어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 -5

Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted,

 

I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept.

 

I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding.

 

But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say:

 

"That is a hat."

 

Then I would never talk to that person about boa constric-tors, or primeval forests, or stars.

 

I would bring myself down to his level.

 

I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties.

 

And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
