little Prince

Chapter 5

When I was chatting with the little prince, I learned one thing, that is, the planet he lives on is not much bigger than a house.

This fact does not surprise me, for I know that besides a few well-known large planets, there are many other stars, some of which are so small that they cannot be seen with the eye or even with a telescope.To give an example, when an astronomer discovers a small star and names it, he can only use a number, which is called "325 asteroid".

I guess the asteroid where the little prince lives is called "B612".

The asteroid was discovered by a Turk in 1909.At that time, this man announced his discovery to the whole world wearing traditional Turkish clothes, because of his clothes, people all over the world did not believe him.However, at the request of the king of his own country, he reluctantly put on a European costume and made another demonstration.This time everyone believed his discovery.

I tell you about asteroid B612, and tell you about planet numbers, not because of anything else, but to show that these grown-ups love numbers.

When you introduce your friend to adults, they don't ask specific questions about your friend, they just ask, "How old is he? What does he do? How much money does he make? How many brothers does he have? How tall and how heavy is he?" ? How much money does his father earn?" They think knowing this is knowing a friend.

For another example, I said to the adults: "I saw a rose-colored house with a high roof and glazed tiles. There are beautiful patterns on its windows. When the sun shines on it, it will emit colorful rays of light. There are pigeons flying on the roof, and the house is beautiful." If I just said that, they wouldn't be able to imagine what the house would look like.

But if I said to them, "I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs," they would absolutely exclaim, "Oh, God! What a beautiful house that would be, it must be beautiful!"

If you say to them: "The little prince is very beautiful, he likes to smile, and he likes lambs." They will definitely think you are making up a story.

But if you say, "The little prince is from the asteroid B612," they'll believe it.

That's how grown-ups trust numerical descriptions more than your descriptions of things themselves.In fact, children should be more lenient to grown-ups and not complain of such defects to them.Of course, numbering is not an important thing for me.

I wanted to tell this story like a fairy tale, I originally wanted to start like this: "Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet about his size and wished to have a friend..."

For those who really know the joys of life, this is a very attractive beginning.

I hope people can read my story seriously. When I tell these things, I have a very sad emotion.

It has been 6 years since my little prince left me with his lamb.In memory of him, I wrote this story.The passing of my little friend is a sad thing.After all, not everyone will meet their best friend in their life.

So, I bought painting tools and started painting at my age, painting my little prince.

I want to draw him more realistically, but I'm not sure, I'm not sure what I drew, and I'm not sure about the color of his clothes, so I just change here and there, but it's a pity that I can't draw it is always not like.

I think I may have drawn some details wrong, I think this friend of mine will not explain these details about him to me, he thinks I am the same as him, I can understand his various ideas, he Can also understand my thoughts.

However, now I can no longer see the lamb in the small box.I've probably grown up, I must be getting old.
