Hey guys..
I just read a relle beautiful book. It's french and its called 'le petit prince'. or the little prince. have any of u guys read it??

i really like it, but it put me in a mood the whole day, you know the i wonder what life is about mood. and i almost started to tear when the prince died, cuz i saw the movie...

anyway, all im wondering is, why did he ask for the pilot to draw him a sheep?? and why did he need a sheep for the flower? is that supposed to be the authors secret?

thanks everyone!
