THE LITTLE PRINCE
o |
T
The little prince, he discovers, is visiting from
another planet. The two immediately hit it off
and become good friends over the course of
a week.
We learn that he lives on an asteroid named
B-612, which is as big as a house. On it, there
are three tiny volcanoes that come up to his
knees: two are active, and he uses them to
warm his breakfast; one is extinct, and he
uses it as a footstool. And most importantly,
on his planet is a flower whom he loves.
By Arturo Orozco
his book is a hard one to summarize
because it’s full of pretty lines and deep
thoughts, It is, however, chock full of events,
which occur as follows.
The narrator is disappointed with the world of
adults because they have no imagination and
have all the wrong priorities. He’s had no one he
could really talk to, and has led a pretty lonely
life.
The narrator meets this little guy in the Sahara,
far, far away from all human habitation. The
narrator, who is a pilot, has had an accident with
his plane and has been forced to land in the
desert.
