"Come and play with me," the little prince suggested. "I am so unhappy."
"I cannot play with you," the fox said. "I am not tamed."
"Ah! Please excuse me," said the little prince. But after some thought, he added, "What does 'tame' mean?"
"It means to set up ties," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy... But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二) in all the world."
"Please tame me!" said the fox. "You must be patient. Sit down a little distance (距离) from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the cause of misunderstandings. But each day, you may sit a little closer..."
The next day the prince returned. "It would have been better to come at the same hour," said the fox. "If you come at four o'clock, I shall begin to be happy by three. The more time passes, the happier I'll feel. But if you come at any random (随意的) time, I'll never know when to prepare my heart."
So the little prince tamed the fox. And when it's time to leave...
"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."
"It is your own fault," said the prince. "I never wished you harm, but you wanted me to tame you."
"Yes," said the fox. "But now, look at the golden wheat fields. They will remind (想起) me of your hair. And I shall love the sound of the wind in the wheat..."
Then he added, "Go and look again at the roses. You'll understand yours is unique. Remember: Real importance is unseen."
