. You'll have trouble. I shall look as if I am dead, and it will not be true. "
I was silent.
" You understand. It is too far. I can not carry that body. It's too heavy. "
I was silent.
"But it will be like an old abandoned bark. It's not sad the old bark ... "
I was silent.
He was discouraged a little. But he made another effort:
"It'll be nice, you know. I too will look at the stars. All the stars will be wells with a rusty pulley. All the stars will pour me to drink ... "
I was silent.
"It will be so much fun! You will have five hundred million bells, I will have five hundred million fountains ... "
And he was silent too, because he was crying ...
" It's here. Let me step on my own. "
And he sat down because he was afraid.
