My Little Prince / 我的小王子

週末深夜進家門時，有股細細小小的聲音喊著：汪達姨，小王子從門邊探出頭來，他很嚴肅地說，我有事情要問妳。小王子拿出我們前幾個星期前的塗鴉，他指著有三個人的那輛車，問：妳記得這是誰嗎？我思索了一下回答：這是阿嬤和小阿姨，開車的是阿竣舅舅。小王子恍然大悟地點點頭，「我也是麼想。」我說：「很晚了，只有你一個人不睡覺呢！」他說：「我等你回來問你這個問題，現在我可以去睡覺了。」小王子把車排好之後，很安心地就寢去了。

When I tiptoed home late on a weekend night, a tiny soft sound greeted me, “Auntie Wanda!” The Little Prince stuck his head out of the door. He looked at me with a pensive face, “I have a question for you.” He whizzed into the living room and came to me with a doodle we had done together a few weeks earlier. He pointed at the car with three people in it. “Do you remember who they are?” I searched for the answer in my memory, “The passengers are Granny and Little Auntie. The driver is Uncle Jun.” My reply took off the weight on his mind. “That’s what I thought.” Seeing him all alone, I couldn’t help asking, “It’s late. How come you aren’t in bed?” He said, “I was waiting for you to ask you the question. Now I have the answer. I can go to sleep.” Lining his cars on the table, he walked into the dark to his sweet bed.

我的小王子有著又成熟又童稚的靈魂，我不知道將來的他會變成甚麼樣，但是我希望可以用圖畫留住他為小問題認真苦惱的那刻。

My Little Prince has a mature and childlike soul. I have no clue what he’ll turn out to be in the future, but I want more than anything to keep the moment when he took a small problem seriously, which so moved me.
