The Little Prince — Chapter 20But it happened that the little prince, having long walked through sands, rocks, and snows, finally found a road.And all roads lead to the abodes of men."Good morning," he said.He was standing before a garden, all abloom with roses."Good morning," said the roses.The little prince gazed at them. They all looked like his flower."Who are you?" he demanded, thunderstruck."We are roses," the roses said.And he was overcome with sadness.His flower had told him that she was the only one of her kind in all the universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden!"She would be very much annoyed," he said to himself, "if she should see that… she would cough most dreadfully, and she would pretend that she was dying, to avoid being laughed at. And I should have to pretend to nurse her back to health—for I should hate to let her really die, just to humiliate me too…"Then he went on with his reflections: "I thought that I was rich, with a flower that was unique in all the world; and all I had was a common rose. A common rose, and three volcanoes that come up to my knees—and one of them perhaps extinct forever… that doesn't make me a very great prince…"And he lay down in the grass and cried.
