The Little Prince
to explore other planets.
While journeying, the narrator tells, the little prince passes by neighboring asteroids and encounters for
the first time the strange, narrow-minded world of grown-ups. On the first six planets the little prince
visits, he meets a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a businessman, a lamplighter, and a geographer, all of
whom live alone and are overly consumed by their chosen occupations. Such strange behavior both
amuses and perturbs the little prince. He does not understand their need to order people around, to be
admired, and to own everything. With the exception of the lamplighter, whose dogged faithfulness he
admires, the little prince does not think much of the adults he visits, and he does not learn anything
useful. However, he learns from the geographer that flowers do not last forever, and he begins to miss the
rose he has left behind.
