「全文完」
But at another time I say to myself: "At some moment or other one is absent-minded, and that is enough! On some one evening he forgot the glass globe, or the sheep got out, without making any noise, in the night..." And then the little bells are changed to tears...
It was then that the fox appeared.
And no grown-up will ever understand that this is a matter of so much importance!
Here, then, is a great mystery. For you who also love the little prince, and for me, nothing in the universe can be the same if somewhere, we do not know where, a sheep that we never saw has― yes or no― eaten a rose...
我还从未讲过这个故事。火伴们得知我返航，都为我活着返来而欢畅。我很哀痛。但是，我奉告他们：“我只是有点累。”
Look up at the sky. Ask yourselves: is it yes or no Has the sheep eaten the flower And you will see how everything changes...
At one time I say to myself: "Surely not! The little prince shuts his flower under her glass globe every night, and he watches over his sheep very carefully..." Then I am happy. And there is sweetness in the laughter of all the stars.
This is, to me, the loveliest and saddest landscape in the world. It is the same as that on the preceding page, but I have drawn it again to impress it on your memory. It is here that the little prince appeared on Earth, and disappeared.
