Toutes les grandes personnes ont d'abord été des enfants (mais peu d'entre elles s'en souviennent). - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Les toutes grandes personnes ont d'abord été des enfants.

I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.

Küçük Prens çölü geçerken bir çiçeğe rastladı yalnız.Üç taçyapraklı önemsiz bir çiçekti bu.

-Günaydın, dedi Küçük Prens.
-Günaydın, dedi çiçek.
-İnsanlar nerede? diye kibarca sordu Küçük Prens.

Çiçek eskiden bir kervan görmüştü.

-İnsanlar mı? diye tekrarladı.Galiba altı yedi tane insan var.Yıllar önce görmüştüm.Ama kim bilir şimdi neredeler?Rüzgarla sürüklenmişlerdir.Kökleri yok, hayatları güç oluyor bu yüzden.

-Hoşçakal, dedi Küçük Prens.
-Hoşçakal, dedi çiçek.

"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.
"You must be very patient," replied the fox. "First you will sit down at a little distance from me — like that — in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day . . ."

The next day the little prince came back.
"It would have been better to come back at the same hour," said the fox. "If, for example, you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o'clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you..."
