For the first time, I heard this story from my dad who drew pictures from this book. When I was a little child I did not understand the story properly, it was just a fairy tale about a little blond boy traveling around the universe and asking many questions. When I grew up a bit we read this book in primary school. The book about little prince is very famous all around the world. For many people, it is a great inspiration and for me, it is too. This fiction story is like a fairytale for adults. In symbols and simple examples, it shows us how stupid and complicated we as adults are. I read this story again when I was older and it helped me in many way. Those simple examples and experiences shared thanks to this book are priceless.
This story can inspire everyone. It is very simple to understand and at the same time very powerful.
