00:00There is this prince and he lives on an asteroid.
00:04The prince now travels to several other planets and what does he find there?
00:09Who does he meet there? Adults.
00:11So he would find a king who had no subjects at all because he too was living
00:17on a planet as small as that of the prince. He says,
00:21I order the cosmos to run. How?
00:28I order the cosmos to run. The prince says how? He says, you know, when I order the sun would
00:35set,
00:35the prince asks, okay fine, show me, order the sun to set. He says no.
00:40To maintain harmony, I order the sun to set exactly at 6.30 pm and then he goes to another
00:47planet
00:47where he meets a drunkard, a tipler. And he asks the tipler, why are you drinking so much?
00:53And he says, because I'm ashamed. He says, why are you ashamed? I'm ashamed of drinking so much,
00:58so I drink so that I can forget my shame. The prince says, these adults are really funny people.
01:03Then he goes to another one where there lives an accountant or a rich man and he's counting
01:10everything all the time. He says, I'm counting something that I own.
01:14What is it? He says, all these stars. He says, how do you own them? Does somebody else own them?
01:19If nobody owns them, then I own them. The little prince is not socially conditioned,
01:26is a critique of adult morality and psychology.
