The Little Prince is a very famous book. It tells the exciting adventures of a boy from another planet had. On his way of traveling from one planet to another, he meets many interesting people and living creatures on various planets. You will surely love the story as well as the colorful pictures drawn by the author.
On the planets the Little Princess visits, he meets a drunkard, a king, a lamplighter who is very loyal to his job etc. All of them are oddly interesting in some way. However, my favourite character is the lamplighter. Although the lamplighter’s job is very boring and tiring, he still insists on doing his work well. It is trivial but he is dong something meaningful to both himself and the others. The lamplighter is also the only one whom the Little Prince could make friends with.
As we read the conversations between Little Prince and those he meets, we get a chance of thinking from a different perspective, reflecting on our own daily life, reevaluating what we used to believe and follow.
What do you think is the difference between children and adults? According to the Little Prince, adults love figures very much. What would you ask when you first meet a friend? Would you be interested in what he likes doing most when he is free? Or do you want to first know about his age, how many brothers of sisters he has, how much his father earns etc., just like many people do? By asking yourself questions like these, you may then have a clearer idea of what things are important to you.
I am sure you will enjoy the exciting and interesting adventures of Little Prince and get plenty of insights from his words.
