The Little Prince Page #3

Does he even go to school?

Does he really live up there?

I took basic astronomy

and there was no mention of life,

or children, on any other planets.

Unless it's true

that he came from a star.

But that's unlikely.

Not a star. An asteroid.

Asteroid B-612.

We didn't cover asteroids.

But the fact that he wanted a sheep,

that pretty much proves that he exists.

Don't you think?

Hold on, I'll show you another drawing.

Wow.

This is a pretty serious fire hazard.

I never looked at it that way.

Where did you get all this stuff?

As time goes by

some things just kind of stick to you.

There's a name for it...

- Collecting?

- Hoarding!

That's it, hoarding.

I'm a hoarder. A bit of a hoarder.

What's your name, little fox?

He can't answer you.

I keep meaning to sew him a mouth.

Are you okay? You're okay?

I'm fine, this happens sometimes.

Give me a minute.

The last time this happened,

I was down here for three days.

- Three days?

- That's okay.

That's why I always keep

a baloney sandwich in my pocket.

Want a bite?

I think I'm baloney intolerant.

You don't know what you're missing.

It's going to be a clear night.

The stars will be out soon.

Wow.

The Little Prince,

he was very fond of sunsets.

One day he saw 44 of them.

What?

His planet, it was so small,

all he had to do was move his chair

a few steps to see another one.

But a small planet also had drawbacks.

He needed

a sheep to eat the baobab sprouts.

- Baobab?

- Yeah.

It's a very greedy tree.

And every day, he toiled

to stop them from turning up.

For if you intervene too late...

Catastrophe.

Now, luckily, there are good seeds, too.

And one day, from a seed blown

from no one knew where,

a new kind of sprout came up.

I know you'll be miraculous.

I know you will.

How beautiful you are!

I'm only half awake.

Forgive me, I'm still quite dishevelled.

You're perfect.

Am I not?

I was born

at the same moment as the sun.

It was there they shared

their first sunrise

and their first sunset.

It's very cold where you live.

Could you be kind enough

to think of my needs?

So the Rose began very quickly

to torment him with her vanity.

I suppose you wouldn't have a screen?

And at night I want you

to put me under a glass.

A glass globe, now. My needs...

My beauty... My screen...

Now, the shame of it was

that they loved each other.

But they were both too young

to know how to love.

Full of doubt, he ran away.

Of course I love you.

If you're not aware of that, it's my fault.

Please forgive me.

He left her? All alone?

But where did he go?

He didn't know it at the time,

but his leaving was just the first step

on a journey back to her.

- Really?
