“这些谜语我都能解开的。”蛇说。
“我有些迷惑，”他说，“是否这些在天空点亮的星星是为了有一天，让我们每小我都能够重新找到本身本来的星球……看，我那颗行星。它刚幸亏我们头顶上……但是，它离我们好远哟！”
The little prince gazed at him for a long time.
小王子很有规矩地说：“早晨好。”
"You are a funny animal," he said at last. "You are no thicker than a finger...""But I am more powerful than the finger of a king," said the snake.
"Good evening," said the snake.
The little prince sat down on a stone, and raised his eyes toward the sky.

“这里是戈壁，戈壁中没有人。地球是很大的。”蛇说。
“但我比一个国王的手指更有能力。”蛇说道。
小王子久久地看着蛇。

"I wonder," he said, "whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again... Look at my planet. It is right there above us. But how far away it is!""It is beautiful," the snake said. "What has brought you here""I have been having some trouble with a flower," said the little prince.

“啊！我很明白你的意义。”小王子说，“但是你为甚么说话老是像让人猜谜语似的？”
当然，大人们是不会信赖你们的。他们自发得占有了很大处所，他们把本身看得像猴面包树那样了不起。你们能够建议他们计算一下。如许会使他们很欢畅，因为他们崇拜数字。但是你不必华侈时候去做这类无聊的连篇累牍的演算。这没有需求。你们能够完整信赖我。
"Ah!" said the snake.
"This is the Earth; this is Africa," the snake answered.
