"Well" said the geographer expectantly.

“我另有一朵花。”

"My flower is ephemeral," the little prince said to himself, "and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left her on my planet, all alone!"That was his first moment of regret. But he took courage once more.

“这是能够的。是以，如果探险家的品德不错，就调查他的发明。”

“不。那太庞大了。但是要求探险家提出证据来。比方，借使他发明了一座大山，就要求他带来一些大石头。”

“我们不记录它们，”地理学家说，“因为花草是长久的。”

“我不晓得。”地理学家说。

“这一大本厚厚的是甚么书？你在这里干甚么？”小王子问道。

"Because intoxicated men see double. Then the geographer would note down two mountains in a place where there was only one.""I know some one," said the little prince, "who would make a bad explorer.""That is possible. Then, when the moral character of the explorer is shown to be good, an inquiry is ordered into his discovery.""One goes to see it"

“恰好，你是从远方来的！你是个探险家！你来给我先容一下你的星球吧！”

"What is that big book" said the little prince. "What are you doing""I am a geographer," the old gentleman said to him.

The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. It was inhabited by an old gentleman who wrote voluminous books.

“我的花是很快就会消逝的吗？”
