어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 9

"No. This sheep is already very sickly. Make me another."

 

So I made another drawing.

 

My friend smiled gently and indulgenty.

 

"You see yourself," he said,

 

"hat this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns."

 

 

So then I did my drawing over once more.

 

But it was rejected too, just like the others.

 

"This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time."

By this time my patience was exhausted, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart.

 

So I tossed off this drawing.

 

And I threw out an explanation with it.

 

"This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside."

 

I was very surprised to see a light break over the face of my young judge.

 

"That is exactly the way I wanted it!

 

Do you think that this sheep will have to have a great deal of grass?"

 

"Why?"

 

"Because where I live everything is very small.."

 

"There will surely be enough grass for him." I said.

 

"It is a very small sheep that I have given you."

 

He bent his head over the drawing:

 

"Not so small that- Look! He has gone to sleep..."

 

And that is how I made the acquaintance of the little prince.
