The little prince is the main character of Antoine de Saint Exupery’s book called “The little prince”. He is a young boy with curly golden hair, he is innocent and curious. Although he is very young he is very mature for his age. The little prince’s home is a tiny asteroid named B-612, which is no bigger than a house. On it, there are three little volcanoes which only come up to his knees. He uses the two active volcanoes like a stove and the other volcano like a footstool. There are also baobab seeds that blow up every now and again and sprout shoots, there seeds become in large trees so the prince has to remove this sprouts because they may destroy his home.
One day, a mysterious rose sprouted on his tiny asteroid. He looked after her and listened to her when she told him to make a glass globe to protect her from the cold wind. Although the prince fell in love with the rose, he also began to doubt the rose’s sincerity, so he decided to leave his home to explore the rest of the universe.
The prince visited six other asteroids, each of which was inhabited by a single, irrational, narrow-minded adult, each meant to show an element of the society. He met a King, a vain man, a drunk man, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer.
Then, the prince visited the Earth, the first creature that he meets is a snake who informs him that he is in the African desert where there are no people. The snake claimed to have the power to return him to his home, if he ever wished to return.
