第十五章(第2页)

“地理学书籍是最严谨的书。”地理学家说道,“这类书是从不会过时。很少会发生一座山变换位置,很少会出现一个海洋干涸的现象。我们记录永恒的东西。”

“但是熄灭的火山也可能会再复苏的。”小王子打断了地理学家,“什么叫短暂?”

“火山是熄灭了的也好,苏醒的也好,这对我们这些人来讲都是一回事。”地理学家说,“对我们来说,重要的是山。山是不会变换位置的。”

“但是,‘短暂’是什么意思?”小王子再三地问道。他一旦提出一个问题是从不放过的。

“意思就是有很快就会消失的危险。”

“我的花是很快就会消失的吗?”

“那当然。”

小王子自言自语地说:“我的花是短暂的,而且她只有四根刺来对抗这个世界!可我还把她独自留在我的星球上!”

这是他第一次产生了后悔,但他又重新振作起来:“您是否能建议我下一站去什么地方看看?”小王子问道。

“地球,”地理学家回答他说,“它很出名……”

于是小王子就走了,他一边走一边想着他的花。
