Little Prince — Chapter 26

　　Little Prince

　　小王子 - Chapter 26

　　- the little prince converses with the snake; the little prince consoles the narrator; the little prince returns to his planet

　　Beside the well there was the ruin of an old stone wall. When I came back from my work, the next evening, I saw from some distance away my little price sitting on top of a wall, with his feet dangling. And I heard him say:

　　"Then you don‘t remember. This is not the exact spot."

　　Another voice must have answered him, for he replied to it:

　　"Yes, yes! It is the right day, but this is not the place."

　　I continued my walk toward the wall. At no time did I see or hear anyone. The little prince, however, replied once again:

　　"--Exactly. You will see where my track begins, in the sand. You have nothing to do but wait for me there. I shall be there tonight."

　　I was only twenty metres from the wall, and I still saw nothing.

　　After a silence the little prince spoke again:

　　"You have good poison? You are sure that it will not make me suffer too long?"

　　I stopped in my tracks, my heart torn asunder; but still I did not understand.
