今日偶然地重閱小王子. 怎麼說呢, 我從來不會想起要打開這本書, 但一開始閱讀就會感到很快樂. 一個又一個小星球上古怪的"人類".
其中有兩個是我最難忘的, 一個是每分鐘都日落, 每分鐘都點燈關燈的可憐人. 另一個是忙於數星星的人, 他認為每數到一粒星星就等於擁有一粒星星. 對於數星星的人, 小王子最後說:
"I myself own a flower," he continued his conversation with the businessman, "which I water every day. I own three volcanoes, which I clean out every week (for I also clean out the one that is extinct; one never knows). It is of some use to my volcanoes, and it is of some use to my flower, that I own them. But you are of no use to the stars..."
The businessman opened his mouth, but he found nothing to say in answer. And the little prince went away.
