Chapter 23

    "Godd morning," said the little prince.

     "Good morning," siad the merchant.

    This was a merchant who sold pills that had been inverned to quench thisrt.  You need only  swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need of anything to drink.

     "Why are you seeling those?" asked the little prince.

     "Becuase they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant.  "Computations have been made by experts.  With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week."

     "And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?"

     "Anything you like......"

     "As for me," said the little prince to himself,"If I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of frest water."
