• The flower

I soon learned to know that flower better. On the little prince's planet there always been very simple flowers but this one has groven from the seeds brought from who knows where, and the little prince has kept her close watch over sprout there was not like any the others. It might had been the new kind of baobab but the sprout soon stopped growing and began to show signts of blossoming. The little prince who had watched the development of a tremendous bud, realised that some sort of miraculous apparition were emerge from it. And then one morning, precisely at sunrise, she showed herself.

"Ah, I'm hardly awake. ..Forgive me...I'm stll all untidy..."

"How lovely you are!"

"Aren't I? And I was born the same time as the sun..."

"I believe it is breakfast time, would you be so kind as to tend to me?"

And the little prince, utterly abashed, having gone to look for a water can, served the flower. But she soon begun tormenting him with her rather touchy vanity. One day, for instance, alluding to her four thorns, she remarked to the little prince.

"I'm ready for tigers, with all their claws"

"There are no tigers on my planet, and besides, tigers don't eat weeds "

"I am not a weed!"

"Oh, forgive me!"

"I am not at all afraid of tigers, but I have a horror of drafts. You wouldn't happen to have a screen?"

"A horror of drafts...that's not a good sign, for a plant! How complicated this flower is..."

"After dark you'll put me under glass.

"Hm?"

"How cold it is where you leave, it's... it's quite uncomfortable. Where I come from I... um... "

And she suddunaly broke off. She had come here as a seed. She couldn't even know anything of other worlds. She (***) and having let herself be caught on the verge of so naive a lie she cought two or three times in order to put the little prince in a wrong.

"What about that screen?"

"I... I was going to go look for one but you were speaking to me."

Then she makes herself cought again. In order to inflicted ****.

So, the little prince, despite all the goodwill of his love, had soon come to mistrust her. He had taken seriously certain inconsequential remarks and had grown very unhappy. On a morning ... He put his plan in an order and in the order the flower one last time. He put her under a glass, he felt like crying.

"Goodbye... Goodbye!"

"I've been silly, I... I ask for your forgiviness. Try to be happy."

He was surprised that there were no reproaches. He stood there, quite bewildered, holding the glass bell in mid-air.

"Of course I love you. It was my fault you never knew. It doesn't matter. But you were just as silly as I was. Try to be happy ... Put that thing down I don't want it anymore."

"But the wind!"

"Oh, my cold isn't black bad, night air will do me good. I'm a flower."

"But the animals!"

"Oh, I need to put up with two or three caterpillars if I want to get to know the butterflies. Apparently they’re very beautiful. Otherwise who will visit me? You’ll be far away. As for the big animals, I’m not afraid of them. I have my own claws."

And she naively showed her four thorns.

“Don't hang around like this.. it's irritating. You made up your mind to leave now... Now go.”

For she didn’t want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower.
