"You have plans that I do not know about," I said.
But he did not answer me. He said to me, instead:"You know― my descent to the earth... Tomorrow will be its anniversary."Then, after a silence, he went on:"I came down very near here."And he flushed.
“你听，”小王子说，“我们唤醒了这口井，它现在唱起歌来了……”
“能够是因为周年到了吧？……”
“你晓得……给我的小绵羊一个嘴套子……我要对我的花卖力的呀！”

“他们是找不到的。”我答复道。
“哦，如许也能够了。”他说，“孩子们认得出来。”

“让我来干吧。”我对他说，“这活对你太重了。”
“你画的狐狸……它那双耳朵……有点像羊犄角……并且又太长了！”
小王子又加了一句：
"You know― a muzzle for my sheep... I am responsible for this flower..."I took my rough drafts of drawings out of my pocket. The little prince looked them over, and laughed as he said:"Your baobabs― they look a little like cabbages.""Oh!"
