Although I'm not in my childhood, I still prefer reading fairy tales. They often make me think of some special experiences and feelings. This summer I've reviewed this kind of tales, The Little Prince. It was published in 1940. It's the world-famous fairy tale by the French author Antoine. "I", the narrator of the story, is a pilot. His plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. The little prince lives on a small planet, and he grows a flower called ROSE there. One day they have a quarrel , so the little prince runs away. On his all-alone journey, he meets different kinds of people. From these people he gets a conclusion that grown-ups are strange. And with the help of the man he meets, he descends in the Sahara. This book moved me a lot. It is not only a fairy tale for children and teenagers, but also for grown-ups. ,.

But how _ I was to discover that though the car was very much like my own, it belonged to someone else. Quite tired now, I was ready to give up the search when I turned the corner.
