Outlines
🎨 The Artistic Vision of the Little Prince
The narrative begins with the protagonist's childhood memory of drawing an elephant inside a boa constrictor, a fascination that led to a life of travel as an aviator. Despite achieving a successful career, the protagonist feels a sense of alienation in the adult world. This changes when a plane crash in the desert brings him face to face with the Little Prince, a character who requests a drawing of a lamb and shares his life from a small planet with volcanoes and baobab trees. The Little Prince's wisdom about enjoying life's simple pleasures and the importance of paying attention to details invisible to adults is highlighted. His encounter with a rose that has thorns yet still gets eaten by animals leads to a reflection on the nature of love and the protagonist's realization of the superficiality of adult concerns.
👑 The Little Prince's Journey Through Adult Follies
The Little Prince's adventures continue as he visits various planets, each inhabited by adults representing different aspects of human folly. He meets a king who believes he rules everything, a vain man seeking admiration, a businessman counting stars for the sake of ownership, and a lamplighter stuck in a repetitive task. These encounters underscore the absurdity of adult obsessions with power, vanity, materialism, and rigid routines. The Little Prince's reflections on these interactions reveal a deeper critique of the adult world's inability to appreciate the true value of life and relationships. His encounter with a geographer on Earth, who is detached from the beauty of his own planet, further emphasizes the theme of disconnection from the simple yet profound joys of life.
🦊 The Fox and the Essence of Connection
The Little Prince's time on Earth leads him to meet a fox, who teaches him about the importance of forming bonds and the essence of what makes something truly valuable. The fox explains the concept of 'domestication' and how it creates a unique connection that makes the ordinary special. This lesson resonates with the Little Prince as he realizes the uniqueness of his own rose back home. The narrative culminates with the Little Prince's disappearance, leaving the protagonist with a profound sense of loss and a deeper understanding of the invisible ties that bind us. The story concludes with a reflection on the importance of preserving the childlike wonder within us and the beauty that lies beyond the visible, accessible only through the heart.

Transcripts
[Music]
once when i was little i heard that bose
could swallow a whole elephant
the image had stayed with me all day and
i decided to draw it
[Music]
all the grown-ups were telling me the
same thing
the hat looks great
they didn't understand
they just kept telling me to do
something with myself
like study geography or maths
i took their advice and became an
aviator
a job that allowed me to travel the
planet
and live the life the way they've always
wanted me to
i've been living in an adult's world for
several years now
but i've never felt comfortable
i felt sad and frustrated
i've always been the weird one in a
world where everyone was alike
one day while i was flying over the
desert
my plane had an engine problem and it
fell on the ground
it was just the dunes and myself
surrounded by a sea of silence if i
couldn't manage to take off i wouldn't
survive
all of a sudden a little blue-eyed boy
appeared in front of my very eyes
he was the little prince
can you paint a lamb for me
i looked for the color markers in my
backpack and i drew the three lamps
[Music]
but he didn't like any of them
one was old and the other was
ill-looking or too thin
i was tired of him insisting so much
that i drew a box reassuring him that
the lamb he wanted wasn't there
oh
that's exactly what i wanted
the little prince lived on a small far
away planet there were volcanoes on this
planet and the land was covered with
enormous baobab trees the little prince
liked watching the sunsets very much
he knew how to enjoy the little things
in life
he paid attention to the small details
and to all those moments invisible to
adult eyes
he told me that there existed two types
of plants on every planet
good plants and bad plants
bat plants should be ripped out
immediately
because their huge roots could make a
small planet like this one explode
why do roses have thorns the little
prince asked me one day
so that animals won't eat them i replied
but they eat them anyway
in that case i don't know i've got
important things to do we're lost in the
desert and if i don't fix my plane
we'll die
important things roses have had thorns
for millions of years don't you think
it's important to ask you about them i
went closer and i gave him a hug
he was right
in the adult world
important things are numbers or doing
business
people don't appreciate the small
details in the world around us
[Music]
unique flowers grew on the little
princess planet flowers that only lived
one day
but one day a different flower grew on
the planet it was incredibly beautiful
and a little selfish besides the flower
thought it was invincible because it had
four thorns it was a vain flower and
always demanded the little prince's
attention that flower gave my life
meaning i should have never run away but
i was too young for love
the little prince was talking about the
day he said goodbye to his flower to set
off on his journey around several
planets i love you
you have decided to leave so do it and
try to be happy
i'll be okay i have four thorns to
defend myself
the first planet the little prince
visited was ruled by a king
my first subject exclaimed the king when
he saw him the little prince was
confused to hear him say that
the king explained that all the universe
