'"
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
.'
