Note: This story had a twist and was actually based on 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the French novella about growing up.

"The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen...it is much farther...it is much more difficult. I cannot carry this body with me. But it will be like an old abandoned shell. There's nothing sad about old shells." - The Little Prince

"I was born at the same moment as the sun. If you would have the kindness to think of my needs." - The Red Rose

"If you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible is invisible to the eye." - The Fox

"I do not permit insubordination. You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But according to my science of government, I shall wait until conditions are favorable. That would be about--this evening about twenty minutes to eight." - The King Of The Stars

"It is to raise in salute when people acclaim me. Do you really admire me very much? To admire means that you regard me as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest...and the most intelligent man on this planet. Do me this kindness. Admire me just the same." - The Conceited Vain Man

"I am drinking...so that I may forget. Forget that I am ashamed. Ashamed of drinking!" - The Drunk Tippler Man

"Little golden objects that set lazy men to idle dreaming. As for me, I am concerned with matters of consequence. There is no idle dreaming in my life. It does the good of making me rich. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours." - The Business Man

"Those are the orders. There is nothing to understand. Orders are orders. I follow a terrible profession. In the old days, it was reasonable. I had the rest of the day for relaxation and the rest of the night for sleep. That doesn't do me much good. The only thing I love in life is to sleep." - The Lamplighter Man

"A geographer is a scholar who knows the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains and rivers. Because an explorer who told lies would bring disaster on the books of a geographer. So would an explorer who drank too much." - The Geographer Man

"It is also lonely among men. But I am more powerful than the finger of a king. I can carry you farther than any ship could take you." - The Snake

"I sort out travellers, in bundles of a thousand. These are not the same ones. It is an exchange. No one is ever satisfied where he is. They are pursuing nothing at all." - The Railway Switchman

"They save a tremendous amount of time. Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week." - The Merchant Man

"Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. For I do not want anyone to read my book carelessly. I have suffered too much grief in setting down these memories. If I try to describe him here, it is to make sure that I shall not forget him. To forget a friend is SAD. Not everyone has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures." - The Aviator
