中文翻译
我向小王子指出，猴面包树并不是小灌木，恰恰相反，它们是像城堡一样高大的树木；即使他带上一整群大象，这群大象也吃不掉一棵猴面包树。
象群的想法让小王子笑了起来。
“我们得把它们一个叠在另一个上面，”他说道。
但他发表了一个明智的评论：“在它们长得如此巨大之前，猴面包树也是从小树苗开始的。”
"那完全正确，"我说道。
“但为什么你希望绵羊吃掉小猴面包树呢？”
他立刻回答我：“哦，得了，得了！”，仿佛他在说一件不言而喻的事情。
我不得不付出巨大的脑力努力来解决这个问题，没有任何帮助。
确实，正如我所了解到的，在小王子居住的星球上——就像在所有星球上一样——有好植物和坏植物。
因此，好植物结好种子，坏植物结坏种子。
