Le Petit Prince

My first story book.

That's right.  In French.

It was given to me by an old lady from a second hand book store.  We couldn't afford much back in those days, not even TV and, internet was not the norm then, so library is like heaven on earth to me... all these books, all free to borrow.

But being able to own a book.

I spent hours looking up the words, the meaning of the story.  It was my story. 

Now I have it in English and Chinese and I know, I don't need to be like the grown-ups.
