The fifth planet was very busy. It turned out to be less than everyone. On it only placed that the lantern is yes lamprik. The little prince could not understand why on the tiny, lost planet in the sky, where there are no homes, no residents, need a lantern and a flashar. But he thought:

"Maybe this man and riff. But he is not as ridiculous, like the king, ambition, a dealers and a drunkard. In his work, it still makes sense. When he lights his lamp - as if another star or flower is born. And when He extinguishes the lantern - as if a star or flower falls asleep. Beautiful occupation. This is truly useful because it is beautiful. "

And, having gone with this planet, he constantly bowed to the lamp.

"Good afternoon," he said. "Why did you expect a lantern?"

"Such a persuasion," answered the lamprik. - Good day.

- What kind of persuasion?

- Clean the lantern. Good evening.

And he again lit up the lantern.

- Why did you stop him again?

"Such a persuasion," repeated the lamprik.

"I don't understand," the little prince admitted.

"There is nothing to understand," said the lamprik. - The persuasion is a conspiracy. Good afternoon.

And repaid a lantern.

Then the red checkered handkerchief of Uther sweat from his forehead and said:

- Grave I have craft. Sometime it made sense. I quenched the lantern in the morning, and in the evening I brought again. I had a day to relax, and the night to sleep ...

- And then the persuasion changed?

"The persuasion did not change," the lamprik said. - In that matter! My planet from year to year rotates faster, and the staff remains the ear.

- And how now? - asked a little prince.

- Yes, like that. The planet makes full turn in one minute, and I have no second to respond. Every minute I gush the lantern and I light it again.

- That's funny! So, your day lasts only one minute!

"There is nothing funny here," the lamprik objected. - We are talking to you for a whole month.

- Whole month?!

- Well, yes. Thirty minutes. Thirty days. Good evening!

And he lasted the lantern again.

Little prince looked at the lamp, and he still liked this man who was so faithful to his word. The little prince remembered how he once rearranged a chair from place to place to once again look at the sunset. And he wanted to help a friend.

"Listen," he said the lamp. - I know the tool: you can relax when you just want ...

"I want to relax all the time," said the lamprik.

After all, you can be faithful to the word and nevertheless lazy.

"Your planet is such a tiny," the Little Prince continued, "you can bypass it in three steps." And just need to go at such a speed to stay in the sun all the time. When you want to relax, you're just all go, go ... and the day will stretch so much time as you wish.

"Well, I have little sense from this," said the lamprik. - Most of all I love to sleep.

"Then your business is bad," the little prince arose.

- Bad of my business, - confirmed the lamprik. - Good day.

And repaid a lantern.

"Here is a man," the Little Prince said himself, continuing the path, "That's a man who all would be despised - both the king, and the ambition, and the drunkard, and the dealers. And meanwhile, of them, everyone is one, in my opinion, not ridiculous . Maybe because he thinks not only about himself. "

Little prince sighed.

"That's where to make friends with," he thought yet. "But his planet is very tiny. There is no place for two ..."

He did not bother himself to admit that most of all regrets this wonderful planet for another reason: in twenty-four hours you can admire the sunset by a thousand four hundred forty time!
