"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." And then he added:
"Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will make you a present of a secret."
The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.

And he went back to meet the fox.
"Goodbye," he said.
"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."
"It is the time I have wasted for my rose — " said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose . . ."
"I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember."

مرۆڤەکان وا بیر دەکەنەوە ئەگەر جارێکیتر لەدایک ببنەوە؛ بە شێوەیەکیتر دەژین، شاد و بەختەوەر دەبن و کەمتر هەڵە دەکەن. وا بیر دەکەنەوە دەتوانن هەموو شتێک سەر لە نوێ دروست بکەنەوە؛ قایم و بێخەش.
بەڵام ئەوە دوورە لە ڕاستی...
ئێمە ئەگەر بوێری بە جۆرێکیتر ژیانکردنمان بووایە، ئەگەر دەسەڵاتی گۆڕانمان پێ بووایە، ئەگەر مرۆڤی سازان بوواین؛ هەر لێرە بەولاوەی ژیانمان ساز دەکرد.
