THE LITTLE PRINCE "Le Petit Prince"  d'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (French Hero and Writer) CHAPTER ONE

The Dunce

He says no with his head
but he says yes with his heart
he says yes to what be loves
he says no to the teacher
he stands
he is questioned
and all the problems are posed
sudden mad laughter seizes him
and he erases all
the words and figures
names and dates
sentences and snares
and despite the teacher’s threats
to the jeers of infant prodigies
with chalk of every color
on the blackboard of misfortune
he draws the face of happiness

Translation: Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Carl’s second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement”.

Carl’s third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes.

His fourth book, Bolder: How To Age Better And Feel Better About Ageing, is a spirited manifesto against ageism.

秋（あき）と言（い）えば・・・

皆（みな）さんは春夏秋冬（しゅんかしゅうとう）、どの季節（きせつ）が好（す）きですか？
私は夏（なつ）が１番（いちばん）好きで、２番目（にばんめ）に好きなのが秋です。
ここ数年（すうねん）、秋を感（かん）じられることが少（すく）なかったですが、今年（ことし）はちょうどよい気温（きおん）が続（つづ）いており、秋を長（なが）く感じられます。

秋は過（す）ごしやすい気温なので、「〇〇（まるまる）の秋」という言葉（ことば）をよく耳（みみ）にします。
「紅葉（こうよう）の秋」、「食欲（しょくよく）の秋」、「スポーツの秋」など秋になると、暑（あつ）すぎる夏にはできなかったことをしたくなる日本人（にほんじん）の国民性（こくみんせい）があるようです。私は今年「読書（どくしょ）の秋」にしました。最近（さいきん）アニメ「キングダム」や中国（ちゅうごく）の時代劇（じだいげき）を見（み）るのにハマっているので、中国の歴史（れきし）の本（ほん）を読（よ）んでいます。今年の秋は充実（じゅうじつ）しています。

あなたはどんな「秋」にしたいですか？
