I swear it!

Come back!

Please!

Please come back!

# Where did you go?

# Where, oh, where did you go,

little man?

# Don't you know that I'm on your side?

# Why did you go?

# Why, oh, why did you go, little man?

Let me show you I'm on your side

# This world

# Is an ocean without any shore

When you're on your own

# Dawn is the end of the rope

When you're all alone

# I've been, I've seen, I've known it

# Where can you be?

Where, oh, where can you be?

# Hurry back and you'll see

that I'm on your side

# Where did you run?

# Why, oh, why did you run

From the only one who is on your side?

# Everybody needs a friend

# Come make use of me

# God gave people hands to lend

Mine are free

# So why stay away?

# Come what may

# I'm on your side #

I missed him.

I wished I'd discovered more about him.

But he'd gone

and taken his mystery with him.

Unaccustomed as I am to drawing

anything but boas and elephants,

I decided to make a portrait of him

so I wouldn't forget him.

After all, he was a friend.

And not everyone has a friend.

Least of all me.

I'm hungry.

I have your supper right here.

I waited as long as I could.

I'd advise saving

some of that till tomorrow.

That is, of course,

unless you're very hungry.

Is this all you have?

At the moment, yes.

This will be quite enough, thank you.

Needless to say,

that problem you outlined

concerning the flower, you know?

The one on the star. And your sheep.

In fact, all flowers and all sheep.

That's extremely important.

In fact, I can't think of anything

that's more important.

Well, I've given it a great deal of thought,

and I think I have a solution

that will completely remove your flower

from any possibility of danger.

This is my plan... But this is subject

to your approval, of course.

One:
To draw a muzzle for your sheep.

Two:
If you can describe

your planet to me

in sufficient detail for me

to make a drawing of it,

I'll put up a big strong fence

all around your flower.

Would you really do that?

Smaller.

Smaller.

I have three volcanoes.

- How big are they?

- Very big.

- Compared to you?

- Knee high.

I have to clean them out every day.

- All by yourself?

- There's no one else.

There are three baobab bushes.

You don't have to draw them.

They don't come up for a while.

- Where's your house?

- On the other side. Don't draw it.

My flower lives on this side here.

When she first came

through the ground,

I was afraid she was going to be

a baobab, but then she blossomed.

One bright yellow morning,

she blossomed.

- Good morning.

- Stop!

- What is it?

- Give me a moment to wake up.

I'm sorry.

How beautiful you are.

Yes, I know.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger, comte de Saint-Exupéry (French: [ɑ̃twan də sɛ̃tɛɡzypeʁi]; 29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944) was a French writer, poet, aristocrat, journalist, and pioneering aviator. He became a laureate of several of France's highest literary awards and also won the U.S. National Book Award. He is best remembered for his novella The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) and for his lyrical aviation writings, including Wind, Sand and Stars and Night Flight. Saint-Exupéry was a successful commercial pilot before World War II, working airmail routes in Europe, Africa and South America. At the outbreak of war, he joined the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air), flying reconnaissance missions until France's armistice with Germany in 1940. After being demobilised from the French Air Force, he travelled to the United States to help persuade its government to enter the war against Nazi Germany. Following a 27-month hiatus in North America, during which he wrote three of his most important works, he joined the Free French Air Force in North Africa, although he was far past the maximum age for such pilots and in declining health. He disappeared over the Mediterranean on a reconnaissance mission in July 1944, and is believed to have died at that time. Prior to the war, Saint-Exupéry had achieved fame in France as an aviator. His literary works – among them The Little Prince, translated into 300 languages and dialects – posthumously boosted his stature to national hero status in France. He earned further widespread recognition with international translations of his other works. His 1939 philosophical memoir Terre des hommes—Man and His World became the name of an international humanitarian group, and was also used to create the central theme of the most successful world's fair of the 20th century, Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. more…
