she was quite vain! And her mysterious adornment had lasted days and days. And then one morning, precisely at sunrise, she showed herself.
And after having labored so painstakingly, she yawned and sa, "Ah! I'm hardly awake... Forgive me ... I'm still all unty ..."
But the little prince couldn't contain his admiration.
"How lovely you are!"
"Aren't I?" The flower answered sweetly. "And I was born the same time as the sun ..."
The little prince realized that she wasn't any too modest, but she was so dazzling!
"I believe it is breakfast time," she had soon added. "Would you be so kind as to tend to me?"
And the little prince, utterly abashed, having gone to look for a watering can, served the flower.
She had soon begun tormenting him with her rather touchy vanity. One day, for instance, alluding to her four thorns, she remarked to the little prince, "I'm ready for tigers, with all their claws!"
"There are no tigers on my planet," the little prince had objected, "and beses, tigers don't eat weeds."
