思考了一会儿，他又说道：

“这是你的错误，”小王子说，“我本来并不想带给你任何痛苦，可你却要我顺服你……”

“你不是这里人。”狐狸说，“你来寻觅甚么？”

"You are not at all like my rose," he said. "As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world."And the roses were very much embarrassed.

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.
