今天與大家分享的是《小王子》經(jīng)典故事。

"It is a question of discipline," the little prince said to me later on. "When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care. You must see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs, at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their earliest youth. It is very tedious work," the little prince added, "but very easy."

And one day he said to me: "You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is. That would be very useful to them if they were to travel some day. Sometimes," he added, "there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day. But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe. I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes…"

So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, that for once I am breaking through my reserve. "Children," I say plainly, "watch out for the baobabs!"
My friends, like myself, have been skirting this danger for a long time, without ever knowing it; and so it is for them that I have worked so hard over this drawing. The lesson which I pass on by this means is worth all the trouble it has cost me.

Perhaps you will ask me, "Why are there no other drawing in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?"

The reply is simple. I have tried. But with the others I have not been successful. When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.

“這是個(gè)紀(jì)律問題。”小王子后來(lái)向我解釋道。“當(dāng)你早上梳洗完畢以后， 必須仔細(xì)地給星球梳洗，必須規(guī)定自己按時(shí)去拔掉猴面包樹苗。這種樹苗小的時(shí)候與玫瑰苗差不多，一旦可以把它們區(qū)別開的時(shí)候，就要把它拔掉。這是一件非 常乏味的工作，但很容易。”

有一天，他勸我用心地畫一副漂亮的圖畫，好叫我家鄉(xiāng)的孩子們對(duì)這件事有 一個(gè)深刻的印象。他還對(duì)我說(shuō)：“如果將來(lái)有一天他們出外旅行，這對(duì)他們是很有用的。有時(shí)候，人們把自己的工作推到以后去做，并沒有什么妨害，但要遇到 拔猴面包樹苗這種事，那就非造成大災(zāi)難不可。我遇到過一個(gè)星球，上面住著一個(gè)懶家伙，他放過了三棵小樹苗……”

于是，根據(jù)小王子的說(shuō)明，我把這個(gè)星球畫了下來(lái)。我從來(lái)不大愿意以道學(xué) 家的口吻來(lái)說(shuō)話，可是猴面包樹的危險(xiǎn)，大家都不大了解，對(duì)迷失在小行星上的人來(lái)說(shuō)，危險(xiǎn)性非常之大，因此這一回，我貿(mào)然打破了我的這種不喜歡教訓(xùn)人的 慣例。我說(shuō)：“孩子們，要當(dāng)心那些猴面包樹呀！”為了叫我的朋友們警惕這種危險(xiǎn)——他們同我一樣長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)和這種危險(xiǎn)接觸，卻沒有意識(shí)到它的危險(xiǎn)性—— 我花了很大的功夫畫了這副畫。我提出的這個(gè)教訓(xùn)意義是很重大的，花點(diǎn)功夫是很值得的。你們也許要問，為什么這本書中別的畫都沒有這副畫那么壯觀呢？回 答很簡(jiǎn)單：別的畫我也曾經(jīng)試圖畫得好些，卻沒成功。而當(dāng)我畫猴面包樹時(shí)，有一種急切的心情在激勵(lì)著我。
