“我的小家伙，现在还说甚么狐狸！”
他累了，他坐下来。我在他身边坐下。沉默了一会儿，他又说道：“星星是很美的，因为有一朵人们看不到的花……”
我答复道：“是的。”然后我就不再多说甚么，只是冷静地看着月光下戈壁的起伏的波浪。
"Because I am about to die of thirst..."He did not follow my reasoning, and he answered me:"It is a good thing to have had a friend, even if one is about to die. I, for instance, am very glad to have had a fox as a friend...""He has no way of guessing the danger," I said to myself. "He has never been either hungry or thirsty. A little sunshine is all he needs..."But he looked at me steadily, and replied to my thought:"I am thirsty, too. Let us look for a well..."I made a gesture of weariness. It is absurd to look for a well, at random, in the immensity of the desert. But nevertheless we started walking.
“我真欢畅，你和我的狐狸的观点一样。”小王子说。
“戈壁真标致。”小王子又说道。
“他毫不成能认识到如许的伤害。”我本身考虑着，“他不晓得饥渴。只要有点阳光，他就满足了……”
看到他稍稍伸开嘴唇暴露一丝浅笑，我在内心说：“在这个熟睡了的小王子身上，打动我的，是他对他那朵花的虔诚，是在贰心中闪动的那朵玫瑰花的形象。这朵玫瑰花，即便在小王子睡着了的时候，也像一盏灯的火焰一样在他身上闪烁着光辉……”这时，我就感遭到他更加脆弱。我感觉我需求去庇护他，哪怕他是一点风便能够吹灭的火焰……就如许走着，我在拂晓时发明了水井。
我不懂他的话是甚么意义，可我也不作声……我非常清楚几次查问他是不成能的。
小王子睡觉了，我就把他抱在怀里，又重新上路了。我很打动，就仿佛抱着一个脆弱的宝贝。在地球上没有比这更脆弱的了。我借着月光，看着他惨白的面额，这双紧闭的眼睛，这随风飞舞的卷发，这时我对本身说道：“我所看到的仅仅是表面。最首要的是看不见的……”
"The desert is beautiful," the little prince added.
