little Prince

Chapter 1 Dedicated to Leon Werth

Forgive me, children, for dedicating this book to a grown-up.My reason is very sincere: this grown-up is my best friend in the world.I have another reason: this grown-up must be able to read this book, he understands everything, even books written for children.My third reason is this: the grown-up is living in famine and cold in France, and he is in great need of consolation.If all these reasons are not enough to convince you, then I want to give this book to him as a child.All grown-ups were once children (it's just that many forget).So my dedication was changed to this:

To Leon Wirth as a child
