"It is contrary to etiquette to yawn in the presence of a king," the monarch said to him. "I forbid you to do so."
"I can't help it. I can't stop myself," replied the little prince, thoroughly embarrassed. "I have come on a long journey, and I have had no sleep."
"Ah, then," the king said. "I order you to yawn. It is years since I have seen anyone yawning. Yawns, to me, are objects of curiosity. Come, now! Yawn again! It is an order."
"That frightens me. I cannot, any more..." murmured the little prince, now completely abashed.
"Hum! Hum!" replied the king. "Then I-- I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to--"
He sputtered a little, and seemed vexed.“在国王面前打哈欠是不合乎礼节的行为”国王对小王子说，“我不许你这样做。”
“我忍不住，我不可能阻止自己，”小王子极其尴尬地回答道，“我刚经历过一次漫长的旅程，而且我还没能睡觉。”
“啊，那么”国王说道，“我现在命令你打哈欠，我很多年没看到过别人打哈欠了。对我来说，哈欠，是好奇心的产物。来吧，就现在！再打一次哈欠吧！这是命令！”
“那吓到我了。我再也不能......”小王子嘟囔着，他现在已经很羞愧了。
“哼！哼！”国王回答道，“那么我，我命令你时而打哈欠，时而......”
现在，国王有些生气，并且看起来有些恼怒了。
