"If Your Majesty wishes to be promptly obeyed," he said, "he should be able to give me a reasona
ble order. He should be able, for example, to order me to be gone by the end of one minute. It seems to me that conditions are favorable......"

As the king made no answer, the little
prince hesitated a moment. Then, with a sigh, he took his leave.

"I make you my Ambassador," the king called out, hastily.

He had a magnificent air of authority.


"The grown-ups are very strange," the little prince said to himself, as he continued on his journey.
"如果以陛下的威仪要我能够心悦诚服的话,"他说:"就应该为我下一道合情合理的命令。 例如,你应该命令我在一分钟之内离开。 对我而言,这就是对我最合理的命令了。" 国王沉默不语,小王子迟疑片刻。
叹了一口气之后,就向国王辞行了。
"我命令你当我的大使。"国王匆忙地喊叫。
他又摆出一副不可一世威风慑人的架势。
"大人们真是奇怪。"小王子喃喃自语,又继续他的下一站旅程。
