The Little Prince (61)

The Little Prince (61)

  " You know, " he said, " I can tell you a way you can rest whenever you want to. . . "

  " I always want to rest, " replied the lamplighter.

  For it is possible for a man to be faithful and lazy at the same time.

  The little prince went on with his explanation :
  " Your planet is so small that three strides will take you all the way around it. To be always in the sunshine, you need only walk along rather slowly. When you want to rest, you will walk ー and the day will last as long as you like. "

 " That doesn't do me much good, " said the lamplighter.
 " The one thing I love in life is to sleep. "
