我也坐了下来，因为我再也站立不住了。他说道：“就是现在……就如许了。”
我清楚地感到产生了某种不平常的事。我把他当作小孩一样紧紧抱在怀里，仿佛他径直地向着一个无底深渊坠下去，我想要拉住他，却甚么也做不了……他的眼神很严厉，望着悠远的处所。
“你到底想说甚么？”
“我回家要远很多……要难很多……”
因而，我也朝墙脚下看去，一下子就被吓到了。就在那边，有一条黄蛇正抬头冲着小王子。这类黄蛇半分钟就能成果人的性命。我一面从速掏口袋，拔脱手枪，同时后退一步筹办跑畴昔。但是一听到我收回的声音，蛇却像落地的水柱一样，渐渐钻进沙里去。它不慌不忙地在石头的裂缝中钻动着，收回悄悄的金属般的响声，安闲地消逝在石头之间。
“我不会分开你的。”
"Tonight, it will be a year... my star, then, can be found right above the place where I came to the Earth, a year ago...""Little man," I said, "tell me that it is only a bad dream― this affair of the snake, and the meeting-place, and the star..."But he did not answer my plea. He said to me, instead: "The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen...""Yes, I know..."
那天早晨，我没有看到他启程。他悄悄地分开了。当我终究赶上他的时候，他正果断地快步走着。他只是对我说：“啊，你来了……”
“我叫你别来……这也是因为蛇的原因。别让它咬了你……蛇是有剧毒的，这条蛇能够会咬你来取乐……”
小王子沉默了一会儿又说：
"And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... and your friends w ill be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, ‘Yes, the stars always make me laugh!‘ And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you..."And he laughed again.
