The Little Prince

by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“It’s all about discipline”, the Little Prince told me later. “After making yourself tidy in the morning it’s time to clean your planet very carefully. You need to make sure that baobabs are extracted in time and on a regular basis, just at the moment when you can distinguish them from the roses that they are so similar to in the early stages.” “It’s very painstaking work”, the Little Prince added. “But it is very easy.”

“Goodbye”, said the fox. “And here is my secret. It is very simple: you may see the truth only with your heart. Everything that is important can’t be seen.” “Everything that is important can’t be seen”, the Little Prince repeated to memorize it better. “The time, that you have spent with your rose, makes it so important.”
