The next planet was inhabited by a tippler. This was a very short visit, but
it plunged the little prince into deep dejection.

"What are you doing there?" he said to the tippler, whom he found settled down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottles.

"I am drinking," replied the tippler, with a lugubrious air.

"Why are you drinking?" demanded the little prince.

"So that I may forget," replied the t
ippler.

"Forget what?" inquired the little prince, who already was sorry for him.

"Forget that I am ashamed," the tippler confessed, hanging his head.


"Ashamed of what?" insisted the little prince, who wanted to help him.
下一个行星上住着一个酒鬼。 这回的拜访时间非常短,却让小王子极度沮丧。

"你在那儿做什么?"他对酒鬼说,看他不发一语坐在一堆空酒瓶和一堆有酒的酒瓶之前。
"我在喝酒。"酒鬼黯然神伤地回答。
"你为什么要喝酒?"小王子问。
"为了可以忘记。"酒鬼回答。
"忘记什么?"小王子又问,心中却为酒鬼感到难过。
"要忘记自己是多么的可耻呀。"酒鬼垂头丧气地表白。
"你的可耻是什么?"小王子追问到底,一心只想帮助他。
