The king – asteroid B 325In the boo

The king – asteroid B 325In the book, the Little Prince meets a king who claims to rule over all with absolute power. His only "subject", however, is an old rat that he hears at night. The king exercises his power over the sun by ordering it to set – but only at sunset. In order not to lose face, this oddity of a king gives only "reasonable" orders ("I order you to sit down") – as good a way as any to satisfy his thirst for power. The Little Prince is not fooled, however, and sees the monarch as no more than another odd grown-up.
