(2016·上杭模拟)For many years, people around the world were crazy about a boy with blond hair. And perhaps these times have returned, as a new movie version of classic The Little Prince has been released in many countries. It came out in China on Oct. 16. Now we have an opportunity to look again at what has made this boy so popular with so many people of all ages, all over the world since the novel’s first publication in 1943.
A pilot crashes his plane in the desert. In this terrible situation he meets the Little Prince, who is a strange being from an asteroid(小行星). We learn that the Prince has been on a long journey. He left his home after an unhappy love affair. This love affair wasn't with another of the Prince's kind, but with a beautiful rose. Looking for a way to mend his broken heart, he toured planets looking for wisdom.
He met many different beings, but all were foolish and disappointed the Prince. One was a king who hated other people and lived on a planet with no other people on it. Another was a businessman who, because he could count the stars, thought that he owned them. Nothing that these men had to say to the Prince could end the sadness caused by his unhappy love affair.
Now he is on Earth, still in search of answers. In truth, this is where the story ends for the Prince. He dies in the desert. But because of his great warmth, he tells the pilot a story so that the pilot will not feel hopeless. The Prince tells him that although his body is dying, his soul will return to his asteroid.
But although the story is unhappy in this respect, the generous, self-sacrificing Prince himself sets an example to us. We all know that a great, popular book doesn’t have to be a happy one.
