What is The Prince about? A one-liner without giving away the story, pretty please?
Hi JOJO!
I am glad many of you brought the book up. It is really a very sweet book. Do try and read it if you can.

'Though ostensibly a children's book, The Little Prince makes several profound and idealistic observations about life and human nature. For example, Saint-Exupry tells of afox meeting the young prince during his travels on Earth. The story's essence is contained in the lines uttered by the fox to the little prince: On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. ("One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye.")[12] Other key thematic messages are articulated by The Fox, such as: Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivois. ("You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.") and C'est le temps que tu as perdu pour ta rose qui fait ta rose si importante. ("It is the time you have lost for your rose that makes your rose so important.") The Fox's messages are arguably the most famous because of their nature of dealing with relationships.'
There are so many beautiful lines to be quoted from this very small book.
Sample this:
'"The proof that the little prince existed is that he was charming, that he laughed, and that he was looking for a sheep. If anybody wants a sheep, that is a proof that he exists."
The story as such has no relation to AsYa. But the thoughts expressed are so beautiful and apt for EVERY PERFECT LOVE STORY!
