原来，在小王子的星球上就象其他所有星球上一样，有好草和坏草；
Indeed, as I learned, there were on the planet where the little prince lived–as on all planets–good plants and bad plants.
因此，也就有益草的草籽和毒草的草籽，
In consequence, there were good seeds from good plants, and bad seeds from bad plants.
可是草籽是看不见的。
But seeds are invisible.
它们沉睡在泥土里，直到其中的一粒忽然想要苏醒过来
They sleep deep in the heart of the earth's darkness, until some one among them is seized with the desire to awaken.
于是它就伸展开身子，开始腼腆地朝着太阳长出一棵秀丽可爱的小嫩苗。
Then this little seed will stretch itself and begin– timidly at first–to push a charming little sprig inoffensively upward toward the sun.
如果是小萝卜或是玫瑰的嫩苗，就让它去自由地生长。
If it is only a sprout of radish or the sprig of a rose-bush, one would let it grow wherever it might wish.
如果是一棵坏苗，一旦被辨认出来，就应该马上把它拔掉。
But when it is a bad plant, one must destroy it as soon as possible, the very first instant that one recognizes it.
因为在小王子的星球上，有些非常可怕的种子
Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince;
这就是猴面包树的种子。
and these were the seeds of the baobab.
在那里的泥土里，这种种子多得成灾。
The soil of that planet was infested with them.
而一棵猴面包树苗，假如你拔得太迟，就再也无法把它清除掉。
A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet.
它就会盘踞整个星球。
It bores clear through it with its roots.
它的树根能把星球钻透，如果星球很小，而猴面包树很多，它就把整个星球搞得支离破碎。
And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces.
“这是个纪律问题。”小王子后来向我解释道。
"It is a question of discipline," the little prince said to me later on.
当你早上梳洗完毕以后，必须仔细地给星球梳洗，
"When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care.
必须规定自己按时去拔掉猴面包树苗。
You must see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs,
这种树苗小的时候与玫瑰苗差不多，一旦可以把它们区别开的时候，就要把它拔掉。
at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their earliest youth.
“这是一件非常乏味的工作”，小王子说，“但很容易。”

Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht
Jedes deutsche Kind kennt das BRETTSPIEL ‚Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht‘. Und tatsächlich ist das ein guter Rat: Ein Mensch sollte sich nicht ärgern, wenn seine Spielfigur kurz vor dem Ziel von einem anderen Spieler vom Spielbrett geworfen wird. Man kann nicht strategisch spielen, der ERFOLG hängt nur vom Glück ab. Jeder der maximal vier Spieler versucht, mit dem WÜRFEL auf möglichst hohe Punktzahlen zu kommen. Entsprechend dieser Punkte bewegt man seine vier Spielfiguren rund um das Spielbrett und dann in das eigene ‚Haus‘, das heißt in das ZIEL. Wer zuerst ein volles Haus hat, ist der Sieger.
Besonders SPANNEND und lustig wird es, wenn ein ERFOLGREICHER Spieler kurz vor dem Ziel wieder von vorn beginnen muss. Wenn man es dann schafft, SICH nicht zu ÄRGERN, gibt es viel Spaß bei allen, die dabei sind. 
Und Spaß scheint es zu machen, denn das Spiel existiert schon seit 1914 und sollte sogar den Soldaten im Ersten Weltkrieg die ZEIT VERTREIBEN. Es wurde inzwischen 70 Millionen mal verkauft, es hat NACHAHMER im Ausland gefunden und es gibt auch eine TURNIER-Szene. Seit 2010 kann man sogar WELTMEISTER im ‚Sich Nicht Ärgern’ werden.

Greenland's prime minister has said that the people of the mineral-rich Arctic territory don't want to be Americans.

However, he understands the US President-elect Donald Trump's interest in the island given its strategic location, and he's open to greater cooperation with Washington.

The comments from the Greenlandic leader, Múte B. Egede, came after Trump said that he wouldn't rule out using force or economic pressure in order to make Greenland — a semiautonomous territory of Denmark — a part of the US.

Trump said that it was a matter of national security for the US.

Egede acknowledged that Greenland is part of the North American continent, and "a place that the Americans see as part of their world." He said he hasn't spoken to Trump, but that he's open to discussions about what "unites us."

"Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions," he said.

Egede has been calling for independence for Greenland, presenting Denmark as a colonial power that hasn't always treated the Indigenous Inuit population well.

"Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic," he said.

Trump's desire for Greenland has caused anxiety across Europe. The US is a strong ally of the European Union, and many Europeans were shocked by the suggestion that an incoming US leader could even consider using force against an ally.

Greenland has a population of 57,000. But it is a vast territory possessing natural resources that include oil, gas, and rare earth elements, which are expected to become more accessible as ice melts because of climate change.

It also has a key strategic location in the Arctic, where Russia, China and others are seeking to expand their interests.

Greenland, the world's largest island, lies closer to the North American mainland than to Denmark.
