When one wants to be funny, sometimes it wanders a bit. I have not been very honest in telling you about lamplighters. I might give a false idea of our planet to those who do not know. The men occupy very little space on earth. If the two billion people inhabiting the earth and stood a little tight, like a meeting, they could easily be put on a public square twenty miles long and twenty miles wide. Humanity could be piled up on a small Pacific islet.

The grownups, of course, will not believe you. They think they take up much room. They are as important as the baobabs. You should advise them, so do the math. They adore figures, and that they like. But do not waste your time on this chore. It's useless. You trust me.

- It is also lonely among men, "said the snake.

The little prince looked long:

- You are a funny animal, "he said finally, thin as a finger ...

- But I am more powerful than the finger of a king, "said the snake.

The little prince smiled

- You're not very powerful ... you do not even have legs ... you can not even travel ...
