Little Prince — Chapter 27

　　Little Prince

　　小王子 - Chapter 27

　　- the narrator‘s afterthoughts

　　It was then that the fox appeared.

　　And now six years have already gone by...

　　I have never yet told this story. The companions who met me on my return were well content to see me alive. I was sad, but I told them: "I am tired."

　　Now my sorrow is comforted a little. That is to say-- not entirely. But I know that he did go back to his planet, because I did not find his body at daybreak. It was not such a heavy body... and at night I love to listen to the stars. It is like five hundred million little bells...

　　But there is one extraordinary thing... when I drew the muzzle for the little prince, I forgot to add the leather strap to it. He will never have been able to fasten it on his sheep. So now I keep wondering: what is happening on his planet? Perhaps the sheep has eaten the flower...

　　At one time I say to myself: "Surely not! The little prince shuts his flower under her glass globe every night, and he watches over his sheep very carefully..." Then I am happy. And there is sweetness in the laughter of all the stars.
