The Little Prince《estabish ties》

"It is an act too often neglected"said the fox.It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that"said the fox."To meyou are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys.And i have no need of you.and youon your parthave no need of me.To youI am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.But if you tame me then we shall need each other.To meyou will be unique in all the world.To youI shall be unique in all the world..."

"I hunt chickens;men hunt me.All the chicken are just alikeand all the men are just alike.Andin consequenceI am a little bored.But if you tame meit will be as if the sun came to shine on my life.I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others.Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground.Yours will call melike musicout of my burrow.And wheat is of no use to me.The wheat fields have nothing to say to me.And that is sad.But you have hair that is the colour of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me!The grainwhich is also goldenwill bring me back the thought of you.and I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat..."

"What makes the desert beautiful"said the little prince"is that somewhere it hides a well..."

And the little prince added:"But the eyes are blind.One must look with the heart..."

I had drunk the water.I breathed easily.At sunrise the sand is the color of honey.And that honey color was making me happytoo.What brought methenthis sense of grief?
