Subject: A.S. Exuperi I have been busting my "back" trying to find the English version of The Little Prince by A.S. Exuperi. The following help is needed:exact wording, where the little guy is asking for barashek to be drawn. "NARISUY MNE BARASHKA" how it exactly reads in ENGLISH TRANSLATION of The Little Prince. As Plan B, I will take French original wording --> then, I would need: "Don't be stupid, draw him a little sheep, he's gonna' like!" Many thanx! |

| If you please-- draw me a sheep!""What!""Draw me a sheep!"I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck. I blinked my eyes hard. I looked carefully all around me. And I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me with great seriousness. Here you may see the best portrait that, later, I was able to make of him. But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than its model. That, however, is not my fault. The grown-ups discouraged me in my painter's career when I was six years old, and I never learned to draw anything, except boas from the outside and boas from the inside. Now I stared at this sudden apparition with my eyes fairly starting out of my head in astonishment. Remember, I had crashed in the desert a thousand miles from any inhabited region. And yet my little man seemed neither to be straying uncertainly among the sands, nor to be fainting from fatigue or hunger or thirst or fear. Nothing about him gave any suggestion of a child lost in the middle of the desert, a thousand miles from any human habitation. When at last I was able to speak, I said to him: "But-- what are you doing here?" And in answer he repeated, very slowly, as if he were speaking of a matter of great consequence: "If you please-- draw me a sheep..." |

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Яник, как истинная "француженка" не терпит отсутствия аксанов ;)))) |
