The Little Prince

1
Once
when
I
was
six
I
saw
a
magnificent
picture
in
a
book
about
the
jungle
,
called
True
Stories
.
It
showed
a
boa
constrictor
swallowing
a
wild
beast
.
Here
is
a
copy
of
the
picture
.

In
the
book
it
said
:
"
Boa
constrictors
swallow
their
prey
whole
,
without
chewing
.
Afterward
they
are
no
longer
able
to
move
,
and
they
sleep
for
six
months
they
need
for
digestion
.
"

In
those
days
I
thought
a
lot
about
jungle
adventures
,
and
eventually
managed
to
make
my
first
drawing
,
with
a
colored
pencil
.
My
drawing
Number
One
looked
like
this

I
showed
the
grown-ups
my
masterpiece
,
and
I
asked
them
if
my
drawing
scared
them
.
5
They
answered
,
"
Why
should
anyone
be
scared
of
a
hat
?
"

My
drawing
was
not
a
picture
of
a
hat
.
It
was
a
picture
of
a
boa
constrictor
digesting
an
elephant
.
Then
I
drew
the
inside
of
the
boa
constrictor
,
so
the
grown-ups
could
understand
.
They
always
need
explanations
.

My
drawing
Number
Two
looked
like

The
grown-ups
advised
me
to
put
away
my
drawings
of
boa
constrictors
,
outside
or
inside
,
and
apply
myself
instead
to
geography
,
history
,
arithmetic
,
and
grammar
.
That
is
why
I
gave
up
,
at
the
age
of
six
,
a
magnificent
career
as
an
artist
.
I
had
been
discouraged
by
the
failure
of
my
drawing
Number
One
and
of
my
drawing
Number
Two
.

Grown-ups
never
understand
anything
by
themselves
,
and
it
is
exhausting
for
children
to
have
to
explain
over
and
over
again
.
10
So
then
I
had
to
choose
another
career
.
I
learned
to
pilot
airplanes
.
I
have
flown
almost
everywhere
in
the
world
.
And
,
as
a
matter
of
fact
,
geography
has
been
a
big
help
to
me
.
I
could
tell
China
from
Arizona
at
first
glance
,
which
is
very
useful
if
you
get
lost
during
the
night
.
