“你要这五亿多的星星做甚么？”

"Millions of those little objects," he said, "which one sometimes sees in the sky.""Flies"

“五亿零一百六十二万二千七百三十一颗星星。我是端庄的人，我重视切确。”

"Then they belong to me, because I was the first person to think of it.""Is that all that is necessary""Certainly. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you get an idea before any one else, you take out a patent on it: it is yours. So with me: I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them.""Yes, that is true," said the little prince. "And what do you do with them""I administer them," replied the businessman. "I count them and recount them. It is difficult. But I am a man who is naturally interested in matters of consequence."The little prince was still not satisfied.

“甚么也不做。它们都是属于我的。”
