《小王子英文版》精读笔记Chapter 14-6

“Yes, a month. Thirty minutes. Thirty days. Good evening.”

And he lighted his lamp again.

As the little prince watched him, he felt that he loved this lamplighter who was so faithful to his orders. He remembered the sunsets which he himself had gone to seek, in other days, merely by pulling up his chair; and he wanted to help his friend.

“You know,” he said, “I can tell you a way you can rest whenever you want to...”

“I always want to rest,” said the lamplighter.

For it is possible for a man to be faithful and lazy at the same time.
