"You own the stars"
The fourth planet belonged to a businessman. This man was so much occupied that he did not even raise his head at the little prince's arrival.
“这倒很有诗意，也很好玩，但是，这并不算是了不起的端庄事啊。”小王子想。
“你要这五亿多的星星做甚么？”
“是的。”
"Oh, no. Little golden objects that set lazy men to idle dreaming. As for me, I am concerned with matters of consequence. There is no time for idle dreaming in my life.""Ah! You mean the stars"
“五亿零一百六十二万二千七百三十一颗星星。我是端庄的人，我重视切确。”
“五亿零一百万甚么呀？”小王子对峙问道。他提出题目以后，没有答案是向来不会放弃的。
小王子对他说：“您好。您的烟燃烧了。”
“是的，我不能摘下来，但我能够把它们存在银行里。”
“那你说星星是谁的呀？”贩子不欢畅地辩驳小王子。
“是呀。”
“但是我已经见到过一个国王，他……”
“几百万甚么？”
"Yes."
"Then they belong to me, because I was the first person to think of it.""Is that all that is necessary""Certainly. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you get an idea before any one else, you take out a patent on it: it is yours. So with me: I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them.""Yes, that is true," said the little prince. "And what do you do with them""I administer them," replied the businessman. "I count them and recount them. It is difficult. But I am a man who is naturally interested in matters of consequence."The little prince was still not satisfied.
