Yesterday I read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. I remember reading this as a little kid, or having it read to me, I’m not sure. All I know is that I loved this story in my younger days. After having read it again now, that hasn’t changed at all, in fact it has only gotten better. I think every adult should read this book at least once in their lifetime, even if you won’t necessarily get a life changing experience out of it it’s still worth it just for the cute story. But you never know, maybe you will?

In short, the story is about a little prince that travels from planet to planet, each one inhabited by a single adult. The little prince then asks each one several questions and partake in conversations with them, learning what each one considers important in life. It’s all very profound, cute and enjoyable.

The ending still resonates inside me and I smile every time I think about it: Look up at the sky. Ask yourself, “Has the sheep eaten the flower or not?” Read the book, and you too can enjoy the full charm of this sentence.
