"Er-look for him?" said Charlie.

The Little Prince Quote I
"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset fourty-four times!" And a little later you added: "You know-one loves the sunset when one is so sad..."
"Were you sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the fourty-four sunsets?"
But the little prince made no reply.
-The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
