“And at night you will look up at the stars. Its too small, where I live, for me to show you where my stars is. Its better that way. My star will just be one of the stars, for you. So youll like looking at all of them. Theyll all be your friends. And, besides, I am going to make you a present... He laughed again. Ah, little prince, dear little prince! I love to hear that laughter! That is my present. Just that. It will be as it was when we drank the water... What do you mean? People have stars, but they arent the same. For travelers, the stars are guides. For other people, theyre nothing but tiny lights. And for still others, for scholars, theyre problems. For my businessman, they were gold. But all those stars are silent stars. You, though, youll have stars like nobody else. What do you mean? When you look up at the sky at night, since Ill be living on one of them, since Ill be laughing on one of them, for you itll be as if all the stars are laughing. Youll have stars that can laugh! And he laughed again. And when youre consoled (everyone eventually is consoled), youll be glad youve known me. Youll always be my friend. Youll feel like laughing with me. And youll open your window sometimes just for the fun of it...And your friends will be amazed to see you laughing while youre looking up at the sky. Then youll tell them, Yes, its the stars; they always make me laugh! And theyll think youre crazy. Itll be a nasty trick I played on you... And he laughed again. And itll be as if I had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh...
