The Little Prince - Book

A pilot crashes in the desert and meets a little prince who comes from a small asteroid. The prince cares for his tiny planet and loves a special rose. However, he leaves after a disagreement with the rose. While traveling, he visits different planets and finds that grown-ups act strangely. They are obsessed with their roles and possessions, except for a faithful lamplighter.

Eventually, the little prince arrives on Earth but can't find any people. He meets a snake that offers to take him back to the stars but declines. He explores, talks to a flower, and listens to echoes on a mountain. Finding a rose garden disappoints him because he thought his rose was unique.

The prince befriends a fox who teaches him about love and responsibility. Although he now understands the importance of his rose, he's still lonely. The story ends with the pilot searching for water with the prince and preparing to leave the desert, while the prince decides to return to his asteroid.

Later, the pilot believes the little prince returned home and finds comfort in the stars. Still, he wonders about his friend and asks readers to let him know if the little prince ever comes back.
