"Men have no more time to understand anything.

They buy things all ready made at the shops.

But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship,

and so men have no friends any more.

If you want a friend, tame me..."
"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox.

"First you will sit down at a little distance from me-- like

that-- in the grass.
I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye,

and you will say nothing.

Words are the source of misunderstandings.

But you will sit a little closer to me, every day..."
 

The next day the little prince came back.
"It would have been better to come back at the same hour," said the fox.
"If, for example, you come at four o'clock in the afternoon,

then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy.

I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances.

At four o'clock, I shall already be worrying

and jumping about.

I shall show you how happy I am!

But if you come at just any time,

I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you...

One must observe the proper rites..."

사람들은 이미 뭘 알만한 시간이 없어.

그들은 미리 만들어진 것을 상점에서 산단다.

그러나 친구를 파는 상인은 없어. 그래서 사람들은

친구가 없지.

네가 친구를 갖고 싶다면 나를 길들이렴

어떻게 해야되지

아주 참을성 있어야 해.우선 넌 나와 좀 떨어져서.

바로 그렇게 풀밭에 앉아 있어.

난 곁눈질로 널 볼거야.

말은 하지마.말은 오해의 씨앗이야.

그러나 하루하루 조금씩 가까이 앉아도 돼...

같은 시간에 오는 게 더 좋을거야.

가령 오후 네 시에 네가 온다면 세 시부터

나는 행복해지기 시작할거야.

시간이 갈수로 난 더 행복해질꺼야.

네 시가 되면 나는 벌써 불안하고 안절부절을 못하게 될거야.

난 행복의 가치를 알게 될거야.
