어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 7

I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck.

 

I blinked my eyes hard.

 

I looked carefully all around me.

 

And I saw a most extraordinary small person,

 

who stood there examining me with great seriousness.

 

Here you may see the best potrait that, later,

 

I was able to make of him.

 

But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than its model.

 

That, however, is not my fault.

 

The grown-ups discouraged me in my painter's career when I was six years old,

 

and I never learned to draw anything, except boas from the outside and boas from the inside.

 

Now I stared at this sudden apparition with my eyes fairly starting out of my head in astonishment.

 

Remember, I had crashed in the desert a thousand miles from any inhabited region.

 

And yet my little man seemed neither to be straying uncertainly among the sands, nor to be fainting from fatigue

or hunger or thirst or fear.

 

Nothing about him gave any suggestion of a child lost in the middle of the desert, a thousand

miles from any human habitation.

 

When at last I was able to speak, I said to him:

 

"But- what are you doing here?"

 

And in answer he repeated, very slowly, as if he were speaking of a matter of great consequence:

 

"If you please- draw me a sheep. "
