Title: The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - new book

• Summary

"Six years ago, I had a breakdown in the Sahara Desert. Something had broken in my engine. And since I had neither mechanic nor passengers with me, I prepared to try to succeed, all alone, in a difficult repair. It was a matter of life or death for me. I barely had enough water to drink for eight days. So the first night I fell asleep on the sand a thousand miles from any inhabited land. I was more isolated than a shipwrecked person on a raft in the middle of the ocean. So you can imagine my surprise, at daybreak, when a strange little voice woke me. It said: - Please... draw me a sheep! I jumped to my feet as if I had been struck by lightning. I rubbed my eyes. I looked closely. And I saw a quite extraordinary little man who was looking at me gravely. So I looked at this apparition with wide eyes of astonishment. Don't forget that I was a thousand miles from any inhabited region. When I finally managed to speak, I said to him: - But... what are you doing here? And he repeated to me then, very gently, as if it were something very serious: - Please... draw me a sheep. And that is how I met the little prince." (1940)
