Hello everyone, I was just reading a new book and wanted to share with you my opinion about some of the books that I have read, hope you recomend me new ones! :-)
When I was a little kid, my father gave me my first book: the little prince, and I loved to read it. This is a classic and I think everyone should read it in different times of their lives, because every time I read it, I find something new.
When I was a kid, I liked it because of the pictures and the story itself.
Now, I find some other intesrting facts, all in the same book. One of my favourites, the planet of the bussiness man. This man was so bussy, that he did not even raise his head at the little prince's arrival.
He's the stars owner, and the little prince asks why:
-"And what do you do with these stars?"
-"What do I do with them?"
-"Yes."
-"Nothing. I own them."
-"You own the stars?"
-"Yes."
-"But I have already seen a king who--"
-"Kings do not own, they reign over. It is a very different matter."
-"And what good does it do you to own the stars?"
-"It does me the good of making me rich."
-"And what good does it do you to be rich?"
-"It makes it possible for me to buy more stars, if any are discovered." (The little prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry)
What do you think this means? Do you like another quote from this book?

@BettyChan A pilot in the early days of aviation doing a postal run up through South America disappears. St Exupéy eventually disappeared too in WW2.
