Another book is "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It is about a boy who travel around the planets. On his own planet he lived with Rose. He loved her but Rose loved more herself that the Little Prince. So he left her and beggin to travel. He met a lot of people in different planets and every of them thought him something. The most beautiful part of this book for me is when he met a Fox. Because the Fox told him that he is responsible for those he tamed. And of course it is not only about animals but about people. When we love someone we tame that person. That person is used to us. If the one you love left you you wouldn't know what to do with your life. You would feel empty inside... I Think this part is about it to be carreful who we tame.
I like that the author showed us that children's mind can be so flexible and the adults' is close and has borders. And it is shown at the beginning of the book with sheep that is closed in the box because adult couldn't draw a picture of the perfect sheep for Little Prince or at the picture of the elephant eaten by snake - everybody saw there a hat.
I love this book. I think it is a fairytale for children but deeper it is also a great book for the adults. Even the adult can take something from this book. I read this book twice, But I'm sure that I will come back to this story.
Aw, The Little Prince, I love this book. And you brang up my favourite excerpt with Fox <3 I like the whole idea of being responsible of something/someone we've tamed.
