eserts."
"That is very interesting," the little prince sa. "Here at last is someone who has a real profession!" And he gazed around him at the geographer's planet. He had never seen a planet so majestic. "Your planet is very beautiful," he sa. "Does it have any oceans?"
"I couldn't say," sa the geographer.
"Oh!" The little prince was disappointed. "And mountains?"
"I couldn't say," sa the geographer.
"And cities and rivers and deserts?"
"I couldn't tell you that, either," the geographer sa.
"But you're a geographer!"
"That's right," sa the geographer, "but I'm not an explorer. There's not one explorer on my planet. A geographer doesn't go out to describe cities, rivers, mountains, seas, oceans, and deserts. A geographer is too important to go wandering about. He never leaves his study. But he receives the explorers there. He questions them, and he writes down what they remember. And if the memories of one of the explorers seem interesting to him, then the geographer conducts an inquiry into that explorer's moral character. "
"Why is that?"
"Because an explorer who told lies would cause disasters in the geography books. As would an explorer who drank too much."

"Why is that?" the little prince asked again.
"Because drunkards see double. And the geographer would write down two mountains where there was only one."
