The Little Prince 08 莱恩茶叶蛋斯基

节目文稿：Everyday I'd learn something about the little prince's planet, about his departure, about his journey. It would come quite gradually, in the course of his remarks. This was how I learned, on the third day, about the drama of the baobabs.This time, too, I had the sheep to thank, for suddenly the little prince asked me a question, as if overcome by a grave doubt."Isn't it true that sheep eat bushes?" "Yes, that's right.""Ah! I'm glad."I didn't understand why it was so important that sheep should eat bushes. But the little prince added:"And therefore they eat baobabs, too?"I pointed out to the little prince that baobabs are not bushes but trees as tall as churches, and that even if he took a whole herd of elephants back to his planet, that herd couldn't finish off a single baobab.The idea of the herd of elephants made the little prince laugh."We'd have to pile them on top of one another." But he observed perceptively:"Before they grow big, baobabs start out by being little.""True enough! But why do you want your sheep to eat little baobabs?"He answered, "Oh, come on! You know!"as if we were talking about something quite obvious. And I was forced to make a great mental effort to understand this problem all by myself.
