On the fifth day, the little princenoun.王子 said, "Sheep eat small trees, I know. Do they eat flowers, too?" My work on my plane was very difficultadj.困难的, and I did not want to talk.

I answered quickly, "Sheep eat lotsnoun.许多 of different things." "But do they eat flowers?" he asked. "Yes. No, I don't know," I shoutedverb.呼喊.
"It's not importantadj.重要的." "What do you mean 'not importantadj.重要的'?" he said. "Of courseadv.当然 it's importantadj.重要的." His face was white, and he looked very worriedadj.担心的. "I have a beautiful flower on my planetnoun.行星. She's my special flower and I look after her," he said. "I don't want your sheep to eat my flower." Then the little princenoun.王子 started to cry, and I became worriedadj.担心的. It was dark now. I forgot about my plane, and I was not thirstyadj.口渴的. I wanted to cry, too.
I heldverb.拿住 him in my arms and I said to him, "I can help you. I can draw a muzzle for the sheep. It will coververb.盖 the sheep's mouth. Then the sheep cannot eat your flower." "Thank you," said the little princenoun.王子. He was betteradj.健康的 now, and I started to work on my plane again. He talked, and I learned a lotnoun.许多 about his flower. There were other flowers on his planetnoun.行星, but this flower was special. "She's beautiful and I love her," he said.
"Look after me," she said to me, and I looked after her every day. The little princenoun.王子 looked after her and he looked after the planetnoun.行星, too. He gave the flower water and he coveredverb.盖 her with glass every night. But she did not often say, "Thank you." The little princenoun.王子 became angry with the flower, because she was never happy, and she was often angry with him. Then the little princenoun.王子 told me very sadlyadv.. One day my flower said to me, "Don't look after me. I don't need you."
This made me sad. I stopped my work on the plane again and looked at the little princenoun.王子. I left my planetnoun.行星 because my flower didn't need me, he said. On my last day there, I cleaned my volcanoesnoun.火山 and I gave water to her. She said to me, "Don't coververb.盖 me. I don't need a coververb.盖." I was surprisedadj.感到惊讶的, but I didn't coververb.盖 her. Then she said, "I love you, you know, but I don't need you. Go away now."
I was very sad and she was very sad. "Goodbye," I said to her, but she did not speak to me again. Then he said, "I know something now." Her words were angry, but they weren't importantadj.重要的. She made me happy because she was beautiful, and that was importantadj.重要的. I was too young to understandverb.(understood) 理解.
