The color of the wheat fields

Ainsi le petit prince apprivoisa le renard. Et quand l'heure du dé.part fut proche :
- Ah! - dit le renard… - je preurerai.
- C'est ta faute - dit le petit prince - je ne te souhaitais point de mal, mais tu as voulu que je t'apprivoise…
- Bien sûr - dit le renard.
- Mais tu vas pleurer! - dit le petit prince.
- Bien sûr - dit le renard.
- Alors tu n'y gagnes rien!
- J'y gagne - dit le renard - à cause de la couleur du blé.

So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near:
- Ah - said the fox - I shall cry
- It is your own fault - said the little prince - I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you..."
- Yes, that is so - said the fox.
- But now you are going to cry! - said the little prince.
- Yes, that is so - said the fox.
- Then it has done you no good at all...
- It has done me good - said the fox - because of the color of the wheat fields."
