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.

[ Chapter 3 ]

　　　　 - the narrator learns more about from where the little prince came

　　It took me a long time to learn where he came from. The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him. It was from words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed to me.

　　The first time he saw my airplane, for instance , he asked me: What is that object?

　　That is not an object. It flies. It is an airplane. It is my airplane. And I was proud to have him learn that I could fly.

　　He cried out, then: What! You dropped down from the sky?

　　Yes, I answered, modestly.

　　Oh! That is funny!

　　And the little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter, which irritated me very much. I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously.

　　Then he added: So you, too, come from the sky! Which is your planet?

　　At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence; and I demanded, abruptly: Do you come from another planet?
