The seventh planet was the earth. The earth is not just an ordinary planet! It contains 111 kings, 7000 geographers, 900,000 businessmen, 7,500,000 drunkards, 311,000,000 egotists. In other words--about 2,000,000,000 grown-ups. So, once he reached the earth, the little prince was quite surprised not to see anyone. He was beginning to afraid he come to the wrong planet, when a moon colored loop, uncoiled on the sand. "Who are you?""A snake. ""What planet have I landed on?""On the planet--Earth in the Africa. ""Ah, and are there no people on earth?""It's the desert here, there are no people in the desert. Earth is very big. "The little prince sat down on a rock, and look up into the sky."Look at my planet, it's just over head. But, so faraway. ""It's lovely. What if you come to earth for?""I having difficulty with a flower.""Ah!""Where the people? That's a little lonely in the desert.""It's also lonely with people.""You are a funny creature, no thicker than a finger. ""But I am more powerful than a king's finger.""You are not very powerful. You don't even have a feet, you couldn't travel very far.""I can take you further than a ship."He coiled around the little prince's ankle. like a golden bracelet."Anyone I touch, I send back to land for whence he came. But you are innocent, and you come from a star. I feel sorry for you being so weak on this granitoid earth. I can help you, some day, if you grow too homesick for your planet. I can--""Oh, I understand just what's you mean."And they were both silent.