had to obey him and you can demand
anything you want ask the little prince
no one should always demand what people
are able to do
i think there's nothing for me to do
here i have to go
the king tried to hold back the little
prince in every possible way he even
named him minister of the realm
nothing could change his mind
he had to continue with his journey and
no king's authority could stop him
he kept thinking
adult people are so weird
on the next planet live the vain person
oh and admire said the vain man start
applauding me till i tell you to stop
after applauding for a while the little
prince got tired and stopped
you admire me very much don't you what
does it mean to admire someone to admire
someone is the same as admitting that i
am the prettiest the most intelligent
and the best person on this planet but
you are the only one on this planet why
do you want people to admire you
the little prince was definitely
realizing that older people were very
weird
what they did made no sense
the little prince told me that the third
planet was inhabited by a businessman he
was as red as a tomato and he did
calculations all the time 2 million next
month i'll earn double 2 million what
stars i'll have 2 million stars and what
do you do with 2 million stars i count
them and i put them in the bank but
that's pointless you're not useful to
them
the little prince left thinking again
how very weird older people are
the fourth planet was small there was
only one lamp post and a lamp lighter
why do you turn the lamp on and off all
the time
it's my duty i have to turn the lamppost
on at night and turn it off in the
morning but now that the planet is
smaller the sun sets every five minutes
and your job has always been the same
yes the planet has changed but my job
stayed the same i have no time to rest
even though my job is what i like the
most
the little prince thought that the
lamplighter was the least absurd of all
other people he had a job and he worried
about something else aside himself be
that as it may he only thought about
doing his duty
[Music]
the last planet he visited was the
biggest one and was inhabited by an old
man who was a geographer and knew where
the oceans the mountains and the deserts
were
so are there many seas on your planet i
don't know i'm a geographer not an
explorer i count on the explorers to
inform me about everything they see do
you also know about flowers they are the
prettiest thing on my planet
no i'm not interested in flowers because
they decay fast and disappear i like
mountains better because they never
change at that very moment the little
prince regretted having left his flower
alone one day the flower would disappear
too
[Music]
finally the little prince arrived on
earth
seven million people lived on that
planet
among them there were lamplighters and
thousands of vain people
when the little prince got there he saw
a field of roses that reminded him of
his flower then he came across a very
beautiful animal
who are you you look very pretty i'm a
fox
come play with me
i'm very sad
i can't i'm not domesticated what does
it mean to be domesticated it means to
have a bond with someone to me you're
just another boy and i don't need you
for anything but if you domesticate me
we'll grow fond of each other and we'll
end up needing one another
i want you to domesticate me you should
be very patient with me at first you'll
feel distant but little by little we'll
get closer
the little prince understood what the
fox was saying and started domesticating
it little by little he visited the fox
every day and played with it till one
day they had to say goodbye
i'm going to cry
go have a look at the field of roses
then come back and i'll tell you a
secret the little prince did exactly
what the fox asked him to and he
realized that contrary to the rest of
the roses his rose was unique and
special because the flower had been
domesticated by him and he by the flower
the rest of the roses were beautiful but
they were meaningless
what really matters is invisible to the
eyes told him the fox before saying
goodbye
come on let's look for a well oh well
we're in the desert
but the little prince wouldn't give up
if he wanted something he would get it
what really makes the desert more
beautiful is the well underground what
makes something beautiful is invisible
to the eyes
the little prince had fallen asleep and
i kept walking holding him in my arms as
if he were a treasure
it was then when we found the well and
drank from it
it seemed that water sprung is a reward
from walking under the stars and all our
hard efforts
it was a gift from the heart like when i
used to look at christmas lights as a
kid
the little prince was near the well and
i went closer to see him when i got
there i saw him talking to a snake it
looked very dangerous
he was pale as snow he looked at me and
then i understood everything i fixed my
plane i'm glad
i'm going back home too although my
journey is much longer and more
complicated we were standing in a desert
in daylight but i felt frozen i couldn't
believe i'd never hear his laughter
again tell me this is all a bad dream i
don't want you to go
let me set off on this journey alone all
of a sudden there was a lightning and
the little prince fell on the desert
sand
many years had gone by
i knew that the little prince went back
to his planet because on the next
morning his little body wasn't there
to me sahara desert is the most
beautiful and saddest place in the world
it was there where i first saw the
little prince and it was also there
where he disappeared
if you ever find yourselves there don't
rush away enjoy the sights
never lose the kid you have inside
because what's really beautiful is
invisible to the eyes
and only kids are able to see with their
heart
