The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint Exupery

 

- Then the little prince said to me, "Tonight will

be one year. My star will be directly above the

place where I fell last year. It is too small for

me to show you where it is, but I think it's

better that way. My star will be one of the

stars for you, so you'll like to look at all of

them. They all will be your friends. That will

be my present to you. It will be just like the water."

  "I don't understand," I replied.

  He explained, "Stars are guides for travelers.

For others, they're only tiny lights. For scholars,

they're problems and for my businessman, they're money.

However, you will have stars unlike anybody else."

  "What do you mean?" I asked again.

  "Well, when you look up at the stars, you'll know

I'm living on one of them. There I shall be laughing.

And when your sorrow is comported you will be glad that

you've known me. You will always be my friend." ---
