[ti:03] [ar:angel] [00:01.677]Chapter 3] [00:02.211]-the narrator learns more about from where the little prince came [00:02.638]It took me a long time to learn where he came from.The little prince,who asked me so many questions,never seemed to hear the ones I asked him.It was from words dropped by chance that,little by little,everything was revealed to me. [00:17.447]The first time he saw my airplane,for instance (I shall not draw my airplane;that would be much too complicated for me),he asked me:"What is that object?" [00:27.323]"That is not an object.It flies.It is an airplane.It is my airplane."And I was proud to have him learn that I could fly. [00:37.305]He cried out,then:"What!You dropped down from the sky?" [00:41.829]"Yes,"I answered,modestly. [00:43.951]"Oh!That is funny!" [00:45.867]And the little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter,which irritated me very much.I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously. [00:53.539]Then he added:"So you,too,come from the sky!Which is your planet?" [00:59.800]At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence;and I demanded,abruptly:"Do you come from another planet?" [01:09.291]But he did not reply.He tossed his head gently,without taking his eyes from my plane:"It is true that on that you can ‘t have come from very far away..." [01:19.558]And he sank into a reverie,which lasted a long time.Then,taking my sheep out of his pocket,he buried himself in the contemplation of his treasure. [01:29.202]You can imagine how my curiosity was aroused by this half-confidence about the "other planets."I made a great effort,therefore,to find out more on this subject. [01:39.308]"My little man,where do you come from?What is this ‘where I live,‘of which you speak?Where do you want to take your sheep?" [01:52.229]After a reflective silence he answered:"The thing that is so good about the box you have given me is that at night he can use it as his house." [01:57.134]"That is so.And if you are good I will give you a string,too,so that you can tie him during the day,and a post to tie him to." [02:05.472]But the little prince seemed shocked by this offer:"Tie him!What a queer idea!" [02:11.96]"But if you don ‘t tie him,"I said,"he will wander off somewhere,and get lost." [02:18.24]My friend broke into another peal of laughter:"But where do you think he would go?" [02:23.608]"Anywhere.Straight ahead of him." [02:27.85]Then the little prince said,earnestly:"That doesn ‘t matter.Where I live,everything is so small!" [02:33.582]And,with perhaps a hint of sadness,he added:"Straight ahead of him,nobody can go very far..."
