He visited six planets successively, and all kinds of experiences made him sad. He thinks adults are ridiculous and abnormal. Only on a planet of lamplighters did the little prince find a friend. But the world of a lamplighter is very narrow, and there is no room for a second person except himself. Under the guidance of geographers, the lonely little prince came to the earth where human beings lived.
The little prince found that human beings lack imagination and only repeat what others have said like parrots. The little prince misses the little roses on his planet more and more now. Later, the little prince met a little fox. The little prince conquered the little fox with patience and became close friends with it. Fox can't see the essence of things with the naked eye. Only with his heart can he see everything clearly and treat everything as a gift to the little prince. With this secret, the little prince found the spring of life with the pilot in distress in the Sahara desert. Finally, with the help of the snake, the little prince left the earth and returned to his asteroid B6 12.

This ideal is the love that connects all things in the universe, and this kind of love is just what the world lacks. Therefore, the little prince often shows sad mood. The author St. Exupery said in his dedication: This book is dedicated to the child who grew up in the past.
