thing he knew how to draw the boy rejected his drawing of an elephant inside snake and demanded sheep instead though surprised that the boy saw the drawing for what it really was The Aviator drew sheep for him to the best of his abilities but again the boy rejected it claiming it was too sick and this went on and on with the Sheep being too old or the sheep being ram instead finally after the

asteroid barely bigger than himself with three volcanoes and hidden baobab seeds within its soil every day the little prince would dutifully clean his volcanoes and dig up any sprouting baobab seeds because his small asteroid was always in danger of being overrun by humongous terrifying baobab trees one day new seed appeared on his planet and the Prince waited and waited for it until bloomed into beautiful rose unlike anything he had ever seen the rows for all her precious beauty was very vain and soon became very nagging and the man during pestering the prince constantly about the coal and imaginary winds at the same time bragging about her for thorns and her beauty and the prince had to keep on caring for her putting up schwinn shields putting her in glass cage eventually the prince grew tired of her and decided to leave the asteroid only now too late the little prince realized that his rose as annoying as she was had indeed loved him so very much she had not showed it with her words but she had shared with him her fragrance and her beauty too bad the prince had been too young to understand and appreciate her grace and so after Lou Prince left he wandered through space meeting curious figures along the way on one planet he met grandiose King who was lonely for someone to rule over on another an alcoholic who drank to forget his shame of being an alcoholic

spoke in riddles the snake told him of the loneliness among men the massiveness of planet Earth and after lil Prince's own innocence the snake promised to help him one day if the low Prince grew too homesick to send him back to the place he came from similar to his journey among the stars the low Prince wandered the planet to meet cast of curious characters but this time they were much more mysterious on our evelle planet blonde flower in the sand and echo in the mountains railway worker sending travelers back and forth merchant selling pills to quench your thirst and the garden full of roses just like his own encountering this garden full of the rose that he thought was unique to him the lil prince was overcome with sadness and couldn't help but cry and cry it was then the little prince met the Fox for the first time the Fox asked the little prince to tame him which means to make connection to someone to be tamed by someone he explained was learning to love them while he was one Fox among hundred thousand just like him if he were to be tamed by the little prince they will learn to need each other among all the hundred thousand men and all the hundred thousand foxes in the world they alone would know each other and so the little prince decided to tame the Fox slowly gradually day by day because taming someone takes time and ritual the Fox and little prince grew to be closer and closer the Fox previously so bored by the stupidity of chickens and the regular routine of hunters slowly began to find joy in the smallest things the little princes footsteps as he walked towards him and the color of wheat which reminded him of the little princes beautiful gold hair when it was time for little prince to leave and the Fox was about to cry because of this he came to realize something very very important the little prince had been tamed by his rose who he had left on his planet he had spent countless time much like he had with the Fox watering her preening her sheltering her protecting her loving her it was exactly this time he spent with his rose that made her so important to him and because he had tamed her he would always be responsible for her people become responsible forever for what they tame and that is how the little prince came to leave the Fox it was on the eighth day of the little prince and the Aviators meeting that he finished telling him his story coincidentally their water supply ran out and the prince and the aviator took to the desert to look for well along the way the little prince commented that the desert was so beautiful because of the precious water hidden in its debts when they found well the little prince decided to give the aviator gift because the Aviators plane was nearly fixed by that point and he was leaving and you must say goodbye properly the little prince told The Aviator that he too was going home and that from then on he would know that he was in the stars and when he laughed all the stars would laugh with him just for The Aviator in the end on the last night together the little prince left the Aviator and look for the snake he had met so long ago the snake bit him and sent him back home The Aviator was sad of course but he never stopped drawing again and he wrote this book and shared with the world the core of the little prince is simple truth that lot of us have forgotten and only few us ever learn again that the true value of things can only be felt with your heart rather than seen with your eye like the Fox says in the book what is essential is invisible to the eye all these grown-ups in this book and all of us tend to get too focused on quantities appearances social status logic but underneath it all aren't we all striving for something else isn't it more important to be with those we love isn't it more important to do things that bring you joy rather than follow the status quo isn't it more important to know the character and personality of someone then their salary their looks or their house is creativity and imagination really as unimportant as numbers and facts and the end we grown-ups are lacking an important part of ourselves if we choose to ignore our hearts thank you guys so much for listening / watching our video if you liked that summary you can buy the book de Ville prints at books Mandela and if you like that video please subscribe to our
