"”You know, my fall to Earth … Tomorrow will be the first anniversary…” Then, after a silence, he continued. “I landed very near here…” And he blushed.
And once again, without understanding why, I felt a strange grief. However, a question occurred to me: “Then it wasn’t by accident that on the morning I met you, eight days ago, you were walking that way, all alone, a thousand miles form any inhabited region? Were you returning to the place where you fell to Earth?”
The little prince blushed again…” (page 72)
….
I felt the enormous homesickness of this little boy. I felt the huge longing for his rose. I understood that he wanted to go back to his little planet with the three vulcanoes. All he had been looking for, he hadn’t found. Tears welled in my eyes and I decided to help him.
I had to repair my plane and, I had to help this little fellow. How could I help him?
When the plane worked, we could try to fly higher and higher. But I didn’t know wether this was possible. After a long time I succeeded in repairing the motor. The plane could start, I fetched the little prince and we left the desert. The little star in the sky that my little friend called his planet was our destination. I knew this expedition could be our last, but I had only one goal: I had to bring back the little prince.
After a long flight between a lot of stars and planets, the little prince was laughing. He said: “In front of us you can see my planet, … and look, there’s my rose!” He was so happy and I was happy too.
I dropped my little friend and returned to Earth.
A few years later I wrote this book to tell all people the story of my best friend, the little prince.
