Scene
I
The
little
prince
awakens
on
his
planet
after
the
snakebite.
The
planet
is
full
of
baobab
and
about
to
be
destroyed.
The
little
prince
sees
the
planet
and
says
happily:
Little
Prince
1:
My
Planet!
(Looks
around
at
the
destruction
and
says
with
despair)
My
planet
...
And
my
rose?
Is
she
saved
or
lost
forever?
(Searches
underneath
the
babobabs)
No!
Where
can
she
be,
my
rose?
She
was
here
when
I
left.
Baobab:
Which
rose
are
you
looking
for?
Little
Prince
1:
That
special,
unique
rose.
My
rose.
Baobab:
As
our
roots
were
growing,
your
rose
was
more
and
more
weakened.
Shortly
before
wither,
a
traveler
from
the
earth
uprooted
it
and
took
her
with
him.
Little
Prince
1:
He
took
her
with
him
to
earth?
I
must
to
find
her.
If
it’s
necessary,
I’ll
go
back
to
earth
for
my
flower.

2. SCENE
II
The
little
prince
travels
to
earth
with
migratory
birds.
As
he
approaches
the
earth,
his
feelings
appear
as
clouds.
Cloud-­‐suspense:
Will
I
find
it?
We
must
be
reunited.
Cloud-­‐doubt:
Did
the
big
baobab
envied
my
rose
and
lied
to
me?
Maybe
the
traveller
didn’t
take
her
with
him.
Or
maybe
the
baobabs
uprooted
her?
Cloud-­‐confidence:
I
will
find
my
flower
no
matter
what.
I
will
never
give
up!
SCENE
III
The
little
prince
arrives
in
Pentalofos
in
the
schoolyard.
The
school
director
leaves
the
office
in
a
hurry
and
sees
the
little
prince.
School
Director:
What
are
you
doing
here?
How
did
you
get
in?
Little
Prince
2:
I
am
seeking
my
flower.
School
Director:
There
is
no
pupil-­‐flower
in
this
school.
Here
we
only
have
children
as
pupils.
Little
Prince
2:You
do
not
understand
...
I
am
seeking
my
rose,
my
unique,
my
special
rose!
For
a
year
I
haven’t
seen
it,
you
must
help
me!
School
Director:
The
only
flowers
that
we
have,
are
planted
by
our
gardener.
Maybe
he
can
help.
There
he
is,
in
the
rose-­‐garden.
Little
Prince
runs
to
the
garden.
He
sees
the
gardener
and
he
asks
in
anguish.
Little
Prince
2:
Excuse
me
Sir
have
you
seen
my
rose?
Are
you
the
traveler
who
took
it
from
my
planet?
Gardener:
What
planet?
What
are
you
talking
about
child,
I
do
not
understand…
Little
Prince
2:
In
my
planet
I
had
a
unique,
a
special
rose.
But
I
left
a
year
ago
and
just
left
her
all
by
herself.
When
I
returned,
the
baobabs
had
covered
the
planet
and
my
rose
was
gone
...
The
big
baobab
said
that
a
traveler
from
the
earth
uprooted
her
and
took
her
with
him.
Are
you
that
traveler?
Gardener:
No
my
boy,
I’m
not.
I
am
very
sorry.
Here
I
have
many
roses,
if
you
want
why
not
choose
one
of
them?
I
would
gladly
offer
it
to
you!
Little
Prince
2:
None
of
these
roses
are
like
my
rose.
They
are
beautiful,
but
not
special,
because
I
did
not
take
care
or
them,
I
did
not
share
beautiful
moments
with
them.
No,
I
want
back
my
rose.
Gardener:
Unfortunately,
I
cannot
help
you
my
child.
I
have
to
go
now,
but
you
can
just
sit
in
the
garden
for
a
while.
Please
reconsider.
You
might
change
your
mind.
(The
gardener
leaves
the
scene)
The
little
prince
kneels
in
front
of
roses
and
begins
to
cry:
Rose-­‐compassion:
Little
boy,
do
not
cry
I’ll
start
crying
too.
What
happened
to
you?
Little
Prince
2:
I
lost
my
flower.
It’s
my
fault;
I
shouldn’t
go
and
leave
her
all
alone.
She
was
unprotected
and
vulnerable.
And
I
never
said
to
my
flower
how
much
I
love
her.
Rose-­‐jealousy:
That’s
enough
with
this
rose!
What
does
that
she
has
that
we
haven’t
got?
I’ve
had
enough
of
this
rose!
Rose-­‐arrogance:
I
am
the
most
beautiful
of
all.
Look
my
petals!
Have
you
seen
petals
more
beautiful
than
mine?
I’m
the
one
you
should
take
with
you.
Little
Prince
2:
I
love
my
flower
so
much!
She
was
demanding
and
dandy,
but
with
my
rose
I’ve
leaved
the
most
beautiful
moments!

