“Year by year the planet is turning faster and faster, and the order is still the same!”
“Now the planet turns around every minute and I have no time to sleep. I turn on and turn off my lamp every minute.”
“It’s funny! Your day is only one minute long.” “It’s not funny,” said the lamplighter.
“Our conversation is already one month long.” “A month?”
“Yes. Thirty minutes. Thirty days. Good evening.” And he turned on his lamp again.
The little prince watched him and he liked more and more this lamplighter who followed the order.
He wanted to help his new friend. “I can show you how you can stop your work when you want.”
“I always want to stop my work,” said the lamplighter.
The little prince continued, “Your planet is so small that you can walk around it in three long steps.”
“You only have to walk more slowly and you will always be in the sun.”
“When you want to stop your work, just walk and you never have to work again.”
“How can this help me?” said the lamplighter. “The one thing which I love in life is to sleep.”
