00:00:01.006 --> 00:00:03.098
I lived by myself

00:00:03.098 --> 00:00:07.089
without people with whom I could speak truthfully

00:00:07.089 --> 00:00:12.369
until a crash in the Sahara desert 6 years ago

00:00:12.369 --> 00:00:15.589
something was broken in my motor but as I had no

00:00:15.589 --> 00:00:17.024
mechanics nor passengers with me

00:00:17.024 --> 00:00:21.021
I was preparing myself to attempt to accomplish a difficult repair by myself

00:00:21.021 --> 00:00:23.071
for me it was a question of life or death

00:00:23.071 --> 00:00:26.859
I hardly had any water to drink for 10 days

00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:30.089
the first evening I slept on the sand

00:00:30.089 --> 00:00:33.048
with one thousand miles from any earth

00:00:33.048 --> 00:00:36.038
I was much more isolated nevertheless on a raft in the middle of

00:00:36.038 --> 00:00:38.041
the Ocean

00:00:38.041 --> 00:00:40.061
so I imagine the surprise

00:00:40.061 --> 00:00:42.009
at the awakening of the day

00:00:42.009 --> 00:00:45.088
when a funny little voice awakened me

00:00:45.088 --> 00:00:47.041
"Please...

00:00:47.041 --> 00:00:49.032
...draw a sheep for me."

00:00:49.032 --> 00:00:50.052
"What?"

00:00:50.052 --> 00:00:52.004
"Draw a sheep for me."

00:00:52.004 --> 00:00:56.012
I jumped to my feet as if I had been hit by lightning

00:00:56.012 --> 00:00:59.074
I rubbed my eyes and looked

00:00:59.074 --> 00:01:04.006
and I saw a little extraordinary fellow

00:01:04.006 --> 00:01:06.096
he seriously considered me

00:01:06.096 --> 00:01:09.061
he seemed not lost nor dying of hunger

00:01:09.061 --> 00:01:14.029
nor dying of fatigue nor dying of thirst nor dying of fright

00:01:14.029 --> 00:01:18.032
he just had the appearance of a child lost in the desert

00:01:18.032 --> 00:01:22.055
friend of all the inhabited regions

00:01:22.055 --> 00:01:24.006
"What are you doing here?!"

00:01:24.006 --> 00:01:25.047
"Please...

00:01:25.047 --> 00:01:28.095
...draw a sheep for me."

00:01:28.095 --> 00:01:32.093
for the mystery and three precious points in rise not to obey

00:01:32.093 --> 00:01:35.038
as absurd as this seemed to me

00:01:35.038 --> 00:01:39.049
I pulled out a paper and a pen from my pocket and I drew

00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:45.015
he watched attentively

00:01:45.015 --> 00:01:46.084
"No, this one is too sick,

00:01:46.084 --> 00:01:49.011
do another one."

00:01:49.011 --> 00:01:53.059
I drew another sheep

00:01:53.059 --> 00:01:54.609
"You see well,

00:01:54.609 --> 00:01:58.041
it's not a sheep, it's a ram because it has horns."

00:01:58.041 --> 00:02:02.081
so I redrew my drawing

00:02:02.081 --> 00:02:04.029
"This one is too old,

00:02:04.029 --> 00:02:07.093
I want it to live a long time." I was in a hurry to start to dismantle

00:02:07.093 --> 00:02:11.069
the motor. I scribbled a cage

00:02:11.069 --> 00:02:13.179
with three air vents.

00:02:13.179 --> 00:02:16.499
"This is the cage, the sheep that you want is inside."

00:02:16.499 --> 00:02:19.459
"That's actually exactly how I wanted it!

00:02:19.459 --> 00:02:22.849
Do you think it will need lots of grass?"
"Why?"

00:02:22.849 --> 00:02:25.299
"Because where I live everything is small."

00:02:25.299 --> 00:02:28.839
"It will surely be enough. I gave you a small sheep."

00:02:28.839 --> 00:02:32.709
"Is it that small?

00:02:32.709 --> 00:02:34.809
Look, it fell asleep."

00:02:34.809 --> 00:02:44.389
And that's how I met the little prince.

00:02:44.389 --> 00:02:47.359
It took me a long time to understand where he came from.

00:02:47.359 --> 00:02:50.819
The little prince who asked me lots of questions never seemed to hear

00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:52.039
my questions.

00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.669
It was the words that were pronounced randomly that slowly brought me to the light.

00:02:55.669 --> 00:02:58.819
Then for the first time he noticed my airplane.

00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:00.599
"What is that thing?"

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.094
"It's not a thing.

00:03:01.094 --> 00:03:03.329
It flies,

00:03:03.329 --> 00:03:04.529
it's an airplane,

00:03:04.529 --> 00:03:06.519
and my airplane."

00:03:06.519 --> 00:03:08.659
"Did it fall from the sky?"
"Yes, haha."

00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:12.169
"That's funny! So did you also fall from the sky? What planet did you

00:03:12.169 --> 00:03:14.549
come from?"

00:03:14.549 --> 00:03:17.269
"You come from another planet?"

00:03:17.269 --> 00:03:18.549
"It's true that above

00:03:18.549 --> 00:03:22.759
I couldn't of come from that far."

00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:28.339
"Where do you come from, my little fellow?"
"Huh?"

00:03:28.339 --> 00:03:31.569
"Where is it that you live?

00:03:31.569 --> 00:03:34.469
Where is it that you want to keep your sheep?"

00:03:34.469 --> 00:03:36.699
"What is good,

00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:39.329
with the cage that you gave me,

00:03:39.329 --> 00:03:42.289
it could be used as a house."

00:03:42.289 --> 00:03:45.799
"Of course.

00:03:45.799 --> 00:03:50.059
And if you're nice I'll give you a leash to attach it in the day,

00:03:50.059 --> 00:03:53.039
and a stake-"
"Attach it? What a weird idea!"

00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.759
"If you don't attach it it could go anywhere!"
"Where do you think he'll go?"

00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.489
"Well, anywhere, straight in front of him!"

00:03:59.489 --> 00:04:01.139
"Nowhere.

00:04:01.139 --> 00:04:04.199
It's so small where I live

00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.579
that if you advance forward you can't go that far."

00:04:07.579 --> 00:04:10.479
That's when he learned something pretty important.

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:18.289
It's that his home planet was hardly larger than a house.

00:04:18.289 --> 00:04:22.939
Ah, the little prince, I understood little by little by random

00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:25.027
about his little melancholic life.

00:04:25.027 --> 00:04:29.011
He had a
