Ale po krĂĄtkej Ășvahe dodal:
But, after some thought, he added:
â Äo znamenĂĄ skrotiĆ„?
âWhat does that mean â âtameâ?â
â Ty nie si odtiaÄŸto, â povedala lĂĆĄka, â Äo tu hÄŸadĂĄĆĄ?
âYou do not live here,â said the fox. âWhat is it that you are looking for?â
â HÄŸadĂĄm ÄŸudĂ, â odpovedal MalĂœ princ. â Äo znamenĂĄ skrotiĆ„?
âI am looking for men,â said the little prince. âWhat does that mean â âtameâ?â
â Äœudia, â povedala lĂĆĄka, â majĂș puĆĄky a poÄŸujĂș. Je to veÄŸmi neprĂjemnĂ©! ChovajĂș aj sliepky. Je to ich jedinĂĄ prednosĆ„. HÄŸadĂĄĆĄ sliepky?
âMen,â said the fox. âThey have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests. Are you looking for chickens?â
â Nie, â odpovedal MalĂœ princ. â HÄŸadĂĄm priateÄŸov. Äo znamenĂĄ skrotiĆ„?
âNo,â said the little prince. âI am looking for friends. What does that mean â âtameâ?â
â Je to uĆŸ takmer zabudnutĂĄ vec, â povedala lĂĆĄka. â ZnamenĂĄ to vytvoriĆ„ putĂĄ.
âIt is an act too often neglected,â said the fox. âIt means to establish ties.â
â VytvoriĆ„ putĂĄ?
ââTo establish tiesâ?â
â PravdaĆŸe, â povedala lĂĆĄka. â Ty si pre mĆa zatiaÄŸ len malĂœ chlapec podobnĂœ stotisĂcom malĂœch chlapcov. A nepotrebujem Ć„a. A ani ty ma nepotrebujeĆĄ. Ja som pre teba lĂĆĄka podobnĂĄ stotisĂcom lĂĆĄok. No ak si ma skrotĂĆĄ, budeme jeden druhĂ©ho potrebovaĆ„. BudeĆĄ pre mĆa jedinĂœ na svete. Ja budem pre teba jedinĂĄ na sveteâŠ
âJust that,â said the fox. âTo me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the worldâŠâ
â ZaÄĂnam rozumieĆ„, â povedal MalĂœ princ. â Jestvuje jedna kvetina⊠myslĂm, ĆŸe si ma skrotilaâŠ
âI am beginning to understand,â said the little prince. âThere is a flower⊠I think that she has tamed meâŠâ
â To je moĆŸnĂ©, â poznamenala lĂĆĄka. â Na Zemi sa dĂĄ vĆĄeliÄo zaĆŸiĆ„âŠ
âIt is possible,â said the fox. âOn the Earth one sees all sorts of things.â
â Och, to nie je na Zemi! â povedal MalĂœ princ.
âOh, but this is not on the Earth!â said the little prince.
Zdalo sa, ĆŸe to v lĂĆĄke vzbudilo veÄŸkĂœ zĂĄujem.
The fox seemed perplexed, and very curious.
â Na nejakej inej planĂ©te?
âOn another planet?â
â Ăno.
âYes.â
â SĂș na tej planĂ©te poÄŸovnĂci?
âAre there hunters on that planet?â
â Nie.
âNo.â
â To je zaujĂmavĂ©! A sliepky?
âAh, that is interesting! Are there chickens?â
â Nie.
âNo.â
â NiÄ nie je dokonalĂ©, â vzdychla si lĂĆĄka.
âNothing is perfect,â sighed the fox.
Ale vrĂĄtila sa k svojej myĆĄlienke:
But he came back to his idea.
MĂŽj ĆŸivot je jednotvĂĄrny. PoÄŸujem na sliepky a ÄŸudia poÄŸujĂș na mĆa. VĆĄetky sliepky sĂș si podobnĂ© a vĆĄetci ÄŸudia sa navzĂĄjom podobajĂș. Tak sa trochu nudĂm. No ak si ma skrotĂĆĄ, mĂŽj ĆŸivot bude akoby oĆŸiarenĂœ slnkom. SpoznĂĄm zvuk krokov, ktorĂœ bude inĂœ ako vĆĄetky ostatnĂ©. Tie ostatnĂ© kroky ma zahĂĄĆajĂș pod zem. Tie tvoje ma privolajĂș z nory ako nejakĂĄ hudba.
âMy life is very monotonous,â the fox said. âI hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow.
