The Little Prince (60)

The Little Prince (60)

  " Then what ? " asked the little prince.
 
  " Then ー the planet now makes a complete turn every minute, and I no longer have a single second for repose. Once every minute I have to light my lamp and put it out ! "

  " That is very funny !  A day lasts only one minute, here where you live ! "

  " It is not funny at all ! " said the lamplighter .
  " While we have been talking together a month has gone by. "

  " A month ? "

  " Yes, a month. Thirty minutes. Thirty days. Good evening. "

  And he lighted his lamp again.

  As the little prince watched him, he felt that he loved this lamplighter who was so faithful to his orders.

  He remembered the sunsets which he himself had gone to seek, in other days, merely by pulling up his chair ; and he wanted to help his friend.
