A sad and beautiful story.
The little prince fell in love with the rose plant. In the planet where the little prince was, it was small and desolate, but one day a rose plant grew, and for the little prince, that rose plant was the only one among thousands of planets.
But the rose had a vanity that the little prince could not understand, and would dress herself up for a long time, but told the little prince that her hair was still messy. Think they were born at the same time as the sun, always worried about their own safety, afraid of tigers will eat them, will be too weak to want to let the little prince to help her set up a screen.
But no matter what, the little prince was still in love with her. He was just too young then to know how he went about loving her.
So the young prince took advantage of a migrating bird to go away. Before he left he put his planet in order, carefully cleaning those active volcanoes and helping to water and cover the roses against the wind.
"Goodbye." He said to her.
But the roses didn't answer him.
"Goodbye." The little prince said it again.
Rosebud coughed but not from a cold. She said to him, "I have been a fool in the past. Please forgive me and I bless you."
She refused the little prince's glass cover; she was no longer afraid of tigers, wind, or insects. She said to him, "I really love you, and it's my fault for not making you understand my feelings. It's nothing, but you used to be just as foolish as I was."
Finally she waved the thorns on her body and urged the young prince to hurry up and depart, finding his dilly-dallying distracting. And after the little prince left, the proud rose was left alone with her tears.
The love between the little prince and the rose was a beautiful encounter and a sad one. Both are too young, obviously lonely as well as fond of each other, but due to their own pride they do not reveal their hearts.
The young prince didn't know how to love her, and took her "pleasure" for vanity. The rose also doesn't know how to express her love, and deliberately puts herself in a vulnerable position in love, but inadvertently conflicts with the little prince's imagination.
The two met, but did not come together. It's a beautiful and sad story.
