"Men," said the little prince, "set out on their way in express trains, but they do not know what they are looking for. Then they rush about, and get excited, and turn round and round…"
"I am thirsty for this water," said the little prince. "Give me some of it to drink…"
And I understood what he had been looking for.
I raised the bucket to his lips. He drank, his eyes closed. It was as sweet as some special festival treat. This water was indeed a different thing from ordinary nourishment. Its sweetness was born of the walk under the stars, the song of the pulley, the effort of my arms. It was good for the heart, like a present. When I was a little boy, the lights of the Christmas tree, the music of the Midnight Mass, the tenderness of smiling faces, used to make up, so, the radiance of the gifts I received.
当你远离尘世时，
当你面对生死时，
什么欲望都不如一杯水来得真切，
而且人需要的真是很简单，
只要付出了劳动，
获得一粥一饭足以。
只有在告别之时，
方觉得弥足可贵。
