The fifth planet was very strange. It was the smallest of all. There was just enough room on it for a street lamp and a lamplighter. When he arrived on the planet he respectfully saluted the lamplighter. -Good morning. Why have you just put out your lamp? -Those are the orders, replied the lamplighter. -Good morning. -What are the orders? -The orders are that I put out my lamp. Good evening. And he lighted his lamp again. -But why have you just lighted it again? -Those are the orders - replied the lamplighter. -I do not understand, said the little prince. -There is nothing to understand - said the lamplighter. -Orders are orders. Good morning. And he put out his lamp. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
