"Ah, little prince, dear little prince! I love to hear that laughter!""That is my present. Just that. It will be as it was when we drankthe water...""What are you trying to say?""All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are notthe same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the starsare guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. Forothers, who are scholars, they are problems . For my businessman they werewealth. But all these stars are silent. You-- you alone-- will have the starsas no one else has them--""What are you trying to say?""In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall belaughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look atthe sky at night... you-- only you-- will have stars that can laugh!"And he laughed again."And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) youwill be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You willwant to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for thatpleasure... and your friends w ill be properly astonished to see you laughingas you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, 'Yes, the stars alwaysmake me laugh!' And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabbytrick that I shall have played on you..."And he laughed again."It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a greatnumber of little bells that knew how to laugh..."And he laughed again. Then he quickly became serious:"Tonight-- you know... do not come," said the little prince."I shall not leave you," I said."I shall look as if I were suffering. I shall look a little as if Iwere dying. It is like that. Do not come to see that. It is not worth the trouble...""I shall not leave you."But he was worried."I tell you-- it is also because of the snake. He must not bite you.Snakes-- they are malicious creatures. This one might bite you just forfun...""I shall not leave you."But a thought came to reassure him:"It is true that they have no more poison for a second bite."
