- Who are you? Asked the prince. How beautiful you are!
"I am a fox," said the fox.
-Come play with me, "proposed the little prince, I'm so sad!
"I can not play with you," said the fox, I am not tamed.
- Ah, sorry! "Said the prince.
But after a brief reflection, he added:
- What does "tame"?
"You're not here," said the fox, what do you look?
-Seeking men, "replied the prince. What does "tame"?
-Men, "the fox and hunt with shotguns. It's annoying! But they also raise chickens. That's all they care about. Do you looking for chickens?
"No," said the prince. Seeking friends. What does "tame"? "He then asked the prince.
"It's a too often neglected," said the fox, meaning "to create links ..."
- Creating links?
-fact, see, "said the fox. You're not for me yet but a boy like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I need you. Nor do you have need of me. I'm not for you more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we need each other. Thou shalt be to me unique in the world, for you I will be unique in the world ...
-beginning to understand, "said the prince. There is a flower ... I think she has tamed me ...
"My life is very monotonous. Hunt chickens and men hunt me me. All chickens are just alike and all men are equal, therefore I am a little bored. If you tame me, my life will be full of sunshine. Shall know the sound of a step different from everyone else. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground yours call me out of my burrow like music. And, look! Do you see yonder fields of wheat? I do not eat bread and wheat is therefore useless to me. The wheat fields I do not remember anything and that makes me sad. But you have golden hair and is a wonderful thing when I domestiques! Wheat, which is also golden, will remind me of you. And love the sound of wind in the wheat.
The fox fell silent and looked for a while the prince:
"Please ... tame, "he said.
"Well like," replied the prince, but I have not much time. I have friends and know many things.
-only understands the things that one tames, "said the fox. Men have no time to understand anything Fiene. Buy it all done in the shops. And no shops selling friends, Ios men have no friends. If you want a friend, tame me!
- What should I do? Asked the prince.
-must be very patient, "said the fox. You sit down at a little distance from me, and, on the ground, I will look through the corner of my eye and you do not tell me anything. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But every day you will sit a little closer ...
The prince returned the next day.
It would have been better, "said the fox to come back at the same time. If you come, for example, four in the afternoon, from the three I would start to be happy. The closer the time, the happier I feel. At four I feel agitated and restless, they discover that it's happiness. But if you come at any time, you never know when to prepare my heart ... The rites are necessary.
- What is a rite? Inquired the prince.
"It's also too often neglected," said the fox. This is what makes a day does not resemble other day and one hour different to another. Among the hunters, for example, is a ritual. Every Thursday they dance with girls in town. So Thursday is a wonderful time where I can go walk to the vineyard. If the hunters danced on a fixed day, every day and I seem to have no holidays.
Thus the prince tamed the fox. And when it was approaching the day of departure EI:
- Ah! "Said the fox, cry.
-is your own fault, "said the prince, I did not want hurt you, but you wanted me to tame you ...
"Certainly," said the fox.
- And you will mourn!, "Said the little prince.
- Secure!
-not win anything.
-Gano said the zoro-won because of the color of wheat.
And then he added:
"Go to see the roses, will understand that yours is unique in the world. Return to say goodbye and I'll give you a secret.
The prince went to see the roses which he said: "Not
nothing, are nothing like my rose. No one has tamed you have tamed no one. They are like the fox was before, that in no way different from other hundred thousand other foxes. But I made my friend and now he is unique in the world.
Roses upset or listening to the prince, who continued by saying:
"They are very beautiful, but they are empty and no one would die for you. Anyone can see that I would think that pink is the same as any of you. But she knows more important than all, because I have watered, because it is she to whom I entertained with the lantern, because I killed the caterpillars (except two or three to become butterflies) and it is the I've heard complain, praise and sometimes silent. Why is my rose, in the end.
and returned with the fox.
"Goodbye," he said.
"Goodbye" said the fox. Here is my secret, which can not be more simple: Only with the heart one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.
"What is essential is invisible to the eyes," repeated the prince to remember.
-What makes your rose important is the time you've lost it.
"It's time that I've lost it ... "Repeated the prince to remember.
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox, but you must not forget. You are responsible forever for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose ...
"I am responsible for my rose ... "Repeated the prince to remember.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Biyuinfo!
- What makes your rose important is the time you've lost it. What makes you more important to her, is the time that she lost in you. Although the verb can not be losing much easier it is for the translation. Spend, invest, use ... My primary language teacher once told me that always return to this book. And he was right, but under what circumstances ...
- And to a person or two, I said that this song Moon Over Soho was so good. It is, seriously.
