I soon learned to know that flower better. On the little prince's planet there always been very simple flowers. But this one had grown from a seed blown from who knows where. 

And the little prince ①【  *   *  】 closely watched over a sprout there not like anyothers. It might been a new kind of baobabs. But the shrub soon stooped growing and began to show  ②【sun's】blossoming. The little prince would watched the development of a  ③【  *   】bud , realize some sort of miraculous apparition would emerge from it. 

And then one morning, precisely at sunrise, she showed herself. 

"Ah! I am hardly awake. forgive me. I am still ④【all long 】tidy."

"How lovely you are!"

"Oh! Aren't I? And I was born at the same time as the sun. I believe it's breakfast time, would you so kind attend to me?"

And the little prince utterly abashed, having gone to look for a watering can served the flower. But she soon began tormenting him with her  ⑤【 rather touch  * 】"                

One day, for instance, alluding to refer four thorns, she remarked to the little prince："I am ready for tighter with all their claws."

"There no tigers on my planet. And besides tigers don't eat weeds."

"I am not a weed."

"Oh! Forgive me..."

"I am not at all afraid of tigers. But I have a horror of drafts. You wouldn't have a  ⑥【 *  】 "

"A horror of drafts--that not a good sign for a plant. How completely this flower is."

"After dark you would put me under the glass. How cold it is where you lives, quite uncomfortable. Where I come from I..."

And she suddenly broke off. She had come here a seed, she couldn't know anything about any other world. Humiliated, and having let herself be caught on the verge of so naïve a lie, she coughed two or three times. In order to put the little prince in the wrong. 

"What about the screen?"

"Ah... I was going to go look for one but you were speaking to me. "

Then she made herself cough again. In order to inflict ⑦【 *  】Of remorse him all the same.

So the little prince dispite all the good will of his love, had soon come to mistrust her. It taken seriously certain inconsequential remark made him very unhappy. On the morning of his departure he put his planet in order. And when he watered the flower one last time, and put her under glass. He felt like crying. 

"Goodbye. "

"Goodbye. "

"I have been silly, I... I ask your forgiveness. Try to be happy..."

He was surprised they were no reproaches. He stood there, quite bewildered, holding the glass bell in mid-air. 

"Of courses I love you, it was my fault you never knew. ⑧【Now it doesn't matter】.but you you just as silly as I was. Try to be happy. ⑨【wouldn't 】put the glass down, I don't want it any more."

"But the wind..."

"My cold isn't that bad, night air will do me good. I am a flower."

"But the animals--"

"Well, I need to put up two or three caterpillars if I want to get to know the butterflies. Apparently they are beautiful. But was who ⑩【 * 】Me. You will be far away... As for the big animals-- I am not at all afraid of them. I have... I have my own claws."

And she naively showed her four thorns.

"Don't turn around like this irritating. You made up your mind to leave now. Now, go!"

She didn't want him to see her crying. She's such a proud flower.
