Little Prince
Recently, i went to buy a storybook called Little Prince. I knew it was long time ago published, but now den i got the interest in reading it..
The story was interesting and cute.. Many meaningful things..The Little Prince is a fantasy about a pilot, stranded in the Sahara, who meets a small boy from another planet. The boy, who refers to himself as a prince, is on a quest for knowledge. The little prince asks questions of the pilot and tells the pilot of life on his own very small planet. This story is told in a simple fashion, as children's stories typically are, but it is not really a children's story. It is a story of a grown-up who has almost forgotten what is important. It is the story of the pilot's reconnection to his own sense of imagination and wonder. It is the story of the re-opening of the pilot's heart.
The story begins when the author is six-years-old. He draws a picture of a boa constrictor who has just swallowed an elephant. He shows his drawing to a group of adults all of whom believe it to be a drawing of a hat. The author then draws a second picture of a boa constrictor who has eaten an elephant. This time he shows the elephant, clearly, inside the boa constrictor. When he shows his second drawing to the adults they tell him to stop drawing and focus on important subjects like reading, writing and arithmetic.
Recommended people to buy and read. They came out with a comic version.. Try reading it..You will like it..
