I just finished reading The Little Prince one more time. It is one of my favorite books in the world. Since my first time, the drawing of the boa constrictor who ate the elephant was something I promised myself to always remember when I am a grown up....
The Prince asks the narrator to draw a sheep. Not knowing how to draw a sheep, the narrator draws what he knows, a boa
with an elephant in its stomach, a drawing which previous viewers
mistook for a hat. "No! No!", exclaims the Prince. "I don't want a boa
constrictor from the inside or outside. I want a sheep!...". He tries a
few sheep drawings, which the Prince rejects. Finally he draws a box,
which he explains has the sheep inside. The Prince, who can see the
sheep inside the box just as well as he can see the elephant in the
boa, says "That's perfect".

The Little Prince
The Little Prince himself was the sweetest thing in the book. His little planet, his troubles with his flower and his fox make me sad and make me smile.