A potom, pozri! VidĂĆĄ tamtie obilnĂ© polia? Ja chlieb nejem. Obilie je pre mĆa zbytoÄnĂ©. ObilnĂ© polia mi niÄ nepripomĂnajĂș. A to je smutnĂ©! Ale ty mĂĄĆĄ zlatĂ© vlasy. Bude to teda skvelĂ©, keÄ si ma skrotĂĆĄ! ZlatĂ© obilie mi Ć„a bude pripomĂnaĆ„. A ja budem maĆ„ rada ĆĄumenie vetra v obilĂâŠ
And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheatâŠâ
LĂĆĄka zmÄșkla a nadlho sa zahÄŸadela na MalĂ©ho princa.
The fox gazed at the little prince, for a long time.
â ProsĂm Ć„a⊠skroĆ„ si ma! â povedala.
âPlease â tame me!â he said.
â VeÄŸmi rĂĄd, â odpovedal MalĂœ princ, â ale nemĂĄm veÄŸa Äasu. MusĂm si nĂĄjsĆ„ priateÄŸov a spoznaĆ„ veÄŸa vecĂ.
âI want to, very much,â the little prince replied. âBut I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand.â
â SpoznĂĄme len tie veci, ktorĂ© si skrotĂme, â povedaâ la lĂĆĄka. â Äœudia uĆŸ nemajĂș Äas, aby nieÄo spoznĂĄvali. KupujĂș si u obchodnĂkov celkom novĂ© veci. Ale pretoĆŸe nejestvujĂș obchodnĂci, Äo by predĂĄvali priateÄŸov, ÄŸudia uĆŸ priateÄŸov nemajĂș. Ak chceĆĄ maĆ„ priateÄŸa, skroĆ„ si ma!
âOne only understands the things that one tames,â said the fox. âMen have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame meâŠâ
â Äo mĂĄm urobiĆ„? â spĂœtal sa MalĂœ princ.
âWhat must I do, to tame you?â asked the little prince.
â MusĂĆĄ byĆ„ veÄŸmi trpezlivĂœ, â odpovedala lĂĆĄka. â Najprv si sadneĆĄ do trĂĄvy trochu Äalej odo mĆa, asi tak to. Ja sa budem na teba pozeraĆ„ kĂștikmi oÄĂ, a ty nebudeĆĄ niÄ vravieĆ„. ReÄ je prameĆom nedorozumenĂ. Ale kaĆŸdĂœ deĆ si budeĆĄ mĂŽcĆ„ sadnĂșĆ„ trochu bliĆŸĆĄie.
âYou must be very patient,â replied the fox. âFirst you will sit down at a little distance from me â like that â in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every dayâŠâ
Na druhĂœ deĆ priĆĄiel MalĂœ princ zasa.
The next day the little prince came back.
â Bolo by lepĆĄie, keby si prichĂĄdzal v tĂș istĂș hodinu, â povedala lĂĆĄka. â Ak naprĂklad prĂdeĆĄ o ĆĄtvrtej popoludnĂ, uĆŸ od tretej zaÄnem byĆ„ ĆĄĆ„astnĂĄ. ÄĂm vĂ€ÄĆĄmi Äas pokroÄĂ, tĂœm budem ĆĄĆ„astnejĆĄia. O ĆĄtvrtej uĆŸ budem vzruĆĄenĂĄ a nepokojnĂĄ; Ak chceĆĄ maĆ„ priateÄŸa, skroĆ„ si ma! objavĂm cenu ĆĄĆ„astia! No ak budeĆĄ chodiĆ„ hocikedy, nebudem nikdy vedieĆ„, na ktorĂș hodinu si mĂĄm pristrojiĆ„ srdce⊠Je potrebnĂ© zachovĂĄvaĆ„ istĂ© zvyky.
âIt would have been better to come back at the same hour,â said the fox. âIf, for example, you come at four oâclock in the afternoon, then at three oâclock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four oâclock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you⊠One must observe the proper ritesâŠâ
â Äo je to zvyk? â spĂœtal sa MalĂœ princ.
âWhat is a rite?â asked the little prince.
â Aj to je Äosi, na Äo sa veÄŸmi zabĂșda, â povedala lĂĆĄka. â Je to nieÄo, Äo odliĆĄuje jeden deĆ od ostatnĂœch dnĂ, jednu hodinu od ostatnĂœch hodĂn. NaprĂklad aj moji poÄŸovnĂci majĂș jeden zvyk. Vo ĆĄtvrtok tancujĂș s dedinskĂœmi dievÄencami. A tak je ĆĄtvrtok nĂĄdhernĂœ deĆ! ChodĂm sa vtedy prechĂĄdzaĆ„ aĆŸ do vinice. Keby poÄŸovnĂci tancovali hocikedy, vĆĄetky dni by sa navzĂĄjom podobali a ja by som nemala prĂĄzdniny.
