Once when I was six years old, I saw a magnificent picture in a book,called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing.
In the book it said:_ Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion._
I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drowing,My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:
I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.
But they answered:_Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?_
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor,so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:
The grown-ups response,this time, was to adviseme to lay aside my drawing of boa constrictors,whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it si tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes.
I have flown a little over all parts of the world:and it is ture that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night,such knowledge is valuable.
Title: The Little : Antoine de St-Exupery.
Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his.
I read the book the little prince this week, and I think it makes a lot of sense.
This book is a pilot tells he met a prince in the Sahara desert, the little prince and pilots about him from an asteroid, he wanted to go out to travel, so the little prince went to seven star, he saw the king of vanity, industrialists, drunkard, lamps, and geographers, came to the earth, he is worried about the lamb eat their flowers, I also dont know if he have to go back to his planet.
The little prince took good care of the little flower, so he loved his flowers.
The little prince is a little sad thing, rouqingshangan distressed people. He used his travel story to let us find some feelings in his experience, those once naive and moved.
Since when did our imagination become weaker? Even to the end, we completely lost it. When did we start looking up at the stars, but we could see stars instead of many good eyes. When was the time we began to think that the sky was green, and when did we begin to think that the world was the way it was, and that there was no more thought and imagination?
Grow up, are you? If you are given the right to choose, don't know if you want to, and feel it with your child's heart, maybe it's a green sky.
A hat frightening? If you see it as a snake to swallow the elephant? In this full of utilitarian world, the big people's eyes Forever only the number of children has long been the world, they have overlooked. It has already lost a child-like purity gone? In order to find the answer to that question, I won the _Little Prince._
_Little Prince_ is a clear spiritual books, is an adult fairy tale written for adults, is a book about life and the lives of the fable. As the book said, the water on the heart is beneficial. And _Little Prince_ on the water like a thorough clarification of people feel warmth and tranquility.
The story of the little prince of life with a serious attitude, he diligently to clear the crater, pulling the monkey bread tree seedlings. However, The Little Prince is a lonely, depressed mood in his time, he would mention a stool chasing the sun to see the sunset. Only enjoy the sunset when the twilight Feelings tenderness that is his only pleasure. He had read 43 times a day sunset, because his heart is full of endless loneliness and sorrow. Fortunately a Rose entered his life, Rose has a quiet tenderness, she will lie was exposed repeatedly cough, she is a beautiful and very proud of flowers. She恋着sad little prince, little prince also sincerely love roses. A trivial matter, however they eventually made to separate the sensitive Little Prince as an angry Rose of Love from doubt, he got out of their own stars, leaving behind Rose and started their own travel alone.
And then he came to Earth, he encountered a small fox, and the request of a small fox domestication her. She believes that if the Little Prince domesticate her, her life will be happy. Little Prince, together with a small fox days, the little prince to understand the unique Rose, and he began to think that Rose tamed him, he must assume responsibility for the roses. Little Prince, where the foxes learned to love, aware of what he wants to pursue things, he is going to leave a small fox to assume his responsibility. Little Prince finally found themselves unable to go back, he places on Earth hovering repeatedly and deeply miss his flowers. Can not go back in the days to come, The Little Prince will be looking at their own stars, he said: _If you fell in love with a grown up in a star on the flowers, then at night, do you feel looking at a pleasant sweetness. All the stars both seem to blooming. _distressed fragile little prince could not bear to miss the pain that he would eagerly go back, and finally he chose to snake venom end their lives, even though he was afraid of the pain, but he think it will be able to cast off their bulky body to go back.
Every time, _Little Prince_, have been such a child-like attitude about the world moving, how naive, childish, could also how pure and sincere. In real life, we are busy throughout the day, such as groups of flies without a soul. The passage of time, childhood away, we have gradually grown up and taken away many years of memories, but also eroded the bottom of my heart to have, That childish innocence.
