eskimos friend '"You're a strange animal," he said at last. "You are as this as a finger..."

"But I am more powerful than a king's finger," said the snake.

The little prince smiled. "You do not look very powerful... you don't even have paws... you cannot even travel."

"I can carry you farther than a ship," said the snake.

He twined himself around the little prince's ankle, like a golden bracelet.

"Whomever I touch I send back to the earth from which they came," he added. "But you are pure and innocent and come from a star."

The little prince said nothing.

"I feel sorry for you, so weak on this Earth of granite. I may be able to help you one day, if you become too homesick for your own planet. I can..."

"Oh! I understand you perfectly," said the little prince. "But why do you talk in riddles all the time?"

"I solve them all," said the snake.

And they both fell silent.'
