little Prince

Chapter 6

Every day I learn something about the planet of the little prince, why he left there and why he travels.

These are known bit by bit in what he said.In this way, I learned about the baobab tree on the third day I knew the little prince.

That time the topic started with sheep.The little prince suddenly asked me: "Do lambs eat small bushes?"

"um, yes."

"Ah, that's really a happy thing."

I don't understand what makes sheep happy eating small bushes. At this time, the little prince said to me again: "So, sheep will also eat baobabs?"

In my mind, a baobab tree is one of those big, thick trees that a lamb can't possibly eat.So I said to the little prince that the baobab is a big tree like a house, not a small shrub.Not even a herd of elephants can eat a single baobab.

The little prince was obviously amused by my statement. “I can stack the elephants one on top of the other so they are tall enough to eat a baobab tree,” he said.

He also told me that even the baobab tree starts out as a tiny sapling.

"That's true, but why are you so happy that the lamb went to eat the little baobab?"

"It doesn't need to be said." It seems that I will know the answer without explaining, but I really don't understand the reason for this matter.

It turns out that the planet where the little prince lives is the same as the earth. There are good plants and bad plants. Therefore, there are also good seeds and bad seeds, and they all sleep in the ground at first.When the seeds are about to germinate, they all stretch out, break through the shell, and begin to grow.If it's a young radish or a flower, let it grow freely; if it's a bad one, pull it out as soon as you recognize it, because on the planet of the little prince there are some very terrible seeds-- Like the baobab tree, in the soil of this planet, there are so many of these seeds that it becomes a disaster.

A baobab, if you pull it up when it's a little bigger it's too late, and then it can never be cleared away.Its roots grow deeper and deeper, and eventually penetrate the entire planet. The little prince's planet is very small. If there are many baobab trees, the planet will be torn apart by the roots of those baobab trees.

"It's a matter of probability," said the little prince to me. "When you wash up in the morning, you have to wash the planet. You have to pull out the saplings of the baobab tree. When they are young, they are like roses. They can be distinguished, but they have to be pulled out. It's a tedious job."

On this day, the little prince told me that he wanted me to draw a picture for him, to draw the story of the baobab tree well, and leave it for future generations to make them have a deep impression on this kind of thing.He also said to me: "If they travel in the future, it will also be useful for them. Sometimes people put off the work they should do until later, thinking that it's okay, and they will do it anyway. But if you encounter a monkey Things like bread tree saplings are bound to cause a great disaster. I have encountered such a thing. There is a lazy guy who lives on a planet. He always saves what he needs to do for later. Do, so there was a big disaster. One time he didn't clean up his planet on time, thinking it was okay if he didn't clean up for a day, and ended up leaving 3 baobab saplings. As a result, the planet is now shattered by baobabs. "

So, according to the description of the little prince, I drew a picture for the planet broken by the baobab tree.

Before, I never liked to talk to people in a lecturing tone, but since then I often say to people: "Children, be careful of food like baobab trees. Today's things must be done today, not until tomorrow "I want them to pay attention to this kind of thing that they usually ignore, because if this hidden danger is ignored, terrible things may happen and important things will be lost.

Many people who see my painting will ask me why it is so magnificent?

All I can say is that there is an urgency overseeing this baobab thing and making me remind others to take heed too.
