"Come and play with me," proposed the little prince.
"I cannot play with you," the fox said, "I am not tamed."
"What does that mean, tame?"
"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties... if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you shall be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world... One only understands the things that one tames... If you want a friend, tame me..."
"What must I do to tame you?" asked the little prince.
"You must be patient," replied the fox. "First you will sit down at a little distance from me--like that--in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you must sit a little closer to me, every day... {and you must} come back at the same hour. ...if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you.... One must observe the proper rites."
So the prince tamed the fox.... [It was then that the fox shared a secret with the little prince].
"And now here is my secret, {said the fox} a very simple secret: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye."
