"So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near — Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."
It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ."
Yes, that is so," said the fox.
But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.
Yes, that is so," said the fox.
Then it has done you no good at all!"
It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields."
"People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for...
They don't find it," I answered.
And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."

And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart."

Così il piccolo principe addomesticò la volpe. E quando l'ora della partenza fu vicina:
« Ah! » disse la volpe, « piangerò.»
« La colpa è tua », disse il piccolo principe,
« io non ti volevo far del male, ma tu hai voluto che ti addomesticassi...»
« E' vero », disse la volpe.
« Ma piangerai! » disse il piccolo principe.
« E' certo », disse la volpe.
« Ma allora che ci guadagni? »
« Ci guadagno », disse la volpe, « il colore del grano. »
«Da te, gli uomini», disse il piccolo principe,
«coltivano cinquemila rose
nello stesso giardino...
e non trovano quello
che cercano...»
«Non lo trovano», ripetei.
«E tuttavia quello che cercano potrebbe essere
trovato in una sola rosa o in un po' d'acqua...»
«Certo», confermai.
E il piccolo principe soggiunse:
«Ma gli occhi sono ciechi. Bisogna cercare col cuore.»
