The Little Prince
I have a niece, she is just one-and-a-half-year-old. She is adorable and cute. In fact, every little thing can make her happy, like talking with her, playing a music for her or just taking her around the park. Her life is simple and satisfying. But as a adult, that’s absolutely not satisfying enough for us, we need more things. I’ve been wondering where one’s childlike purity has gone when he or she grows up. To find the answer, I read The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.
This small book contains a fairy tale, a story about many things. Just like the innocence of childhood and love. The author said that he dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown-up grew, because all grown-up were once children.
The story of The Little Prince is about a prince from an asteroid named B-612, which is a fairly small one, with three volcanoes and a rose on it. He was lonely. He had seen the sunset forty-three times in a day, for endless loneliness and sadness filled up his heart. Fortunately, a beautiful rose enriched his life. She suddenly began growing on the asteroid's surface. The prince says he nourished the rose and listened to her when she told him to make a screen or glass globe to protect her from the cold wind. Although the prince fell in love with the rose, he also began to feel that she was taking advantage of him, and he resolved to leave the planet to explore the rest of the universe. Although the rose finally apologized
for her vanity, and the two reconciled, she encouraged him to go ahead with his journey and so he traveled onward.
After visiting six other asteroids, he came to the earth. He met a fox and tamed it. The fox desired to be tamed and explained to the prince that his rose really was indeed unique and special, because she was the object of the prince's love. The fox also explained that, in a way, the prince had tamed the rose, and that is the reason why the prince was now feeling so responsible for her. As a result, he was eager to see his rose again, but he found himself unable to leave the earth. Finally, the prince chose to go back to his asteroid with the snake’s bite, though he felt afraid of pains.
In fact, what moves me so deeply about the little prince, is his loyalty to the flower. The image of a rose that shine through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep. He tells me what is true love and responsibility.
And I have also touched by his purity as a child. The grown-ups have lost their sensibility to nature and life, which makes them unable to see their own bad features clearly. They began to ignore some tiny happiness, began to lose some sensitive feelings, and began to lose themselves. After read this story, I think the little prince have taught us to pursue the purity, responsibility and imagination. In other words, go back to innocence, and just look at the world in children’ s eyes. Learn to use our hearts to observing everything, not only by the eyes and learn to use
happiness to beat sorrow. To be in the attitude of grateful for the whole world. Just like the fox said, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes.”
( After I read The Little Prince, I am moved by the prince’s attitude toward the world. It is his attitude that brings my sincerity and innocence back. Because of the story of the little prince, I have learnt to live a peaceful life with hope, gentleness, touching, and responsibility about tameness in my heart.)。
