It must have happened when I was very young and I must not have paid any attention to what book it was. It never occurred to me whenever someone asked me if I've read The Little Prince that I, in fact, have. My answer was always a certain NO.
But I saw this photo and it wasn't really the photo but the words (or the idea of it) because hanging about somewhere in my head, never forgotten, has been the thought of a boa constrictor and an elephant. I don't know why but even though I never consciously considered it, I never forgot that part.
I suppose it’s time to read The Little Prince again (and remember it this time).
