The Little Prince (6)

The Little Prince (6)

  Here you may see the best portrait that, later, I was able to make of him.

  But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than it's model.

  That, however, is not my fault.

  The grown-ups ups discouraged me in my painter'as career when I was six years old and I never learned to draw anything, except boas from the outside and boas from the inside.

  Now I stared at this sudden apparition with my eyes fairy starting out I'd my head in astonishments

  Remembers I had crashed in the desert a thousand miles from any inhabited regions

  And yet my little man seemed neither to be straying uncertainly among the sands, nor to be fainting from fatigue or hunger or thirst or fears

  Nothing about hi gave any suggestion of a child lost in the middle of the desert, a thousand miles away from any human habitation.
