Oh , little prince ! |
| lpp_1943.265 |
English |
Bit by bit I came to understand the secrets of your sad little life ... |
| lpp_1943.266 |
English |
For a long time you had found your only entertainment in the quiet pleasure of looking at the sunset . |
| lpp_1943.267 |
English |
I learned that new detail on the morning of the fourth day , when you said to me : " I am very fond of sunsets . |
| lpp_1943.268 |
English |
Come , let us go look at a sunset now . " |
| lpp_1943.269 |
English |
" But we must wait , " |
| lpp_1943.270 |
English |
I said . |
| lpp_1943.271 |
English |
" Wait ? |
| lpp_1943.272 |
English |
For what ? " |
| lpp_1943.273 |
English |
" For the sunset . |
| lpp_1943.274 |
English |
We must wait until it is time . " |
| lpp_1943.275 |
English |
At first you seemed to be very much surprised . |
| lpp_1943.276 |
English |
And then you laughed to yourself . |
| lpp_1943.277 |
English |
You said to me : " I am always thinking that I am at home ! " |
| lpp_1943.278 |
English |
Just so . |
| lpp_1943.279 |
English |
Everybody knows that when it is noon in the United States the sun is setting over France . |
| lpp_1943.280 |
English |
If you could fly to France in one minute , you could go straight into the sunset , right from noon . |
| lpp_1943.281 |
English |
Unfortunately , France is too far away for that . |
| lpp_1943.282 |
English |
But on your tiny planet , my little prince , all you need do is move your chair a few steps . |
| lpp_1943.283 |
English |
You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like ... |
| lpp_1943.284 |
English |
" One day , " you said to me , " I saw the sunset forty - four times ! " |
| lpp_1943.285 |
English |
And a little later you added : " You know -- one loves the sunset , when one is so sad ... " |
| lpp_1943.286 |
English |
" Were you so sad , then ? " |
| lpp_1943.287 |
English |
I asked , " on the day of the forty - four sunsets ? " |
