今天與大家分享的是《小王子》經典故事。

"It is a question of discipline," the little prince said to me later on. "When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care. You must see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs, at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their earliest youth. It is very tedious work," the little prince added, "but very easy."

And one day he said to me: "You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is. That would be very useful to them if they were to travel some day. Sometimes," he added, "there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day. But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe. I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes…"

So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, that for once I am breaking through my reserve. "Children," I say plainly, "watch out for the baobabs!"
My friends, like myself, have been skirting this danger for a long time, without ever knowing it; and so it is for them that I have worked so hard over this drawing. The lesson which I pass on by this means is worth all the trouble it has cost me.

Perhaps you will ask me, "Why are there no other drawing in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?"

The reply is simple. I have tried. But with the others I have not been successful. When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.

“這是個紀律問題。”小王子后來向我解釋道。“當你早上梳洗完畢以后， 必須仔細地給星球梳洗，必須規定自己按時去拔掉猴面包樹苗。這種樹苗小的時候與玫瑰苗差不多，一旦可以把它們區別開的時候，就要把它拔掉。這是一件非 常乏味的工作，但很容易。”

有一天，他勸我用心地畫一副漂亮的圖畫，好叫我家鄉的孩子們對這件事有 一個深刻的印象。他還對我說：“如果將來有一天他們出外旅行，這對他們是很有用的。有時候，人們把自己的工作推到以后去做，并沒有什么妨害，但要遇到 拔猴面包樹苗這種事，那就非造成大災難不可。我遇到過一個星球，上面住著一個懶家伙，他放過了三棵小樹苗……”

于是，根據小王子的說明，我把這個星球畫了下來。我從來不大愿意以道學 家的口吻來說話，可是猴面包樹的危險，大家都不大了解，對迷失在小行星上的人來說，危險性非常之大，因此這一回，我貿然打破了我的這種不喜歡教訓人的 慣例。我說：“孩子們，要當心那些猴面包樹呀！”為了叫我的朋友們警惕這種危險——他們同我一樣長期以來和這種危險接觸，卻沒有意識到它的危險性—— 我花了很大的功夫畫了這副畫。我提出的這個教訓意義是很重大的，花點功夫是很值得的。你們也許要問，為什么這本書中別的畫都沒有這副畫那么壯觀呢？回 答很簡單：別的畫我也曾經試圖畫得好些，卻沒成功。而當我畫猴面包樹時，有一種急切的心情在激勵著我。
