Over the next ten days, as the aviator tries to fix his plane on a fast depleting store of food and water, he also gradually learns the little prince's extraordinary story. The little prince talks of his own tiny planet, his beloved rose, the serious threat of baobabs, and of his travels to different planets. As the sad experiences of the little prince's life are unfurled, so grows the affection for him in the aviator's heart.

Tenía agua apenas para ocho días.

La primera noche dormí sobre la arena a mil millas de toda tierra habitada. Estaba más aislado que un náufrago sobre una balsa en medio del océano. Imaginaos, pues, mi sorpresa cuando, al romper el día, me despertó una extraña vocecita que decía:

-Por favor..., dibújame un cordero! .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This beautiful special edition with a rotating cover is the ideal gift that will delight collectors and early readers alike.

And so I lived alone, with no one really to talk to, until a break- down in the Saharan desert, six years ago. Something had failed in my engine. As I had neither passengers nor a mechanic, I was getting ready to attempt, all on my own, some difficult repairs. It was a matter of life or death.

I had scarcely enough drinking water to last eight days.

That first night I went to sleep on the sand a thousand miles from any human dwelling. I was much more alone than a person ship-wrecked on a raft in the middle of the ocean. So, you can imagine my surprise when, at sunrise, a strange little voice woke me. It said:

Please... draw me a sheep!
