There once was a little prince, who lived on a small planet in space, no bigger than a house. One day, on this little asteroid, a rose grew under the attentive care of the little prince. He loved the rose dearly, though she was a spoiled little thing. She cast her beautiful perfume over the prince's home, but she also spoke quite cruely to him,

The Little Prince.

...which was originally written in French, wasn't it?

[sansbaguette]

Oui, by one of my aviators. You've read it?

[hotshot_momma]

I remember bits and pieces of it from my childhood... funny that my parents would choose that.

[sansbaguette]

It's a very popular tale, all around the world, for children. Your parents had good taste, obviously.

Maman, now I want to find a copy of Le Petit Prince.

[sansbaguette]

There is a library, but I'm not sure if they have it...

[welljustwatchme]

I don't know whether to check and be terribly disappointed when they don't or not bother.

[sansbaguette]

When I looked myself, the books were of a very interesting nature... But I'm not sure if this fits la Rein's tastes, so much.

[aunomdedieu]

That's a lovely story.

[sansbaguette]

Isn't it? There is much more to it, of course.

[aunomdedieu]

I'd think so. It didn't seem like it should have ended there.

... and I'm not sure whether to expect any warnings from the Queen. She doesn't seem to be inclined to provide them.

[sansbaguette]

I believe she has good intentions, but she seems rather naïve and misguided, really.

[sheroic]

Could you get more boring? [ Did you expect her to read all that hahahahahahaha. ]

[sansbaguette]

It is a very enchanting tale of childlike imagination! [Come on, the guy wrote it while living in New York.]

[sheroic]

Roses are totally pretty and all, but I don't get the rest!

What happened? [ But tl;dr! ]

[sansbaguette]

[Sighs.] The little prince travelled from planet to planet, meeting many different people whose perspectives on life made him examine his own and indulge in deep thought. It contrasts the foolishness of adult logic with the untainted views of children.

If I didn't know any better, I would say someone sounded angry.

[sansbaguette]

Oh? I wonder who.

[beerjugs]

I wonder the same.

I think it suits you.

[sansbaguette]

The story? It's from a children's book, one of mine wrote it. This is only a small part of the whole tale, however.