Because the little prince little story, we live in quiet, the heart has a hope and tenderness, have touched on the responsibility of domestication.
Sometimes we choose life，but this life belongs to others. If we once did it，we would be terrible grown-ups——mixing everything up together，confusing everything，and all day just say that“I’m busy with matters of consequence. ” I don’t want to be that kind of person！Why not choose life of my own？
Every time I’m reading the story，the idea becomes more and more strong. Nothing is meaningful unless you put your love in it.
The little prince lives in the planet B-612 that isn’t any larger than a house. His life is simply with joy. One day，a beautiful angel was born among the simple flower that had only one rings of petals. She was totally a miracle at the sunrise. To the little prince，she was a very complex creature. He couldn’t help falling in love with the flower. But，as he said，he was too young to know how to love her. She always pretended to be proud to conceal her love. Then he went away from his planet to search for something he needed. She didn’t blame him or urge him to stay. Actually she wanted him to be happy. So she chose not to cry and let him go.
During his trip on the earth，he met the fox. At that time，the little prince was looking for men. But the fox beg of him to tame her because she used to live a monotonous life and wanted to have a friend. So，since then，the little prince sat a little closer to her day by day. Thus，the little prince tamed the fox.
But the departure was coming. Hadn’t it helped her in any way？Yeah，it did help her. To each other，they had been unique in the world instead of other thousands of ordinary little boys and foxes！And to the fox，she owned the color of the Wheatfield to remind her of the happiness with the little prince.
Everything changed from the very beginning. And at last，the fox told the little prince her secret：
“It’s only with one’s heart that one can see clearly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Then he understood，it was the time he spent on his flower which made his flower so important.
We may be one of these characters in the book. The flower，the fox，or the little prince. I mean that LOVE and DEPARTURE，MISUNDERSTANDING and SUDDENLY REALIZING are equally valuable.
When loving someone，we should be brave enough. Try to make him happy even if so many tears have been added up to a deep sea.
When someone tames you，the world will be a fantastic wonderland. All other people are just alike，but only he is so unique. Because of those moments of truth，you can see the spirit in this love. Nothing can ever replace it.
It’s a story about life and love. Furthermore，the little prince makes me understand the sweetness in sadness
The hero of this book is the little prince from the outer planet. The book tells of the little prince's journey from his own planet to earth.
Before and after the little prince visited six planets, the cruelty of the complexity of the human world and real life are the little prince cannot get the satisfactory answer of question raised by him, so he felt sad, even cry bitterly. Later, the little prince knew fox and became a good friend with the fox. The fox also kept his secret and the _invisible nature of things that only the heart can see as a gift to the little prince._
Finally, the little prince, with the help of a viper, left earth and returned to his B612 asteroid.
The book, _once a children's adult,_ is not only filled with love-hate emotions but also the brilliance of philosophy. It is a kind of thing, and the adults are used to seeing it rationally, and children tend to start from the heart.
So adults never understand children's world. I think the little prince will come back again when the world is full of love and warmth.
本书的主人公是来自外星球的小王子。书中讲述了小王子从自己星球出发前往地球的经历。
小王子前后访问了6个星球，人类世界的复杂性与现实生活的残酷是小王子无法得到他所提出的问题的满意回答，为此他感到忧郁，甚至还悲伤的哭泣。后来小王子认识小狐狸并和狐狸成为好朋友。小狐狸还把自己的秘密和“肉眼看不见事物的本质只有心才能够洞察一切作为礼物送给小王子。”
最后小王子在毒蛇的帮助下离开了地球回到了他的B612号小行星上。
这本写给“曾经是儿童大人”看的童话中不仅充满爱恨分明的情感还闪烁着哲理的光辉。同是一种事物，大人习惯用理性的`眼光来看待，而孩子往往是从心灵出发的。
所以大人永远不懂孩子的世界。我想，当这个世界充满爱和温馨的时候，小王子还会再回来的。
