The little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Little Prince first published in 1943, is the most famous work of the French aristocrat writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry .

"But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.
"Yes, that is so," said the fox.
"Then it has done you no good at all!"
"It has done me good," said the fox, "because
