The Little Prince

The narrator had drawn a snake that swallowed an elephant, and this drawing was rejected by the adults, so he no longer had the courage to draw.

When he grew up, he lived alone, with no one to talk to.

As an airline pilot, on one of his trips he met the Little Prince in the Sahara desert. His voice simply said, "Draw me a sheep?"

He drew one, two, traditional rams, but the little boy rejected them, always finding fault, until the pilot drew a box with three holes in it, and the Little Prince thought it was perfect. He's from a tiny planet, and since adults like numbers, the narrator mentions the name of the planet, Asteroid B612.

Big people don't pay attention to what really matters, the essentials.

The little prince was worried about the baobabs on his planet, he wanted the ram to extinguish the baobabs, and thus avoid extinction, the baobab should be annihilated when it was small, so as not to produce great tragedies.

The Little Prince likes to admire the sunset, he remembers a different flower that had sprung up in his country, vain and asking to be taken care of. He starts visiting planets to find a job and educate himself. The first was inhabited by a king, who claimed to be Universal. The two debated governance, and one of the king's remarks was emphatic: "You have to demand from everyone what they can give". Authority rests on reason. He demanded obedience.

The second planet, inhabited by a vain man, who identified him as an admirer and demanded el.

The third planet, inhabited by a drunkard who drank to forget the shame of being a drunkard. People are bizarre.

The fourth planet, inhabited by a businessman, proud of his possessions. The little prince thought that his ideas of serious things were very different from those of adults. Great people are extraordinary.

The fifth planet had a lamp lighter, a small planet, the lighter had to go out and come back on in a minute, and it had to obey the laws. The Little Prince liked this planet and saw the advantage of admiring many suns.

The sixth planet was inhabited by an old man who wrote huge books, liked the explorers' descriptions, said he considered the prince's flower something very small, because it was ephemeral.

The seventh planet, Earth, was a large planet, but the prince landed in the Sahara desert, confused, he thought he had the wrong planet, he met a snake, who informed him of the location, crossing the desert, he found a flower, when he asked about men he heard the answer "men, I don't see much of them". He decides to climb a mountain, and

When we are captivated, singularities are important, individual characteristics become unique, people, animals, plants become more important than any other, similar ones. The secret is very simple: what is essential is invisible to the eye.

- Men forget this truth, said the fox, but you must not forget it. You become eternally responsible for what you capture. You are responsible for the rose.

The fox wanted to cry when the little prince left, the little prince met the key-keeper at a train station and a salesman.

On the eighth day of the plane crash, when the pilot remembered that there was no more water, the little prince remembered the salesman, who sold thirst-quenching pills.

The water runs out, the pilot tells the boy that they will die of thirst, they walk in search of a well and find one to quench their thirst. The pilot discovers that the little prince has been on Earth for a year, and that he wants to find the snake to be poisoned by it; he believes that this way, he will return to his planet.

The little prince tells the pilot who fixed the plane.

- You're going home today, I'm going too.

Saying goodbye is very difficult, it keeps the greetings of the heart, the memories of the moments lived, the expectations of meeting again, but the little prince would go to another dimension, the little prince says that, when looking at the sky, the pilot should look at the stars, and intuit that any of the stars could be the little prince.

-People have stars that aren't the same

I've always enjoyed reading to escape from reality, art in general is a thermometer of how much we still feel, a trace of humanity. I believe that God has given me the gift of writing to comfort those in need.
