Le Petit Prince


8th Age boys enjoyed watching Le Petit Prince, a movie based on the well-known story written by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.This is a story with many levels, both for children and for adults. Here's an example of one of the many heart-felt lines in this endearing story:
If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells hemself, "My flower's up there somewhere..." But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And isn't that important?
