The little prince

All grown-ups were once children-- although few of them remember it. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down; but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more.
