What is the summary of "The Little Prince"?

Here is a brief introduction to the summary of "The Little Prince."

The story begins with a pilot, referred to as "I," who crash-lands in the Sahara Desert and meets "the little prince," who has come to Earth from another asteroid.

The little prince talks to "I" about the other asteroids he visited before coming to Earth. It's a tale of meeting strange adults like a king, a conceited man, and a drunkard across six stars. Earth was the little prince's seventh planet.

While struggling to repair his airplane, "I" listens to the stories from the little prince. On the day the airplane miraculously gets fixed, "I" learns that the little prince intends to return to his own star.

In response to the sorrow of separation, the little prince tells "I," "Since I am going back to my own star, you should look up at the night sky and imagine that I am laughing on one of those stars. Then you will see all the stars are laughing."

Through the little prince's journey among the planets and the encounters and farewells with "I," Saint-Exupéry conveys messages about life and love.

At the beginning of the story, it states, "This book is dedicated to a certain grown-up who lives in France and has difficulties."

Despite being a children's book, it provides profound insights aimed at adults who have lost their childlike hearts, which is why it is supported by adults around the world.

Here are some quotes from "The Little Prince" that are recommended for wedding scenes.
