The Little Prince
The
narrator is able to fix his plane on the day before the one-year anniversary of the prince's arrival on Earth,
and he walks sadly with his friend out to the place the prince landed. The snake bites the prince, who falls
noiselessly to the sand.
The narrator takes comfort when he cannot find the prince's body the next day and is confident that the
prince has returned to his asteroid. The narrator is also comforted by the stars, in which he now hears the
tinkling of his friend's laughter. Often, however, he grows sad and wonders if the sheep he drew has eaten
the prince's rose. The narrator concludes by showing his readers a drawing of the desert landscape and by
asking us to stop for a while under the stars if we are ever in the area and to let the narrator know
immediately if the little prince has returned.
