Маленький принц - Глава 14
текст песни

The fifth planet was very interesting. She was the least. On the
She only placed that a lantern and a lantern. A little prince in no way
I could not understand why on a tiny, lost planet in the sky,
There are neither houses nor residents, we need a lantern and a lantern. But he thought:
"Maybe this person is absurd. But he is not as absurd as the king,
The ambitious man, a businessman and a drunkard. In his work, it still makes sense. When
He lights his lantern - as if another star is born or
flower. And when he extinguishes a lantern - as if a star or flower
fall asleep. Great activity. This is really useful because
Beautiful".
And, having caught up with this planet, he bowed respectfully
Lanter.
“Good afternoon,” he said. - Why did you go out the lantern now?
“Such an agreement,” the lantern answered. - Good afternoon.
- And what is this an agreement?
- extinguish the flashlight. Good evening.
And he lit a lantern again.
“Why did you light him again?”
“Such an agreement,” repeated the lantern.
“I don't understand,” the little prince admitted.
“And there is nothing to understand,” said the lantern, “there is an agreement.”
Good afternoon.
And the lantern extinguished.
Then the sweat from the forehead wiped the sweat with a red checkered scarf and said:
- I have a heavy craft. Once it made sense. I extinguished
The lantern in the morning, and in the evening lit up again. I had a day to
relax, and night to sleep ...
- And then the agreement changed?
“The agreement did not change,” said the lantern. - That's the trouble! My
The planet rotates faster from year to year, and the agreement remains the same.
- And how now? - asked the little prince.
- Yes. The planet makes a complete revolution in one minute, and
There is not a second of respite. Every minute I am a flashlight and again
I light up.
- That's funny! So, your day lasts only one minute!
“There is nothing funny here,” the lantern objected. - We are with you
We have been talking for a whole month.
- Whole month?!
- Well, yes. Thirty minutes. Thirty days. Good evening!
And he again lit a lantern.
The little prince looked at the lantern, and he liked it more and more
This man who was so faithful to his word. The little Prince
I remembered how he once rearranged a chair from place to place to
Once again, look at the sunset. And he wanted to help a friend.
“Listen,” he said to the lanter, “I know the remedy: You can
Rest when you only want ...
“I want to rest all the time,” said the lantern.
After all, you can be faithful to the word and still lazy.
“Your planet is so tiny,” the little prince continued, “you
You can go around her in three steps. And you just need to go at such a speed,
To stay in the sun all the time. When you want to relax, you
just go, go ... and the day will last as much time as
You wish.
“Well, I have little use from this,” said the lantern. - Most
In the world I love to sleep.
“Then your business is bad,” the little prince sympathized.
“Bad my business,” the lantern confirmed. - Good afternoon.
And the lantern extinguished.
“Here is a man,” the little prince said to himself, continuing his way, “here
a person whom everyone would despise - both the king, and the ambitious, and
A drunkard, and a businessman. Meanwhile, all of them, he is alone, in my opinion, is not ridiculous.
Maybe because he thinks not only about himself. "
The little prince sighed.
“I wish I could make friends with,” he thought again. “But his planet is already
Very tiny. There is no place for two ... "
He did not dare to admit to himself that he was most sorry for this
A wonderful planet for one more reason: in twenty -four hours on it
You can admire the sunset for a thousand four hundred and forty times!
