[ Chapter 20 ] - the little prince discovers agarden of roses     小王子发现了一个玫瑰园But it happened that after walking for a long time through sand, androcks, and snow, the little prince at last came upon a road. And all roads leadto the abodes of men."Good morning," he said.He was standing before a garden, all abloom with roses."Good morning," said the roses.The little prince gazed at them. They all looked like his flower."Who are you?" he demanded, thunderstruck."We are roses," the roses said.And he was overcome with sadness. His flower had told him that she was theonly one of her kind in all the universe. And here were five thousand of them,all alike, in one single garden!"She would be very much annoyed," he said to himself, "ifshe should see that... she would cough most dreadfully, and she would pretendthat she was dying, to avoid being laughed at. And I should be obliged topretend that I was nursing her back to life-- for if I did not do that, tohumble myself also, she would really allow herself to die..."Then he went on with his reflections: "I thought that I was rich,with a flower that was unique in all the world; and all I had was a commonrose. A common rose, and three volcanoes that come up to my knees-- and one ofthem perhaps extinct forever... that doesn't make me a very greatprince..."And he lay down in the grass and cried.
