“Why are you drinking? - the little prince asked.

- In order to forget - replied the drunkard.

- To forget what? - inquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him.

- To forget that I am ashamed - the drunkard confessed, hanging his head.

- Ashamed of what? - asked the little prince who wanted to help him.

- Ashamed of drinking! - concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence.

And the little prince went away, puzzled.

'Grown-ups really are very, very odd', he said to himself as he continued his journey.”
