Chapter 9 ↵ I believe that for his escape he took

advantage of the migration of a flock of wild

birds. On the morning of his departure he put his

planet in perfect order. He carefully cleaned out

his active volcanoes. He possessed two active

volcanoes; and they were very convenient for

heating his breakfast in the morning. He also had

one volcano that was extinct. But, as he said, “

One never knows! So he cleaned out the extinct

volcano, too. If they are well cleaned out,

volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any

eruptions. Volcanic eruptions are like fires in a

chimney. ↵ On our earth we are obviously much

too small to clean out our volcanoes. That is why

they bring no end of trouble upon us. ↵ The

little prince also pulled up, with a certain

sense of dejection, the last little shoots of the

baobabs. He believed that he would never want to

return. But on this last morning all these

familiar tasks seemed very precious to him. And

when he watered the flower for the last time, and

prepared to place her under the shelter of her

glass globe, he realised that he was very close

to tears. ↵ Goodbye, ” he said to the flower. ↵

But she made no answer. ↵ Goodbye, ” he said

again. ↵ The flower coughed. But it was not

because she had a cold. ↵ I have been silly, ”

she said to him, at last. I ask your forgiveness.

Try to be happy. . . ↵ He was surprised by this

absence of reproaches. He stood there all

bewildered, the glass globe held arrested in

mid-air. He did not understand this quiet

sweetness. ↵ Of course I love you, ” the flower

said to him. It is my fault that you have not

known it all the while. That is of no importance.

But you—you have been just as foolish as I. Try

to be happy. . . let the glass globe be. I don't

want it any more. ↵ But the wind—” ↵ My cold is

not so bad as all that. . . the cool night air

will do me good. I am a flower. ↵ But the

animals—” ↵ Well, I must endure the presence of

two or three caterpillars if I wish to become

acquainted with the butterflies. It seems that

they are very beautiful. And if not the

butterflies—and the caterpillars—who will call

upon me? You will be far away. . . as for the

large animals—I am not at all afraid of any of

them. I have my claws. ↵ And, naïvely, she

showed her four thorns. Then she added: ↵ Don't

linger like this. You have decided to go away.

Now go! ↵ For she did not want him to see her

crying. She was such a proud flower. . . ↵
