如许的权力使小王子赞叹不已。如果他把握了如许的权力，那么，他一天就能够不但是看到四十三次日落，而能够看到七十二次，乃至一百次，或是二百次日落，也不需求去挪动椅子了！因为他想起了他那被抛弃的细姨球，内心有点难过，他鼓起勇气向国王提出了一个要求：“我想看日落，要求您……号令太阳落山吧……”
他发明邻近本身的星球另有小行星325、326、327、328、329和330。是以，小王子通过拜访这些邻居星球，开端了他的远行，如许做是为了找到合适的职业，也为了增加知识。
“嗯！嗯！”国王答复，“那么我……号令你偶然候能够打哈欠，偶然候……”
“一点也不错，”国王接着说，“向每小我提出的要求应当是他们所能做到的。权威起首应当建立在理性的根本上。如果号令你的百姓去跳海，他们就会建议反动。我有官僚求别人从命，是因为我的号令是公道的。”
He found himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330. He began, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add to his knowledge.
"Certainly they do," the king said. "They obey instantly. I do not permit insubordination."Such power was a thing for the little prince to marvel at. If he had been master of such complete authority, he would have been able to watch the sunset, not forty-four times in one day, but seventy-two, or even a hundred, or even two hundred times, with out ever having to move his chair. And because he felt a bit sad as he remembered his little planet which he had forsaken, he plucked up his courage to ask the king a favor:"I should like to see a sunset... do me that kindness... Order the sun to set...""If I ordered a general to fly from one flower to another like a butterfly, or to write a tragic drama, or to change himself into a sea bird, and if the general did not carry out the order that he had received, which one of us would be in the wrong" the king demanded. "The general, or myself""You," said the little prince firmly.