3. In
the
other
half
of
the
scene,
we
see
the
little
prince
with
the
flower
on
his
planet.
We
see
the
happy
moments
they
lived
together.
These
are
excerpts
from
the
book.
Rose
1:
(yawns
and
stretches)
Ah! I am scarcely awake. I beg that you will excuse me. My petals are
still all disarranged . . .
Little
Prince
3:
Oh! How beautiful you are!
Rose
1:
Am I not? And I was born at the same moment as the sun . . .
Little
Prince
3:
What
fragrance!
The
whole
planet
smells
so
nice!
Rose
1:
I
think
it's
time
for
breakfast.
Would
you
be
kind
enough
to
think
of
my
needs?
The
Little
Prince
runs
and
brings
cool
refreshing
water
and
waters
the
flower
with
the
watering
can.
Then,
he
brings
his
chair
next
to
the
flower
and
they
look
at
sunset
together.
Little
Prince
3
and
Rose
1:
I
love
sunsets!
Back
in
the
school
garden.
Rose-­‐admiration:
Oh!
You
had
such
a
wonderful
time
together!
And
you
were
bonded
with
such
a
great
love!
Rose-­‐Loneliness:
You
must
feel
so
alone
away
from
your
flower...
Rose-­‐fear:
And
you
certainly
do
fear
something
bad
happened,
perhaps
it
withered
and
you
will
never
see
her
again.
Little
Prince
3:
I
am
very
sad.
I
want
to
find
her
again!
I
promise
that
I
will
never
leave
her
anymore.
Rose-­‐Anger:
Why
do
you
want
her
back,
this
rose?
All
she
said
was
“I
WANT,
I
WANT,
I
WANT...”
She
only
made
demands
and
offered
nothing.
It
was
a
good
decision
to
leave
her,
how
much
more
to
endure?
In
the
other
half
of
the
scene
we
see
the
little
prince
with
the
flower
on
the
planet.
The
Rose
is
capricious.
These
are
excerpts
from
the
book.
Rose
2:
(shows
it’s
4
thorns
to
the
little
Prince)
Let the tigers come with their claws!
Little
Prince
4:
There are no tigers on my planet. And, anyway, tigers do not eat weeds.
Rose
2:
(answers
sweetly)
I am not a weed.
Little
Prince
4:
Please
excuse
me...
Rose
2:
I am not at all afraid of tigers, but I have a horror of drafts. I suppose you wouldn't have a screen
for me?
Little
Prince
4:
(talks
to
himself)
a horror of drafts--that is bad luck, for a plant. This flower is a very
complex creature . . .
Rose
2:
At night I want you to put me under a glass globe. It is very cold where you live. In the place I
came from…
Little
Prince
4:
But
you
came
as
a
seed.
You
could
not
have
seen
other
worlds.
Rose
2:
(Embarrassed over having let herself be caught on the verge of such a naïve untruth, she coughed
two or three times, in order to put the little prince in the wrong.) The
screen?
Little
Prince
4:
I
was
just
going
to
look
for
it
but
you
started
chatting!
Rose
2(Coughs
3
times
so that he should suffer from remorse just the same)
Back
in
the
school-­‐garden.

4. Little
Prince
5:
I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. She cast her fragrance and her radiance
over me. I ought never to have run away from her . . . I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay
behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her
. . .
On
the
other
half
of
the
scene,
we
see
the
little
prince
with
the
flower
on
the
planet.
Played
the
parting
moments.
These
are
excerpts
from
the
book.
The little prince pulled up, with a certain sense of dejection, the last little shoots of the baobabs. He
believed that he would never want to return. But on this last morning all these familiar tasks seemed very
precious to him. And when he watered the flower for the last time, and prepared to place her under the
shelter of her glass globe, he realized that he was very close to tears.
Little
Prince
6:
Goodbye.
Rose
does
not
answer.
Little
Prince
6:
Goodbye.
Rose
3:
(Coughs
3
times)
I have been silly. I ask your forgiveness. Try to be happy . . .
Little
Prince
6:
How
come
you
don’t
complain?
How
you
can
you
keep
so
calm?
Don’t
you
love
me?
Are
we
not
friends
anymore?
Rose
3:
But
of
course
I
love
you,
and
certainly
we
are
friends.
You
never
understood
and
it’s
my
fault.
Anyway,
it
doesn’t
matter.
But
you
were
silly
too.
Try
to
be
happy
...
Take
the
screen
away.
I
do
not
want
it
anymore.
Little
Prince
6:
But
the
wind...
Rose
3:
My cold is not so bad as all that . . . The cool night air will do me good.
I
am
a
flower
after
all.
Little
Prince
6:
Yes,
but
the
animals...
Rose
3:
Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with
the butterflies. It seems that they are very beautiful. And if not the butterflies and the caterpillars, who will
call upon me? You will be far away . . . As for the large animals… I am not at all afraid of any of them. I
have my thorns. So go. Don’t just stand there go now!
Back
in
the
school-­‐garden
Little
Prince
7:
She
did
not
want
me
to
see
her
crying.
She
was
a
very
proud
flower.
Rose-­‐love:
Trust
your
heart
little
Prince.
Only
then
you
will
find
your
favorite
flower.
Little
Prince
7:
My
heart
is
telling
me
to
go
back
to
my
planet.
If
I
stay
here
a
little
longer,
my
planet
will
be
destroyed.
And
then
I
will
have
neither
a
flower
nor
a
planet.
Rose-­‐optimism:
Never
forsake
love!
Surely
in
your
planet
you
will
find
the
answer.
Song
Love
endures
all
And
you're
a
morning
flower,
Something
ephemeral
that
passes
by,
But
it
's
love
that
brings
out
the
truth
in
everything.
Your
mistakes
are
big
And
your
every
mistake
hurts,

