I am telling you these details about Asteroid B-612 and I am telling you its number because adults like numbers.
When you tell them that you have a new friend, they never ask you questions about important things.
They never ask you, “What is the sound of his voice? What games does he like? Does he collect butterflies?”
They ask, “How old is he? How many brothers does he have? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?”
If they know these numbers, they think that they know this person.
If you say to the adults, “I saw a beautiful red house, with beautiful flowers in the windows and birds on the roof,” they can’t imagine the house.
You have to say to them, “I saw a house that cost one hundred thousand dollars.” Then they can say, “It’s a pretty house.”
So if you say to the adults, “The little prince existed because he was nice, he laughed, and he wanted a sheep.
If you want a sheep, it’s clear that you exist,” this information won’t help them.
They will shake their heads, and they will think that you live in a dream.
But if you tell them, “The planet he came from is Asteroid B-612,” then they will believe you.
And they won’t ask you any questions. Adults are like that. We mustn’t blame them.
