Chapter 18
The little prince crossed the desert and met with only one
flower. It was a flower with three petals, a flower of no account
at all.
“Good morning," said the little prince.
“Good morning," said the flower.
“Where are the men?" the little prince asked, politely.
The flower had once seen a caravan passing.
“Men?”she echoed.“I think there are six or seven of
them in existence. I saw them, several years ago. But one never
knows where to find them. The wind blows them away. They
have no roots, and that makes their life very difficult""
“Goodbye," said the little prince.
“Goodbye," said the flower.