âThose also are actions too often neglected,â said the fox. âThey are what make one day different from other days, one hour from other hours. There is a rite, for example, among my hunters. Every Thursday they dance with the village girls. So Thursday is a wonderful day for me! I can take a walk as far as the vineyards. But if the hunters danced at just any time, every day would be like every other day, and I should never have any vacation at all.â
Tak si MalĂœ princ skrotil lĂĆĄku. A keÄ sa priblĂĆŸila hodina odchodu, lĂĆĄka povedala:
So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near â
â Ach! Budem plakaĆ„âŠ
âAh,â said the fox, âI shall cry.â
â Je to tvoja vina, â povedal MalĂœ princ, â neĆŸelal som ti niÄ zlĂ©, ale ty si chcela, aby som si Ć„a skrotilâŠ
âIt is your own fault,â said the little prince. âI never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame youâŠâ
â PravdaĆŸe, â povedala lĂĆĄka.
âYes, that is so,â said the fox.
â Ale ty budeĆĄ plakaĆ„! â povedal MalĂœ princ.
âBut now you are going to cry!â said the little prince.
â PravdaĆŸe, â povedala lĂĆĄka.
âYes, that is so,â said the fox.
â Teda z toho nebudeĆĄ maĆ„ niÄ!
âThen it has done you no good at all!â
â Budem, â povedala lĂĆĄka, â vÄaka farbe obilia.
âIt has done me good,â said the fox, âbecause of the color of the wheat fields.â
Potom dodala:
And then he added:
â ChoÄ sa eĆĄte raz pozrieĆ„ na ruĆŸe. PochopĂĆĄ, ĆŸe tĂĄ tvoja je jedinĂĄ na svete. VrĂĄtiĆĄ sa ku mne, aby si mi dal zbohom, a ja ti darujem tajomstvo.
âGo and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will make you a present of a secret.â
MalĂœ princ sa ĆĄiel znova pozrieĆ„ na ruĆŸe.
The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.
â Vy sa na moju ruĆŸu vĂŽbec nepodobĂĄte, vy eĆĄte nie ste niÄ, â povedal im. â Nikto si vĂĄs neskrotil a vy ste si neskrotili nikoho. Ste takĂ©, ako bola moja lĂĆĄka. Bola iba lĂĆĄkou, Äo sa podobala stotisĂcom ostatnĂœch lĂĆĄok. Ale ja som si z nej urobil priateÄŸku a teraz je jedinĂĄ na svete.
âYou are not at all like my rose,â he said. âAs yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world.â
A ruĆŸe boli veÄŸmi zarazenĂ©.
And the roses were very much embarrassed.
â Ste krĂĄsne, ale ste prĂĄzdne, â povedal im eĆĄte. â NemoĆŸno pre vĂĄs zomrieĆ„. Prirodzene, obyÄajnĂœ okoloidĂșci by si myslel, ĆŸe moja ruĆŸa sa vĂĄm podobĂĄ. Ale ona jedinĂĄ je dĂŽleĆŸitejĆĄia ako vy vĆĄetky, pretoĆŸe prĂĄve ju som polieval. PretoĆŸe ju som dĂĄval pod sklenĂœ zvon. PretoĆŸe ju som chrĂĄnil zĂĄstenou. PretoĆŸe jej som pozabĂjal hĂșsenice (okrem dvoch alebo troch, z ktorĂœch majĂș byĆ„ motĂœle). PretoĆŸe ju som poÄĂșval, ako sa ĆŸaluje alebo vystatuje, alebo dokonca ako niekedy mlÄĂ. PretoĆŸe je to moja ruĆŸa.
âYou are beautiful, but you are empty,â he went on. âOne could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you â the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or ever sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.â
A vrĂĄtil sa k lĂĆĄke.
And he went back to meet the fox.
â Zbohom, â povedal.
âGoodbye,â he said.
â Zbohom, â povedala lĂĆĄka. â Tu je moje tajomstvo. Je veÄŸmi jednoduchĂ©: dobre vidĂme iba srdcom. To hlavnĂ© je oÄiam neviditeÄŸnĂ©.
âGoodbye,â said the fox. âAnd now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.â
â To hlavnĂ© je oÄiam neviditeÄŸnĂ©, â opakoval MalĂœ princ, aby si to zapamĂ€tal.
âWhat is essential is invisible to the eye,â the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.
â Äas, ktorĂœ si strĂĄcal pre svoju ruĆŸu, robĂ tvoju ruĆŸu takou dĂŽleĆŸitou.
