But he made one more effort : " You know , it will be very nice . |
| lpp_1943.1501 |
English |
I , too , shall look at the stars . |
| lpp_1943.1502 |
English |
All the stars will be wells with a rusty pulley . |
| lpp_1943.1503 |
English |
All the stars will pour out fresh water for me to drink ... " |
| lpp_1943.1504 |
English |
I said nothing . |
| lpp_1943.1505 |
English |
" That will be so amusing ! |
| lpp_1943.1506 |
English |
You will have five hundred million little bells , and I shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water ... " |
| lpp_1943.1507 |
English |
And he too said nothing more , because he was crying ... |
| lpp_1943.1508 |
English |
" Here it is . |
| lpp_1943.1509 |
English |
Let me go on by myself . " |
| lpp_1943.1510 |
English |
And he sat down , because he was afraid . |
| lpp_1943.1511 |
English |
Then he said , again : " You know - - my flower ... |
| lpp_1943.1512 |
English |
I am responsible for her . |
| lpp_1943.1513 |
English |
And she is so weak ! |
| lpp_1943.1514 |
English |
She is so naive ! |
| lpp_1943.1515 |
English |
She has four thorns , of no use at all , to protect herself against all the world ... " |
| lpp_1943.1516 |
English |
I too sat down , because I was not able to stand up any longer . |
| lpp_1943.1517 |
English |
" There now - - that is all ... " |
| lpp_1943.1518 |
English |
He still hesitated a little ; then he got up . |
| lpp_1943.1519 |
English |
He took one step . |
| lpp_1943.1520 |
English |
I could not move . |
| lpp_1943.1521 |
English |
There was nothing but a flash of yellow close to his ankle . |
| lpp_1943.1522 |
English |
He remained motionless for an instant . |
| lpp_1943.1523 |
English |
He did not cry out . |
| lpp_1943.1524 |
English |
He fell as gently as a tree falls . |
