"Good morning," said the little prince. 

"Good morning," said the merchant. This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quenchthirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel noneed of anything to drink. 

"Why are you selling those?" asked the little prince. 

"Because they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant.

 "Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save

fifty-three minutes in every week." 

"And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?"

 "Anything you like..." 

"As for me," said the little prince to himself, "if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisuretoward a spring of fresh water."
