Chapter 8
I am still repairing my plane when the little prince says, “Do you really believe that flowers have thorns because they want tohurt others?”
“No, I don’t believe it! But I don’t want to think about it. I am busy with my plane. It is a serious thing!”
He is shocked.
“Serious thing?”
He looks at me. My hands aretouching the engine. The engine is dirty. My hands are dirty too. The little prince doesn’t like the engine. But the engine is important for me.
“You talk like theadults!”
The little prince is not happy. I know that it is my mistake. I don’t feel OK. But the little princecontinues, “You mix everything together!”
The little prince isangry.
“I know a planet with agentleman with a red face. He doesn’t have a flower. He doesn’t look at stars. He doesn’t love other people. He only counts numbers. And all day he repeats again and again, like you, ‘I am a serious man! I am a serious man!’ And he is very proud. But he is not a man, he is a mushroom!”
“He is a what?”
“A mushroom!”
The little prince is now very angry. His face is white.
“Flowers have thorns. Sheep eat flowers. And you think that it is not good to try to understand why flowers have thorns. There is awar between the sheep and the flowers. And you think that it is not important?”
The little prince is still very angry. He continues.
“You think that the war between the sheep and the flowers is not more important than the numbers of the gentleman with a red face? I know a flower which isthe only flower in the world, which exists only on my planet. It is a flower which a little sheep can eat for breakfast. And you think that this is not important?”