âIt is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.â
â Äas, ktorĂœ som strĂĄcal pre svoju ruĆŸu⊠â opakoval MalĂœ princ, aby si to zapamĂ€tal.
âIt is the time I have wasted for my rose â â said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.
â Äœudia zabudli na tĂșto pravdu, â povedala lĂĆĄka. â Ale ty na Ću nesmieĆĄ zabudnĂșĆ„. Ty budeĆĄ navĆŸdy zodpovednĂœ za vĆĄetko, Äo si skrotĂĆĄ. Si zodpovednĂœ za svoju ruĆŸuâŠ
âMen have forgotten this truth,â said the fox. âBut you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your roseâŠâ
â Som zodpovednĂœ za svoju ruĆŸu⊠â opakoval MalĂœ princ, aby si to zapamĂ€tal.
âI am responsible for my rose,â the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

â DobrĂœ deĆ, â povedal MalĂœ princ.
Good morning,â said the little prince.
â DobrĂœ deĆ, â povedal vĂœhybkĂĄr.
âGood morningâ, said the railway switchman.
â Äo tu robĂĆĄ? â spĂœtal sa MalĂœ princ.
âWhat do you do here?â the little prince asked.
â RozdeÄŸujem cestujĂșcich po tisĂcovĂœch skupinĂĄch, â povedal vĂœhybkĂĄr. â Vypravujem vlaky, Äo ich odvĂĄĆŸajĂș raz napravo, raz naÄŸavo.
âI sort out travelers, in bundles of a thousandâ , said the switchman. âI send off the trains that carry them: now to the right, now to the left.â
A vysvietenĂœ rĂœchlik, duniac ako hrom, otriasol vĂœhybkĂĄrovou bĂșdkou.
And a brilliantly lighted express train shook the switchmanâs cabin as it rushed by with a roar like thunder.
â VeÄŸmi sa ponĂĄhÄŸajĂș, â povedal MalĂœ princ. â Äo hÄŸadajĂș?
âThey are in a great hurry,â said the little prince. âWhat are they looking for?â
â Ani Älovek na ruĆĄni to nevie, â odpovedal vĂœhybkĂĄr.
âNot even the locomotive engineer knows that,â said the switchman.
A v opaÄnom smere zadunel druhĂœ vysvietenĂœ rĂœchlik.
And a second brilliantly lighted express thundered by, in the opposite direction.
â UĆŸ sa vracajĂș? â spĂœtal sa MalĂœ princ.
âAre they coming back already?â demanded the little prince.
â To nie sĂș tĂ istĂ, â povedal vĂœhybkĂĄr. â VymieĆajĂș sa.
âThese are not the same ones,â said the switchman. âIt is an exchange.â
â Neboli spokojnĂ tam, kde boli?
âWere they not satisfied where they were?â asked the little prince.
â Älovek nikdy nie je spokojnĂœ tam, kde je, â povedal vĂœhybkĂĄr.
âNo one is ever satisfied where he is,â said the switchman.
Vtom ako hrom zadunel tretĂ vysvietenĂœ rĂœchlik.
And they heard the roaring thunder of a third brilliantly lighted express.
â IdĂș za tĂœmi prvĂœmi cestujĂșcimi? â spĂœtal sa MalĂœ princ.
âAre they pursuing the first travelers?â demanded the little prince.
â NejdĂș vĂŽbec za niÄĂm, â povedal vĂœhybkĂĄr. â Spia tam vnĂștri, alebo poriadne zĂvajĂș. Len deti si pritĂskajĂș nos na okennĂ© tabuÄŸky.
âThey are pursuing nothing at all,â said the switchman. âThey are asleep in there, or if they are not asleep they are yawning. Only the children are flattening their noses against the windowpanes.â
â Len deti vedia, Äo hÄŸadajĂș, â povedal MalĂœ princ. â StrĂĄcajĂș Äas pre handrovĂș bĂĄbiku, ona sa stĂĄva pre ne veÄŸmi dĂŽleĆŸitĂĄ, a keÄ im ju niekto vezme, plaÄĂșâŠ
âOnly the children know what they are looking for,â said the little prince. âThey waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them; and if anybody takes it away from them, they cryâŠâ
â MajĂș ĆĄĆ„astie, â povedal vĂœhybkĂĄr.
âThey are lucky,â the switchman said.

â DobrĂœ deĆ, â povedal MalĂœ princ.
âGood morning,â said the little prince.
â DobrĂœ deĆ, â povedal obchodnĂk.
âGood morning,â said the merchant.
