‘I am looking for friends. What does “tame” mean?’ ‘It is something which is too often forgotten,’ said the fox. ‘It means to establish ties…’ ‘“To establish ties”?’ ‘That’s right,’ said the fox. ‘To me, you are still just a little boy like a hundred other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you have no need of me, either. To you, I am just a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we shall need one another. To me, you will be unique. And I shall be unique to you.’