5. But
it
's
love
that
brings
out
the
truth
in
everything.
Love
does
not
know
dirge,
Love
does
not
know
beginnings
and
ends
It
beats
like
an
invisible
clock
And
the
earth
keeps
on
turning-­‐
and
the
earth
keeps
on
turning.
Love
endures
all,
Love
is
hopeful
It
gives
life
to
the
world
And
the
earth
keeps
on
turning-­‐
and
the
earth
keeps
on
turning.

The
little
prince
returns
to
his
planet
with
migratory
birds.
On
the
way
he
meets
the
pilot
in
his
plane.
SCENE
IV
Pilot:
Little
Prince!
Is
it
you?
How
I’ve
missed
you!
Little
Prince
5:
Hello
my
pilot
friend!
I’ve
missed
you
too!
(They
laugh
with
joy)
Pilot:
Come,
I
will
take
you
to
your
planet
with
my
plane.
And
I
have
another
friend
with
me.
Fox:
My
little
prince,
finally
we
meet
again!
Little
Prince
5:
My
fox!
My
fox!
Wait
for
me,
I’m
coming!
The
Little
Prince
gets
on
the
plane
and
they
disappear
in
the
sky.
Star-­‐hope:
When
you
keep
hope
alive,
the
truth
will
always
appear.
SCENE
V
The
Little
Prince
cleans
the
planet,
removes
baobabs
and
takes
his
chair
and
sits
to
see
the
sunset.
Little
Prince
8:
I
love
sunsets.
Especially
when
I'm
sad.
And
now
I'm
sadder
than
ever.
The
rose
garden
in
the
schoolyard
said
that
I
would
find
the
answer
here.
But
I
cannot
find
it.
I
lost
my
only
friend
on
the
planet.
The
only
thing
left
is
to
remember
our
beautiful
friendship.
Little
Prince
remembered
the
fox
and
her
words
Fox: 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. The
time
you
wasted
on
your
rose
is
what
makes
the
rose
so
important.
People
have
forgotten
this
truth.
But
you
must
not
forget.
You'll
be
forever
responsible
for
those
who
have
tamed.
You
are
responsible
for
your
rose
...
The
Little
Prince
starts
crying.
From
the
soil
a
rose
begins
to
grow.
Suddenly
he
sees
his
rose
before
him.
Rose
4:
My
Dear
Friend,
you
came
back
at
last!
But
...
are
you
crying?
Little
Prince
8:
My
Rose!
Is
it
really
you?
My
dear
friend,
I
thought
I
had
lost
you!
Rose
4:
My
little
Prince,
I
was
right
here
and
I
waited
patiently
for
you
to
come
back.
The
baobabs
gave
me
a
hard
time,
they
were
jealous
and
wanted
the
whole
planet
to
themselves.

6. Little
Prince
8:
You
don’t
need
to
worry
anymore
about
anything.
I
pulled
out
the
baobabs
and
cleaned
the
planet.
Rose
4:
How
was
your
trip?
What
wonders
did
you
see
and
hear?
Tell
me
everything.
Little
Prince
8:
I
learned
a
lot!
I
made
2
new
friends:
a
pilot
and
a
fox.
The
pilot
sends
you
a
gift.
Look!
A
sheep!
But
don’t
worry;
it’s
not
going
to
eat
you,
it
has
a
muzzle.
Little
Prince
and
the
rose
continue
talking.
The
choir
sings
Song
Friendship
is
above
all
Friends
are
never
separated
They
share
beautiful
moments
Our
Hearts
beat
as
one
and
Laugh
and
overcome
loneliness
The
day
is
bright
When
we
are
together
The
world
feels
like
new
And
life
is
colorful
When
we
are
together
