The Little Prince's Journal
Ep. 3
Mom was talking with my teacher, the fox said. She was telling him about my condition. Crying and hurting.
Mom the rose
Please... You need to understand. My son will die soon. I don't want him to learn these things that doesn't count for his future. He wants to discover the world. He wants to live.
Teacher
It's hard to teach him things I don't teach. It's also hard to get him to feel like he is living if he's unable to leave his room.
Mom the rose
It's his andicap. Please just give him the knowledge he wants.
Teacher
I'm starting to think you want me to teach him what he wants to hear.
Mom the rose
That's not what I mean. I just want him to be happy. We don't know when he'll leave this world and I want him to have lived fully in his fantasy so he can go with no regrets.
He kept silent, thinking of something he could do.
Teacher
Well... I think the best for him will be to have a journal. He'll be able to writ down all of his thoughts. All of his dreams and all of his living in it. I guess he'll be learning from his own fantasies.
Mom the rose
Thank you a lot. I owe you this one.
Teacher
No you don't. I'm doing my work. The work of a teacher. I'll be letting him discover his own world and live fully.
The fox came back in the room and said it all to the kid.
The fox
That is what she said to your teacher.
Alexander
Then she really does love me.
The fox
Of course she does. Do you think it's easy to live with knowing your kid can die anytime soon?
The fox
Then here. The positive point is that you'll learn everyday more about your own imagination and your world.
Alexander
Yeah! That'll be cool! Thank you my fox.
The fox then came closer and snuggled the sleepy kid until sleep comes and get him.
