The Little Prince
by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A downed pilot in the desert, frantically tries to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by a little, well, prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. “In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don’t dare disobey,” the pilot tells his audience. “Absurd as it seemed, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket.” And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the pilot’s imagination – as well as ours – in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.
