《Chapter 02》-2

When a mystery is too overpowering, one dare not disobey. Absurd as it might seem to me, a thousand miles from any human habitation and in danger of death, I took out of my pocket a sheet of paper and my fountain-pen. But then I remembered how my studies had been concentrated on geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar, and I told the little chap (a little crossly, too) that I did not know how to draw. He answered me:
"That doesn't matter. Draw me a sheep…"
But I had never drawn a sheep. So I drew for him one of the two pictures I had drawn so often. It was that of the boa constrictor from the outside. And I was astounded to hear the little fellow greet it with,
"No, no, no! I do not want an elephant inside a boa constrictor. A boa constrictor is a very dangerous creature, and an elephant is very cumbersome. Where I live, everything is very small. What I need is a sheep. Draw me a sheep."
So then I made a drawing.

He looked at it carefully, then he said:
"No. This sheep is already very sickly. Make me another."
So I made another drawing.

My friend smiled gently and indulgently.
"You see yourself," he said, "that this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns."
So then I did my drawing over once more.

But it was rejected too, just like the others.
"This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time."
By this time my patience was exhausted, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart. So I tossed off this drawing.
And I threw out an explanation with it.

"This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside."
I was very surprised to see a light break over the face of my young judge:
"That is exactly the way I wanted it! Do you think that this sheep will have to have a great deal of grass?"
"Why?"
"Because where I live everything is very small…"
"There will surely be enough grass for him," I said. "It is a very small sheep that I have given you."
He bent his head over the drawing:
"Not so small that-- Look! He has gone to sleep…"
And that is how I made the acquaintance of the little prince.

我就給他畫了。
他專心地看著，隨后又說(shuō)：
“我不要，這只羊已經(jīng)病得很重了。給我重新畫一只。”
我又畫了起來(lái)。
我的這位朋友天真可愛(ài)地笑了，并且客氣地拒絕道：“你看，你畫的不是小羊，是頭公羊，還有犄角呢。”
于是我又重新畫了一張。
這副畫同前幾副一樣又被拒絕了。
“這一只太老了。我想要一只能活得長(zhǎng)的羊。”
我不耐煩了。因?yàn)槲壹庇谝獧z修發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，于是就草草畫了這張畫，并且匆匆 地對(duì)他說(shuō)道：
“這是一只箱子，你要的羊就在里面。”
這時(shí)我十分驚奇地看到我的這位小評(píng)判員喜笑顏開(kāi)。他說(shuō)：
“這正是我想要的，……你說(shuō)這只羊需要很多草嗎？”
“為什么問(wèn)這個(gè)呢？”
“因?yàn)槲夷抢锏胤椒浅Ｐ　?br />“我給你畫的是一只很小的小羊，地方小也夠喂養(yǎng)它的。”
他把腦袋靠近這張畫。
“并不象你說(shuō)的那么小……瞧！它睡著了……”
就這樣，我認(rèn)識(shí)了小王子。
