The Little Prince (34)

The little Prince (34)

  So, she began very quickly to torment him with her vanity - which truth be known, a liitle difficult to deal with.

  One day, for instances, when she was speaking of her four thorns,  she said to the little prince : 

  " Let the tigers come with their claws ! "

  " There are no tigers on my planets, " the little prince objected.

  " And, anyways tigers do not eat weeds. "

  " I am not a weeds " the flower replied, sweetly.

  " Please excuse me. . . " 

  " I am not at all afraid of tigers, " she went on, " but I have a horror of drafts. I suppose you wouldn't have have a screen for me ? "
