Hello! Tofu?
Hi Tia!
Tofu, I need your help
I am at school and I'm gonna stay here too late, for the drama club
Will you please go over to Mrs. John’s house and water her plants for her
and feed her fish?
Oh no, Tia!
I don’t want to
I’ve just made fresh popcorn for myself and I want to watch some TV at home
You don’t have to go right away, Tofu.
You can go after your popcorn is over
Okay
Hi Tofu.
Was everything okay at Mrs John’s?
Mrs John’s? Oh! I didn’t go
I didn’t feel like it.
Tofu! How could you?
You told me that you will go.
Yes...but why do I have to do your work, Tia?
Let me tell you why
Once upon a time a Little Prince lived alone on a comet
The comet was his home and he took care of it
Every day he cleaned the volcanoes
and trimmed the tree roots
One day a seed fell on his comet and grew into a flower
You are so beautiful
I will always take care of you and protect you
And I will call you Rose
Thank you!
From then on Rose and the Prince would always spend their time together
But as time went by
the Prince stopped liking the fact that Rose always wanted his attention and care
He could not understand why she behaved like that
He started feeling
he should make more friends
And so, he left Rose behind and went around the Universe to make more friends
He stopped at the first planet that came his way
A King lived alone on that planet.
I am so happy that you came here
Now, I have someone to rule over!
And so, the King started ordering the Little Prince around
The Little Prince was not used to it.
Nobody ever spoke to him like that.
Friends don’t order friends around
I must leave this planet and find another friend
The Prince left the King’s planet and came to another planet
Here he met a very well-dressed man
The man lived alone on the planet
Welcome, Little Prince
I am happy that you have come to my planet
Now, I have someone who can admire me!
And so, the man kept asking the Prince for compliments for everything
When the Prince wouldn’t admire him or praise him for his actions
he would get upset with the Prince
Friends cannot like each other just because of compliments
There must be more to friendship!
I must leave this planet and go find another friend.
The Prince left the second planet and arrived on the third one
where he met an old man who had a lot of books
What are all these books?
I am a geographer
I write about the seas, hills, mountains and plains
Tell me about your planet and I will write about it
Can you write about Rose and me?
I only write about things that last forever
Hence, I cannot write about you two
The Prince felt sad that he and Rose were not eternal
He felt that the Geographer did not care much about him and his friend
and so, he left this planet too
and arrived on one called Earth.
There he met a fox
Will you be my friend?
You must tame me first.
Tame?
What is that?
It is where you create a bond with me
you care for me and we connect with each other
Otherwise, you are just a boy to me like million others and I am just a fox to you
The boy understood that that is what Rose had been doing!
She was taming me! She was making bonds with me
I have made a mistake! I must go back home to my Rose
The Prince immediately returned home
There he found Rose and hugged her tight.
I will always be with you! I am responsible!
I am sorry, Tia. I did not respect our bonds
You always take care of me.
I could have done this for you
Its okay, Tofu
I will go there now and we’ll have dinner together
Okay
Oh, wait! I’ll also come with you and help you
Okay! Let’s go together!
