This is where the Fox appeared.
“Hello,” he said.
“Hello,” the Little Prince answered politely and looked back, but
I didn't see anyone.
“I’m here,” a voice was heard. - Under the apple tree...
Picture
Who are you? - asked the little prince. - How beautiful you are!
“I am the Fox,” said the Fox.
“Play with me,” asked the Little Prince. - I feel so
sad...
“I can’t play with you,” said the Fox. - I'm not tamed.
“Oh, sorry,” said the Little Prince.
But, after thinking, he asked:
- How is it to tame?
“You’re not from here,” said the Fox. - What are you looking for here?
“I’m looking for people,” said the Little Prince. - How is it to tame?
- People have guns and they go hunting. It is very uncomfortable! AND
They also raise chickens. That's the only thing they're good for. Are you looking for chickens?
Picture
No, said the Little Prince. - I am looking for friends. How is it -
tame?
“This is a long-forgotten concept,” explained the Fox. - It means:
create bonds.
- Bonds?
“That’s it,” said the Fox. - You are still just a little boy for me.
a boy just like a hundred thousand other boys. And you don't tell me

the same as a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we
We will need each other. You will be the only one for me in the whole world.
And I will be alone for you in the whole world...
“I’m beginning to understand,” said the Little Prince. - There was one
rose... she probably tamed me...
“Very possible,” agreed the Fox. - There’s nothing on Earth
It happens.
“It wasn’t on Earth,” said the Little Prince.
The fox was very surprised:
- On another planet?
- Yes.
- Are there hunters on that planet?
- No.
- How interesting! Are there any chickens?
- No.
- There is no perfection in the world! - Lis sighed.
But then he spoke about the same thing again:
- My life is boring. I hunt chickens and people hunt
by me. All chickens are the same, and all people are the same. And I live
a bit boring. But if you tame me, my life is like the sun
will be enlightened. I will begin to distinguish your steps among thousands of others. Having heard
human footsteps, I always run and hide. But your walk will call me
like music, and I will come out of my hiding place. And then - look! You see

