The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is about a young prince who travels from planet to planet, meeting strange and unique characters, each teaching him something about life and human nature. The story is told through the eyes of a pilot stranded in the desert who meets the prince and listens to his adventures. As they talk, the prince shares his encounters with a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a lamplighter, and others, all of whom represent different aspects of society. Through these experiences, the prince learns about love, friendship, and the importance of seeing with the heart rather than just the eyes. Ultimately, the story is a reminder to cherish the simple, meaningful things in life that adults often forget.
