Chapter 3 ↵ It took me a long time to learn where

he came from. The little prince, who asked me so

many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I

asked him. It was from words dropped by chance

that, little by little, everything was revealed

to me. ↵ The first time he saw my airplane, for

instance (I shall not draw my airplane; that

would be much too complicated for me), he asked

me: ↵ What is that object? ↵ That is not an

object. It flies. It is an airplane. It is my

airplane. ↵ And I was proud to have him learn

that I could fly. ↵ He cried out, then: ↵ What!

You dropped down from the sky? ↵ Yes, ” I

answered, modestly. ↵ Oh! That is funny! ↵ And

the little prince broke into a lovely peal of

laughter, which irritated me very much. I like my

misfortunes to be taken seriously. ↵ Then he

added: ↵ So you, too, come from the sky! Which

is your planet? ↵ At that moment I caught a

gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his

presence; and I demanded, abruptly: ↵ Do you

come from another planet? ↵ But he did not

reply. He tossed his head gently, without taking

his eyes from my plane: ↵ It is true that on

that you can't have come from very far away. . .

↵ And he sank into a reverie, which lasted a

long time. Then, taking my sheep out of his

pocket, he buried himself in the contemplation of

his treasure. ↵ You can imagine how my curiosity

was aroused by this half-confidence about the “

other planets”. I made a great effort, therefore,

to find out more on this subject. ↵ My little

man, where do you come from? What is this'where

I live', of which you speak? Where do you want to

take your sheep? ↵ After a reflective silence he

answered: ↵ The thing that is so good about the

box you have given me is that at night he can use

it as his house. ↵ That is so. And if you are

good I will give you a string, too, so that you

can tie him during the day, and a post to tie him

to. ↵ But the little prince seemed shocked by

this offer: ↵ Tie him! What a queer idea! ↵ But

if you don't tie him, ” I said, “he will wander

off somewhere, and get lost. ↵ My friend broke

into another peal of laughter: ↵ But where do

you think he would go? ↵ Anywhere. Straight

ahead of him. ↵ Then the little prince said,

earnestly: ↵ That doesn't matter. Where I live,

everything is so small! ↵ And, with perhaps a

hint of sadness, he added: ↵ Straight ahead of

him, nobody can go very far. . . ↵
