So,/the last planet he visited/was Earth.//
The prince saw tall mountains and many roses.//
He was sad to discover/that his volcanoes and rose were not so special.//
Then a fox appeared.//
The prince wanted to play with him,/but the fox said,/“I’m not tamed.”//
The little prince asked,/“What does tame mean?”//
The fox explained,/“To tame me,/you must be patient until you feel/that I am unique/in all the world.”//
The little prince listened carefully.//
He took his time/and finally became friends with the fox.//
The little prince learned a valuable lesson/from the fox.//
There were thousands of roses in the universe,/but now he knew/that his rose was the special one.//
The fox said,/“Sometimes we cannot see the most important things.//
We can see them clearly/only with our hearts.//
And then we become responsible forever/for the things we have tamed.”//
I wanted to be together/with the little prince forever,/but he had been bitten/by a poisonous snake/and had collapsed in the sand.//
But,/I’m sure/his wish to cherish his beloved rose will continue to live on somewhere.//
When I look up at the stars in the night sky,/I think about the little prince.//
Sometimes I feel sad.//
I hope/that he is still taking care of his rose.//
If the little prince comes back one day,/please tell me.//
