“Can you hear it?” said the little prince. “We woke up the well and the well is singing.”
CHAPTER 24 – WATER
When the bucket was full of water, I said, “Leave it to me. It’s too heavy for you.”
Slowly I pulled the bucket up. I left it on top of the well. I was tired but happy.
The song of the well was still in my ears. When I looked at the bucket, I could see the sunshine in the water.
“I’m thirsty for that water,” said the little prince. “Let me drink some.”
And I understood what he was looking for. I helped him hold the bucket.
He drank with his eyes closed. It was as nice as some special celebration.
That water wasn’t only a drink. It was born from our walk under the stars, from the song of the well, from the work of my arms.
It was good for the heart, like a present. When I was a little boy, the light of the Christmas tree, the Christmas music, the smiles of the people,
all these things made the Christmas presents special.
“Where you live,” said the little prince, “the people have five thousand roses in one garden, but they don’t find what they are looking for.”
