    The Little Prince 02

    节目文稿:So I LIVED all alone, without anyone I could really talk to, until I had to make a crash landing in the Sahara Desert six years ago. Something in my plane's engine had broken, and since I had neither a mechanic nor passengers in the plane with me, I was preparing to undertake the difficult repair job by myself. For me it was a matter of life or death: I had only enough drinking water for eight days. The first night, then, I went to sleep on the sand a thousand miles from any inhabited country. I was more isolated than a man shipwrecked on a raft in the middle of the ocean. So you can imagine my surprise when I was awakened at daybreak by a funny little voice saying, "Please... draw me a sheep...""What?""Draw me a sheep..."I leaped up as if I had been struck by lightning. I rubbed my eyes hard. I stared. And I saw an extraordinary little fellow staring back at me very seriously. Here is the best portrait I managed to make of him, later on. But of course my drawing is much less attractive than my model. This is not my fault. My career as a painter was discour - aged at the age of six by the grown-ups, and I had never learned to draw anything except boa constrictors, outside and inside.So I stared wide-eyed at this apparition. Don't forget that I was a thousand miles from any inhabited territory. Yet this little fellow seemed to be neither lost nor dying of exhaustion, hunger, or thirst; nor did he seem scared to death. There was nothing in his appearance that sug - gested a child lost in the middle of the desert a thousand miles from any inhabited territory. When I finally man - aged to speak, I asked him,"But... what are you doing here?"And then he repeated, very slowly and very seriously,"Please... draw me a sheep..."

    The Little Prince 04

    节目文稿:It took me a long time to understand where he came from. The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him. It was things he said quite at random that, bit hy bit, explained everything. For instance, when he first caught sight of my airplane (I won't draw my airplane; that would be much too complicated for me) he asked:"What's that thing over there?""It's not a thing. It flies. It's an airplane. My airplane."And I was proud to tell him I could fly. Then he exclaimed:"What! You fell out of the sky?" "Yes," I said modestly. "Oh! That's funny..." And thg little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter, which annoyed me a good deal. I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously. Then he added, "So you fell out of the sky, too. What planet are you from?"That was when I had the first clue to the mystery of his presence, and I questioned him sharply. "Do you come from another planet?"But he made no answer. He shook his head a little, still staring at my airplane. "Of course, that couldn't have brought you from very far..." And he fell into a reverie that lasted a long while. Then, taking my sheep out of his pocket, he plunged into contemplation of his treasure. You can imagine how intrigued I was by this hint about "other planets." I tried to learn more: "Where do you come from, little fellow? Where is this 'where I live' of yours? Where wil you be taking my sheep?"After a thoughtful silence he answered, "The good thing about the crate you've given me is that he can use it for a house after dark.""Of course. And if you're good, I'll give you a rope to tie him up during the day. And a stake to tie him to."This proposition seemed to shock the little prince. "Tie him up? What a funny idea!""But if you don't tie him up, he'll wander of somewhere and get lost." My friend burst out laughing again."Where could he go?""Anywhere. Straight ahead..."Then the little prince remarked quite seriously, "Even if he did, everything's so small where I live!" And he added, perhaps a little sadly, "Straight ahead, you can't go very far."

    The Little Prince 03

    节目文稿:In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey. Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket. But then I remembered that I had mostly studied geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar, and I told the little fellow (rather crossly) that I didn't know how to draw.He replied,"That doesn't matter. Draw me a sheep."Since I had never drawn a sheep, I made him one of the only two drawings I knew how to make - the one of the boa con - strictor from outside. And I was as - tounded to hear the little fellow answer:"No! No! I don't want an elephant inside a boa constrictor. A boa constrictor is very dangerous, and an elephant would get in the way. Where I live, everything is very small. I need a sheep. Draw me a sheep."So then I made a drawing.He looked at it carefuly, and then said,"No. This one is already quite sick. Make another."I made another drawing. My friend gave me a kind, indulgent smile:"You can see for yourself... that's not a sheep, it's a ram. It has horns..."So I made my third drawing, but it was rejected, like the others:"This one's too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time." So then, impatiently, since I was in a hurry to start work on my engine, I scribbled this drawing, and added,"This is just the crate. The sheep you want is inside." But I was amazed to see my young critic's face light up."That's just the kind I wanted! Do you think this sheep will need a lot of grass?""Why?""Because where I live, everything is very small...""There's sure to be enough. I've given you a very small sheep."He bent over the drawing. "Not so small as all that... Look! He's gone to sleep..."And that's how I made the acquaintance of the little prince.