Bol to obchodnĂk, Äo predĂĄval vylepĆĄenĂ© pilulky proti smĂ€du. StaÄilo raz za tĂœĆŸdeĆ jednu zhltnĂșĆ„, a Älovek nepociĆ„oval potrebu napiĆ„ sa.
This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need of anything to drink.
â PreÄo to predĂĄvaĆĄ? â spĂœtal sa MalĂœ princ.
âWhy are you selling those?â asked the little prince.
â Je to veÄŸkĂĄ Ășspora Äasu, â odpovedal obchodnĂk. â VypoÄĂtali to odbornĂci. UĆĄetrĂ sa pÀƄdesiattri minĂșt za tĂœĆŸdeĆ.
âBecause they save a tremendous amount of time,â said the merchant. âComputations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week.â
â A Äo sa urobĂ s tĂœmi pÀƄdesiatimi tromi minĂștami?
âAnd what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?â
â KaĆŸdĂœ si s nimi urobĂ, Äo chceâŠ
âAnything you likeâŠâ
â Keby som ja mal premĂĄrniĆ„ pÀƄdesiattri minĂșt, ĆĄiel by som celkom pomaliÄky k studniÄkeâŠ
âAs for me,â said the little prince to himself, âif I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.â

Đ„XIV
Bolo to ĂŽsmeho dĆa po mojej nehode na pĂșĆĄti, a keÄ som poÄĂșval prĂbeh o obchodnĂkovi, pil som poslednĂș kvapku zo svojej zĂĄsoby vody.
It was now the eighth day since I had had my accident in the desert, and I had listened to the story of the merchant as I was drinking the last drop of my water supply.
â Ach, â povedal som MalĂ©mu princovi, â tvoje spomienky sĂș veÄŸmi peknĂ©, ale ja som eĆĄte neopravil lietadlo, nemĂĄm uĆŸ Äo piĆ„, a takisto by som bol ĆĄĆ„astnĂœ, keby som mohol celkom pomaliÄky krĂĄÄaĆ„ k nejakej studniÄke!
âAh,â I said to the little prince, âthese memories of yours are very charming; but I have not yet succeeded in repairing my plane; I have nothing more to drink; and I, too, should be very happy if I could walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water!â
â Moja priateÄŸka lĂĆĄka⊠â povedal mi.
âMy friend the fox â â the little prince said to me.
â ChlapÄek mĂŽj, uĆŸ nejde viac o lĂĆĄku!
âMy dear little man, this is no longer a matter that has anything to do with the fox!â
â PreÄo?
âWhy not?â
â PretoĆŸe Äoskoro umrieme od smĂ€duâŠ
âBecause I am about to die of thirstâŠâ
Nepochopil moju nĂĄmietku a povedal mi:
He did not follow my reasoning, and he answered me:
â Je dobre, ĆŸe sme mali priateÄŸa, aj keÄ mĂĄme zomrieĆ„. Ja som veÄŸmi rĂĄd, ĆŸe som mal priateÄŸku lĂĆĄkuâŠ
âIt is a good thing to have had a friend, even if one is about to die. I, for instance, am very glad to have had a fox as a friendâŠâ
âNevie odhadnĂșĆ„ nebezpeÄenstvo,â vravel som si. âNikdy necĂti ani hlad, ani smĂ€d. StaÄĂ mu trochu slnkaâŠâ
âHe has no way of guessing the danger,â I said to myself. âHe has never been either hungry or thirsty. A little sunshine is all he needsâŠâ
Ale on na mĆa pozrel a odpovedal na moju myĆĄlienku:
But he looked at me steadily, and replied to my thought:
â Aj ja som smĂ€dnĂœâŠ pohÄŸadajme studĆuâŠ
âI am thirsty, too. Let us look for a wellâŠâ
Hodil som unavene rukou: je nezmyselnĂ© hÄŸadaĆ„ naslepo studĆu v nekoneÄnej pĂșĆĄti. A predsa sme sa vydali na cestu.
I made a gesture of weariness. It is absurd to look for a well, at random, in the immensity of the desert. But nevertheless we started walking.
Ako sme tak celĂ© hodiny tĂĆĄko krĂĄÄali, nastala noc a zaÄali sa zaĆŸĂhaĆ„ hviezdy. Zazrel som ich ako vo sne, lebo som mal od smĂ€du slabĂș horĂșÄku. SlovĂĄ MalĂ©ho princa mi vĂrili v mysli.
When we had trudged along for several hours, in silence, the darkness fell, and the stars began to come out. Thirst had made me a little feverish, and I looked at them as if I were in a dream. The little princeâs last words came reeling back into my memory:
â Tak aj ty si smĂ€dnĂœ? â spĂœtal som sa ho.
âThen you are thirsty, too?â I demanded.