The fox fell silent and looked at the Little Prince for a long time. Then he said:
- Please... tame me!
“I would be glad,” answered the Little Prince, “but I have so little.”
time. I still need to make friends and learn different things.
“You can only learn those things that you tame,” said the Fox. -
People no longer have enough time to learn anything. They buy things
ready in stores. But there are no stores where they sell
friends, and therefore people no longer have friends. If you want to
you were a friend, tame me!
- What should be done for this? - asked the little prince.
“We must be patient,” answered the Fox. - First, sit over there.
at a distance, on the grass - like this. I will look sideways at you, and you
keep quiet. Words only interfere with understanding each other. But sit down every day
a little closer...
The next day the Little Prince came to the same place again.
“It’s better to always come at the same hour,” the Fox asked. - Here,
for example, if you come at four o’clock, I’ll already be at three o’clock
I'll feel happy. And the closer to the appointed hour, the
happier. At four o'clock I will already begin to worry and worry. I'll find out
the price of happiness! And if you come every time at a different time, I don’t know
what time to prepare your heart... You need to observe rituals.
What are rituals? - asked the little prince.
“This is also something long forgotten,” explained the Fox. - Something like that
why does one day become different from all other days, one
hour - for all other hours. For example, my hunters have this
ritual: on Thursdays they dance with the village girls. And what kind of
wonderful day - Thursday! I go for a walk and reach the very
vineyard And if the hunters danced whenever necessary, all the days would be
would be the same and I would never know rest.
So the Little Prince tamed the Fox. And now the hour of farewell has come.
“I will cry for you,” the Fox sighed.
“It’s your own fault,” said the Little Prince. - I didn’t want to
so that it would hurt you, you yourself wanted me to tame you...
“Yes, of course,” said the Fox.
- But you will cry!
- Yes, sure.
- So this makes you feel bad.
“No,” the Fox objected, “I’m fine.” Remember what I said about
golden ears.
He fell silent. Then he added:
- Go take a look at the roses again. You will understand that your rose is
the only one in the world. And when you return to say goodbye to me, I
I'll tell you one secret. This will be my gift to you.
The little prince went to look at the roses.
“You are not at all like my rose,” he told them. - You have
nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have not tamed anyone. That's how he was
formerly my Fox. He was no different from a hundred thousand other foxes. But I
I became friends with him, and now he is the only one in the whole world.
Roses were very embarrassed.
“You are beautiful, but empty,” continued the Little Prince. - For your sake
don't want to die. Of course, a random passer-by, looking at my
rose, will say that she is exactly the same as you. But she alone is dearer to me
all of you. After all, it was her, not you, that I watered every day. Her, not you
covered with a glass cover. He blocked her with a screen, protecting her from
wind. I killed caterpillars for her, leaving only two or three so that
butterflies hatched. I listened to how she complained and how she boasted, I
listened to her even when she fell silent. She is mine.
And the Little Prince returned to the Fox.
“Goodbye...” he said.
“Goodbye,” said the Fox. - Here is my secret, it is very simple: vigilantly
just one heart. You can't see the most important thing with your eyes.
“You can’t see the most important thing with your eyes,” repeated the Little Prince,
to remember better.
- Your rose is so dear to you because you gave it your whole soul.
“Because I gave her my whole soul...” repeated the Little Prince,
to remember better.
“People have forgotten this truth,” said the Fox, “but don’t forget: you
forever responsible for everyone he tamed. You are responsible for your rose.
“I am responsible for my rose...” repeated the Little Prince so that
better remember.
Image of a Fox. The Fox (not a fox!) has long been a symbol of wisdom and knowledge of life in fairy tales. The Little Prince's conversations with this wise animal become a kind of culmination in the story, for in them the hero finally finds what he was looking for. The clarity and purity of consciousness that had been lost returns to him. The fox reveals to the baby the life of the human heart, teaches the rituals of love and friendship, which people have long forgotten and therefore lost friends and lost the ability to love. No wonder the flower says about people: “They are carried by the wind.” And the switchman is in a conversation with the main character, answering the question: where are people rushing? He notes: “The driver himself doesn’t know this.” This allegory can be interpreted as follows. People have forgotten how to look at the stars at night, admire the beauty of sunsets, and enjoy the fragrance of the Rose. They submitted to the vanity of earthly life, forgetting about the “simple truths”: the joy of communication, friendship, love and human happiness: “If you love a flower - the only one that is no longer on any of the many million-dollar stars - that’s enough: you look at the sky and you feel happy." And it is very sad for the author to say that people do not see this and turn their lives into a meaningless existence. The fox says that for him the prince is only one of thousands of other little boys, just as he is for the prince just an ordinary fox, of which there are hundreds of thousands. “But if you tame me, we will need each other. You will be the only one for me in the whole world. And I will be alone for you in the whole world... if you tame me, my life will be illuminated as if by the sun. I will begin to distinguish your steps among thousands of others...” The fox reveals to the Little Prince the secret of taming: to tame means to create bonds of love, unity of souls.
Regarding Fox, there were many disputes about prototypes and translation options. This is what translator Nora Gal writes in the article “Under the Star of Saint-Ex”: “When “The Little Prince” was published in our country for the first time, there was a heated debate in the editorial office: Is the Fox in the fairy tale or the Fox, again, feminine or masculine? Some people believed that the fox in the fairy tale was Rose's rival. Here the dispute is no longer about one word, not about a phrase, but about the understanding of the entire image. Even more, to a certain extent, about understanding the entire fairy tale: its intonation, coloring, deep inner meaning - everything changed from this “little thing”. But I am convinced: a biographical note about the role of women in the life of Saint-Exupéry does not help to understand the fairy tale and is not relevant. Not to mention that in French le renard is masculine. The main thing is that in the fairy tale the Fox is, first of all, a friend. Rose is love, Fox is friendship, and the faithful friend Fox teaches the Little Prince fidelity, teaches him to always feel responsible for his beloved and for all his loved ones.” We can add one more observation. The unusually large ears of the Fox in Exupery's drawing are most likely inspired by the small desert fennec fox - one of the many creatures tamed by the writer during his service in Morocco.
This is where the Fox appeared.
“Hello,” he said.
“Hello,” the Little Prince answered politely and looked around, but saw no one.
“I’m here,” a voice was heard. - Under the apple tree...

For you, I am just a fox, exactly the same as a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. You will be the only one for me in the whole world. And I will be alone for you in the whole world...
“I’m beginning to understand,” said the Little Prince. - There was one rose... she probably tamed me...

“It wasn’t on Earth,” said the Little Prince.

Brilliant phrases from Fox:

“Goodbye,” said the Fox. - Here is my secret, it is very simple: only the heart is vigilant. You can't see the most important thing with your eyes.
Words only interfere with understanding each other.
Don't forget: you are forever responsible for everyone you tamed...
The fox, despite the fact that he is given less than a page of text, is a very important and interesting character. I'll bring his entire conversation with the Little Prince.
“That’s where the Fox appeared.

“People have forgotten this truth,” said the Fox, “but don’t forget: you are forever responsible for everyone you tamed.” You are responsible for your rose.
“I am responsible for my rose...” the Little Prince said in order to remember better...
Why did I reprint all this from the book question. I just love this fairy tale... I read it many times, but I still can’t help but read it again, that’s how it is...
