The Little prince

The Little Prince is a child with golden locks and a laugh that sounds
like "a lot of little bells.

He is thoughtful and curious and never lets go of a question once he


has asked it.
• The fox: The fox is wiser than
Characters any other being the Little
Prince has encountered so
far.
• He counsels the Little Prince
on the ways of love and
friendship, beginning with a
lesson on what it means to
care for and need someone.
He calls this being "tamed."

• The rose: The rose is a flower


that mysteriously blooms on
the Little Prince's planet,
Asteroid B-612.
• The snake: With one bite he can
"carry you farther than a ship,"
meaning into the afterlife. Yet he
recognizes the essential innocence
and purity of the Little Prince.
Plot 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.
• The pother 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.
• Finally the prince comes to a planet inhabited by a geographer. The geographer
recommends that the little prince visit Earth.
• 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.
