“It’s very lonely among people as well”, the snake told.
It is very simple: you may see the truth only with your heart. Everything that is important can’t be seen.”
I showed what was inside the boa constrictor so the adults were able to see it clearly. They always need everything explaining
If someone loves the flower that exists in a single sample in millions of stars, it’s enough for him to look at stars and be happy. He can say to himself. “My flower is somewhere there…” But if a lamb eats the flower, all the stars will instantly fade. Do you think it’s not important?
but that doesn’t help much!”

“What do you do with five hundred thousand of stars?”
“Five hundred million six hundred and twenty-two thousand seven hundred and one. I am busy with very important stuff. I am very accurate.”
“What do you do with these stars?”
“What do I do with them?”
“Yes.”
“Nothing. I possess them.”
“Do you possess the stars?
“I do.”
“But I have met a king that…”
“Kings don’t possess, they rein. It’s completely different”
“Why are you possessing them?”
“Due to them I am becoming richer.”
“Why do you need to be rich?”
“To buy more stars if they are discovered.”

You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. Sometimes, you will open windows to enjoy the laugh, and your friends will be at a loss when they see that you laugh while looking at the stars”. And you will say to them, “Yes, I always laugh when I look at the stars…” and they will think that you are crazy. It will be a very snide trick that I performed on you.
