The asteroid's most prominent features are three minuscule volcanoes (two active, and one dormant or extinct) and a variety of plants. He begins describing his tiny home planet: in effect, a house-sized asteroid known as 'B 612' on Earth. Over the course of eight days in the desert, while the narrator attempts to repair his plane, the prince recounts his life story. The prince exclaims that this was exactly the drawing he wanted. After three failed attempts at drawing a sheep, the frustrated narrator draws a simple crate, claiming the sheep is inside. The narrator first shows him the picture of the elephant inside the snake, which, to the narrator's surprise, the prince interprets correctly. The prince asks the narrator to draw a sheep. Here, he is unexpectedly greeted by a young boy nicknamed 'the little prince.' The prince has golden hair, a loveable laugh, and will repeat questions until they are answered. The narrator has an eight-day supply of water and must fix his aeroplane. The narrator becomes an aircraft pilot, and one day, his plane crashes in the Sahara, far from civilisation. The grown-ups always reply that the picture depicts a hat, and so he knows to only talk of 'reasonable' things to them, rather than the fanciful. As a test to determine if a grown-up is as enlightened as a child, he shows them a picture depicting a snake which has eaten an elephant. The narrator begins with a discussion on the nature of grown-ups and their inability to perceive 'important things'.
