“I am sorry. I can’t yawn when you tell me to do it,” said the little prince. His face was red now.
“Oh, well!” said the king, “Then I tell you to yawn sometimes and then…” He was confused a little
and he looked upset because the king’s orders have to be always respected.
He couldn’t tolerate if somebody didn’t follow his orders. But, because he was a very good man, all his orders were reasonable.
“If I ordered a general,” he liked to give this example, “if I ordered a general to change into a sea bird,
and if the general didn’t do it, it wouldn’t be the general’s mistake. It would be my mistake.”
“Can I sit down?” the little prince asked quietly.
“I order you to sit down,” the king said. And he pulled a piece of his clothes so that there was some space for the little prince to sit down.

“I order you to ask me a question,” the king said.
“What do you control?” “I control everything,” said the king.
