Take the subway for a while every morning. When I got to Xizhimen for line 2, the crowd swallowed up me like a huge torrent. Standing in the carriage, I took out the yellow cover booklet, and my mood was quite calm. Each read will have a new feeling. A nice chapter is the dialogue between the little prince and the fox about the rose.
The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.
"You are not at all like my rose," he said. "As yet you are nothing. no one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. you are like my fox when I first knew him. he was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. but I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world."
And the roses were very much embarrassed.
"You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on. "One coshould not die for you. to be sure, an ordinary passerby wowould think that my Rose looked just like you -- the rose that belongs to me. but in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (could t the two or three that we saved to become butterflies ); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing. because she is my rose.
And he went back to meet the fox.
"Goodbye," he said.
"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"What is essential is invisible to the eye," The Little Prince repeated, so that He wocould be sure to remember.
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important ."
"It is the time I have wasted for my rose --" said the little prince, so that He wowould be sure to remember.
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. you become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. you are responsible for your Rose..."
"I am responsible for my rose," The Little Prince repeated, so that He wocould be sure to remember.
Then the little prince went to see those roses again.
"You are not like my rose at all. You are nothing else !" The little prince said to them. "No one has tame you, and you have never tame anyone. You are like my fox in the past. It was just a fox like ten million other foxes at that time. However, I have considered it as my friend, so it is now unique in the world ."
At this moment, those roses look very embarrassed.
"You are beautiful, but you are empty ." The little prince is still saying to them, "No one can die for you. Of course, Luo, my rose, an ordinary passer-by thinks she is the same as you. However, she alone is more important than all of you, because she is watered by me. Because she put me in the hood. Because she was protected by a screen. Because the caterpillars on her (except for leaving two or three to change the butterfly) are destroyed by me. Because I have listened to her grievances and self-esteem, and sometimes I have listened to her silence. Because she is my rose ."
He went back to the fox.
"Goodbye ." Said the little prince.
"Goodbye ." Said fox. "Nobody, This is my secret. Easy: You can see it clearly only with your heart. The material is invisible to the eyes ."
"The material is invisible to the eyes ." The little prince repeats this sentence so that it can be kept in mind.
"Because you have spent time on your rose, it makes your rose so important ."
"It's because you have spent time on your Rose ......" The little prince repeats again to make himself remember this.
"People have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "However, you should not forget it. Now you have to take responsibility for what you have been tame. You are responsible for your Rose ......"
"I want to take responsibility for my Rose ......" The little prince repeats ......
