A little flower

"Men," said the fox. "They have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise

chickens. These are their only interests. Are you looking for chickens?"

"No," said the little prince. "I am looking for friends. What does that mean--'tame'?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. It means to establish ties."

"'To establish ties'?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just

like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your

part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand

other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique

in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . ."

"I am beginning to understand," said the little prince. "There is a flower . . . I think that

she has tamed me . . ."
