And one day he said to me: "You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is. That would be very useful to them if they were to travel some day. Sometimes" he added, "there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day. But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe. I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes..."
So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, that for once I am breaking through my reserve. "Children" I say plainly, "watch out for the baobabs!"有一天，他劝我用心地画一副漂亮的图画，好叫我家乡的孩子们对这件事有 一个深刻的印象。他还对我说：“如果将来有一天他们出外旅行，这对他们是很 有用的。有时候，人们把自己的工作推到以后去做，并没有什么妨害，但要遇到 拔猴面包树苗这种事，那就非造成大灾难不可。我遇到过一个星球，上面住着一 个懒家伙，他放过了三棵小树苗……”
于是，根据小王子的说明，我把这个星球画了下来。我从来不大愿意以道学 家的口吻来说话，可是猴面包树的危险，大家都不大了解，对迷失在小行星上的 人来说，危险性非常之大，因此这一回，我贸然打破了我的这种不喜欢教训人的 惯例。我说：“孩子们，要当心那些猴面包树呀！”
