I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds. On the morning of his departure he put his planet in perfect order. He carefullycleaned out his active volcanoes. He possessed two active volcanoes; andthey were very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning. Healso had one volcano that was extinct. But, as he said, "One neverknows!" So he cleaned out the extinct volcano, too. If they are wellcleaned out, volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions.Volcanic eruptions are like fires in a chimney.
On our earth we are obviously much too small to clean out our volcanoes. That is why they bring no end of trouble upon us.
The little prince also pulled up, with a certain sense of dejection, the last little shoots of the baobabs. He believed that he would never want to return. But on thislast morning all these familiar tasks seemed very precious to him. Andwhen he watered the flower for the last time, and prepared to place herunder the shelter of her glass globe, he realized that he was very closeto tears.
"Goodbye," he said to the flower.
But she made no answer.
"Goodbye," he said again.
The flower coughed. But it was not because she had a cold.
"I have been silly," she said to him, at last. "I ask your forgiveness. Try to be happy . . ."
He was surprised by this absence of reproaches. He stood there all bewildered, the glass globe held arrested in mid-air. He did not understand this quiet sweetness.
"Of course I love you," the flower said to him. "It is my fault that you have not known it all the while. That is of no importance. But you--you have been just as foolish as I.Try to be happy . . . Let the glass globe be. I don't want it any more."
"But the wind--"
"My cold is not so bad as all that . . . The cool night air will do me good. I am a flower."
"But the animals--"
"Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies. It seems that they are very beautiful. And if not thebutterflies--and the caterpillars--who will call upon me? You will befar away . . . As for the large animals--I am not at all afraid of anyof them. I have my claws."
And, na�vely, she showed her four thorns. Then she added:
"Don't linger like this. You have decided to go away. Now go!"
For she did not want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower . . .

At last I'm able to recorded it again..(I waited for the right quite time here, LOL)
Thank God!!
Nice part!
And you've done it very well.
Good job!
The scene of their farewell!!
It was so sad situation that you were able to convey it in its best way.
I like that grief in your voice so…
But hope that you will be always smiling, because your nice smiles are much lovelier :)
Yes dear! Indeed it's a sad part..:( ......I didn't understand before why the little prince left his planet. And my heart went to the flower, although she's full of vanity. I thought she was just misunderstood. .......and now clearer reason why the little prince left the planet.
Thank you for listening, Sahar dear!
As long as you are here, I keep doing it with a smile..:)
Hi Sahar,! Good morning dear....:)
This morning I recorded this chapter. Thinking of you and what you said that this our little listening practice makes you come back here in our lovely group. That this brings back so much good memories. It's such a joy to hear it...Thank you my friend.
I'd like to say this in advance my friend. If ever I'm not able to come here and posted a record for several days or a week, it's just means that I've have caught on the middle of something..But my absence doesn't mean I stop thinking of our little adventure here. Surely, I'll come back to finish it till the ending of the story.
Hello to your nice smile :)
Please do it every time that you can, dear.
Oh my! I've just found out there's an error in the recording..it only recorded 41 secs. :)
But where is that 41 secs?!
I can't see it!
:)
oh dear I deleted it...But sure I'll post another one. :)

First of all we should know what could be love ? and based on our recent discussions it is reflection of our hearts when there was nothing for reflecting else of one thing and it is heart of our beloved . Think about that flower. She love him but there are some dirt on her heart which don't let receiving reflections completely. She was thinking about her beauties her health and her safety without thinking about him but at the end of their dialogue you can see there is no need too glass globe and there is no problem about wild animals . It shows Love over than our usual needs . "It is my fault that you have not known it all the while." It is her fault because she has not taken a good care about her heart to be shiny. It should be a routine cleaning our hearts as well as our volcanoes and weeding surface of our planet .
