He says, “It is OK. Draw me a sheep.”

But I don’t know how to draw a sheep. So I draw him a picture which I can draw. It is a big snake from the outside. And I am shocked when the little man says, “No, I don’t want an elephant inside a big snake. A big snake is a very dangerous animal. And an elephant is very big for me. Where I live, everything is very small. I need a sheep. Draw me a sheep.”

So I make this picture.

The little man looks at the picture. Then he says, “No. This sheep isill. Make me another sheep.”

I draw another picture.

My friend smiles at me, “You must see it too. This is not a sheep. It is aram. It has horns.”

So I make another picture.

But this picture also isn’t good.

“This sheep is old. I want a sheepwhich can live a long time.”

It is not easy for me. I don’t have time for this. I must start my work on the plane. So I draw this picture.

And I say, “This is a box. The sheep is inside.”

I amsurprised when I see the light in his face, “This is what I want! Do you think that this sheep needs a lot of grass?”

“Why?”

“Because where I live, everything is very small.”

“I think that there is enough grass for the sheep. This is a very small sheep.”

The little man looks at the picture. And he says, “The sheep is not very small. It is a very nice sheep.”

This is my first day with the little prince.
