B
The Little Prince is a famous classic by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It's a short but touching story that has won the love of readers globally.
The story kicks off(开始) with a pilot whose plane crashes in the Sahara Desert. While fixing the plane, a little prince shows up. He hails(呼喊) from a tiny planet and lives alone with a beautiful but vain(虚荣的) and demanding(难以满足的) rose. Tired of taking care of her all the time, he decides to leave his planet and travel through space.
On his journey, he visits several planets. On one, there's a king who claims(声称) to rule all, but actually, there's only himself on the planet. On another, a businessman is so busy counting stars that he thinks he owns them.
Finally, he arrives on earth and meets a fox. The fox tells him, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is important is invisible(看不见的) to the eye." That means true love and friendship are felt, not seen.
He also meets the pilot in the desert and they become friends. The pilot starts to see the world differently and realizes many adults lack wonder and imagination.
In the end, the little prince goes back to his planet to care for the rose. The pilot is sad but knows the prince has learnt a lot. This book is for all ages, reminding us to keep our inner child, value love and friendship, and see life's simple beauty.
