NOVEL
The Little Prince
Summary:
The narrator introduces himself as a man who learned when he was
a child that adults lack imagination and understanding. He is now a pilot
who has crash-landed in a desert. He encounters a small boy who asks him
for a drawing of a sheep, and the narrator obliges. The narrator, who calls
the child the little prince, learns that the boy comes from a very small
planet, which the narrator believes to be asteroid B-612. Over the course
of the next few days, the little prince tells the narrator about his life. On
his asteroid-planet, which is no bigger than a house, the prince spends his
time pulling up baobab seedlings, lest they grow big enough to engulf the
tiny planet. One day an anthropomorphic rose grows on the planet, and
the prince loves her with all his heart. However, her vanity and demands
become too much for the prince, and he leaves.The prince travels to a
series of asteroids, each featuring a grown-up who has been reduced to a
function. The first is a king who requires obedience but has no subjects
until the arrival of the prince. The sole inhabitant of the next planet is a
conceited man who wants nothing from the prince but flattery. The prince
subsequently meets a drunkard, who explains that he must drink to forget
how ashamed he is of drinking. The fourth planet introduces the prince to
a businessman, who maintains that he owns the stars, which makes it very
important that he know exactly how many stars there are.
The prince then encounters a lamplighter, who follows orders that
require him to light a lamp each evening and put it out each morning, even
though his planet spins so fast that dusk and dawn both occur once every
minute. Finally, the prince comes to a planet inhabited by a geographer.
The geographer, however, knows nothing of his own planet, because it is
his sole function to record what he learns from explorers. He asks the
prince to describe his home planet, but when the prince mentions the
flower, the geographer says that flowers are not recorded because they are
ephemeral. The geographer recommends that the little prince visit Earth.
On Earth the prince meets a snake, who says that he can return him
to his home, and a flower, who tells him that people lack roots. He comes
across a rose garden, and he finds it very depressing to learn that his
beloved rose is not, as she claimed, unique in the universe. A fox then tells
him that if he tames the fox—that is, establishes ties with the fox—then
they will be unique and a source of joy to each other.
The narrator and little prince have now spent eight days in the desert
and have run out of water. The two then traverse the desert in search of a
well, which, miraculously, they find. The little prince tells the narrator
that he plans to return that night to his planet and flower and that now the
stars will be meaningful to the narrator, because he will know that his
friend is living on one of them. Returning to his planet requires allowing
the poisonous snake to bite him. The story resumes six years later. The
narrator says that the prince’s body was missing in the morning, so he
knows that he returned to his planet, and he wonders whether the sheep
that he drew him ate his flower. He ends by imploring the reader to contact
him if they ever spot the little prince.

POEM
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel
both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as
far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better
claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that
the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden
black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way
leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled
by, And that has made all the difference.

position. Instead of helping the people in the right way, people in the
position just sit and did nothing to the society. They just watch the people
around them and spend the people’s taxes.

realize the things that they have done only for themselves. The poor cries
from good governance and good life.
