The Little Prince 小王子 Chapter 4

就係噉，我知道咗另一件好重要嘅事：佢嚟嗰個星球原來只係僅僅大過一間屋㗎咋！

不過其實噉都唔值得大驚小怪。我知道，除咗地球呀，木星呀，火星呀，金星呀，嗰啲改咗名，最重要嘅行星之外，其實仲有千上萬咁多其他嘅行星；當中有啲好細好細，細到連用望遠鏡望唔到。當天文學家發現一粒噉嘅行星，就會畀個編號粒星星，而唔會同佢改名。所以，學個例，佢就可能會叫粒星星做「小行星 325」噉。

我好有理由相信小王子嚟嗰粒星星就係一粒較「B612」個小小行星。呢粒星星只係畀人用望遠鏡見過一次咁多，係一個土耳其天文學家喺 1909 年發現噉。

嗰陣時，呢個天文學家好隆重其事噉喺國際天文學大會上發表佢嘅發現。但係，因為佢著住一身土耳其嘅傳統服飾，所以完全冇人相信佢。啲大人成日都係噉。

但係好彩小行星 B612 嘅名聲都仲保得住，因為後來土耳其有個獨裁者以死刑威逼佢嘅人民轉著歐洲服飾。喺 1920 年，我哋呢位天文學家又再一次重新發表佢嘅發現，而呢次佢著住一套好優雅嘅禮服。今次，大家好同意佢嘅理據。

我話畀你聽咁多關於小行星 B612 嘅嘢，仲話埋你知佢個編號，其實都係因為啲大人。啲大人最鍾意就係 [數目字] 。當你介紹個新朋友畀佢哋識，佢哋永遠都唔會問啲最重要嘅問題。佢哋唔會問：「佢把聲點樣㗎？佢最鍾意玩啲咩呀？佢有冇收集蝴蝶標本呢？」佢哋反而會問：「佢幾歲呀？佢有幾多個兄弟呀？佢幾重呀？佢阿爸賺幾多錢呢？」只有問過呢啲問題，佢哋先會覺得自己認識咗呢個人。如果你同個大人講：「我見到間好別緻嘅粉紅色磚屋，窗台前面種咗好多洋葵花，屋簷上面仲有一寶寶白鴿添」，佢哋完全唔會能夠想像到個間屋係咩樣。你一定要話：「我見到一間值成千萬嘅屋呀。」噉佢哋就會恍然大悟噉驚嘆一聲：「嘩，噉一定好靚喇！」如果你同啲大人講：「小王子存在嘅證據就係佢好魅力，好鍾意笑，同埋想要隻綿羊仔。佢想要隻綿羊仔，噉就證明佢存在啦！」佢哋會聳聳個 [膊頭] ，當你係細路仔！但係，如果你同佢哋講：「小王子個星球就係小行星 B612」，噉佢哋就會相信，就唔會再用一大堆問題嚟煩你。

啲大人就係噉㗎喇，但都唔好怪佢哋。小朋友對大人應該寬厚啲嘅。
