"Of course in the book, it becomes a planet, and then all of this is floating above an image of Earth, and what do we see on Earth but a little sheep that looks very much like the sheep in the opening of The Little Prince, and of course a flower, and the Little Prince has a beloved flower on his planet," Nelson says.

On other planets, he met a vain man who insisted the prince praise him, then a drunkard who drank because he was ashamed of his drinking. On the fourth planet, he encountered a businessman who claimed to own the stars. When the little prince asked what the man did with the stars, he said he counted them and put them in the bank. The boy dismissed this idea of ownership because an owner should take care of his property as the little prince has taken care of his three volcanoes and the rose on his planet.
The boy climbed a mountain in hopes of seeing the whole planet but saw only miles of rocks. His echo answered him when he shouted. He thought the men of Earth must be silly if they only repeat what you say. When he found a garden of roses, the little prince realized that his planet must be very small, indeed. The thought made him sad, and he laid down and cried.
Along his travels, the little prince met a railway switchman who explained that only children take the time to look out the window. The man also marveled at how they can form strong attachments to something as simple as a rag doll. If children lose the thing, they cry.
The following day, the pilot manages to fix his plane. He returns to the well to tell the prince, but he finds the boy talking to someone about poison. The narrator looks down to see the snake, which then slithers away. The little prince explains that he must go back to his planet to take care of his rose.
The pilot flies home to his friends who are glad to see him. The stars are more special to him as he thinks about the little prince. He is sad, because he misses the one person who saw the world as he does. The narrator draws a final picture of the barren desert landscape and asks that the reader keep an eye out for that beautiful place. He hopes they will tell him if they ever see the little prince.
