Te grown-ups are certainlyaltogether extraordinary, he saidsimply, talking to himself as hecontinued on his journey.
Sadly, Exuprys little prince didnthappen to visit the planet o thecollege student. It certainly would
have been a memorable experience, orit is a small planet, whose only inhabit-ant is ull o insecurities, but surpris-ingly vain and arrogant. He talks a
lot without saying much, just like thegrown-ups, but although he doesntadmit it, he never lets go o a question,like the little prince does.
