His Return from the Asteroid

You might have read the book "The Little Prince" at least once. It's a story full of great beauty. A lot of people have read it, and it is understood to be one of the novels that everyone should read. The story includes the 'Little Prince', who is a boy that came from asteroid B-612. But, he went back to his home and never came back again. However, that is no longer true, because I saw him.

It was dark. A crescent moon appeared. I smiled; I like days that have crescent moons. But, I saw a boy sitting on an asteroid. "Is he the little prince?" I said. Thinking I was dreaming, I rubbed my eyes, pinched my legs, and blinked several times. I decided to open the window, and yell "ARE YOU THE LITTLE PRINCE?" but all he did was stand still, smiling. Well, I forgot that he didn't answer questions. I said, "COME DOWN. COME TO EARTH!" instead. After a second, he was gone. I looked for him, but he was nowhere.

"Hello," a small voice came from my bed. "AHH...!" I yelled. He was sitting on my bed! I calmed myself, and said, "Oh. You are fast." He said, "This bed looks cozy to me." It was my first time talking with him, so I felt a little awkward.

So I said, "Yeah, It is cozy." But then, I had an idea. "Hey, I saw your book. Did the sheep in the box eat your flower?" 

"No," he said. "The sheep is easy to take care of." After he answered, we didn't have anything to say. So, I told him to go but visit again. With no word, he disappeared and went to sit on the asteroid.

These days, I haven't seen him. But I'll invite him some time, and I hope it's soon. Please tell me if you've seen him.
