The Little Prince

| Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a poignant and whimsical tale about a young prince from a small asteroid who embarks on a journey to visit various planets before returning to his home. The story begins with the narrator, a pilot, reflecting on his childhood and his interactions with adults, who often fail to understand children's perspectives. He then recounts an incident where he meets the Little Prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. Through their conversations, the Little Prince reveals the unique and often absurd customs of his planet, including the importance of maintaining order and the dangers of baobab trees. The Little Prince visits several planets, each inhabited by a character that reflects the adult world's absurdities: a king who demands obedience, a conceited man who only wants admiration, a tippler who drinks to forget, a businessman who owns the stars, and a lamplighter who follows orders blindly. Each encounter highlights the differences between the Little Prince's world and the adult world, emphasizing the importance of understanding and empathy. The Little Prince's journey teaches the narrator valuable lessons about life, love, and the beauty of simplicity. He learns that true happiness comes from understanding and appreciating the unique qualities of things, rather than focusing on material possessions or superficial appearances. The story concludes with the Little Prince returning to his planet, leaving behind a profound impact on the narrator, who resolves to be more mindful and compassionate in his interactions with others.The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a poignant and whimsical tale about a young prince from a small asteroid who embarks on a journey to visit various planets before returning to his home.
