별짓

어제 사서 감추어가지고 온 귀걸이를 아침에 내밀었다
아이 뭘
쫑알대며 받아서 걸어보는 너의 귀가 조그만 나비처럼 예뻤다

점심때 함께 식사하고 나오며 네 신발을 가지런히 돌려주었다
아이 뭘
신을 신는 너의 두 발이 꼭 포유동물의 눈 못 뜬 새끼들처럼 귀여웠다

오후에 가게에서 소프트아이스크림을 사들고 뛰어와 너에게 주었다
아이 뭘
아이스크림을 베어 무는 너의 입술이 하늘붕어처럼 사랑스러웠다

아이 뭘...
내가 별짓을 다한다.

可是他又提了一些问题：
Nevertheless, he still had some more questions.
你怎么能占有星星呢？
How is it possible for one to own the stars?
“那么你说星星是谁的呀？”实业家不高兴地顶了小王子一句。
"To whom do they belong?" the businessman retorted, peevishly.
我不知道，不属于任何人。
I don't know. To nobody.
那么，它们就是我的，因为是我第一个想到了这件事情的。
Then they belong to me, because I was the first person to think of it.
这就行了吗？
Is that all that is necessary?
那当然。如果你发现了一颗没有主人的钻石，那么这颗钻石就是属于你的。
Certainly. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours.
当你发现一个岛是没有主的，那么这个岛就是你的。

When you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it is yours.
当你首先想出了一个办法，你就去领一个专利证，这个办法就是属于你的。
When you get an idea before any one else, you take out a patent on it: it is yours.
既然在我之前不曾有任何人想到要占有这些星星，那我就占有这些星星。
So with me:I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them."
“这倒也是。可是你用它们来干什么？”小王子说。
"Yes, that is true," said the little prince. "And what do you do with them?"
我经营管理这些星星。
"I administer them," replied the businessman.
我一遍又一遍地计算它们的数目。这是一件困难的事。
I count them and recount them. It is diffcult.
但我是一个严肃认真的人！
But I am a man who is naturally interested in matters of consequence.

Episode 20: Exploring American Made Dishes Often Mistaken for International

After a long break, we’re back—and what better way to kick things off than with a true Edmonton radio legend?

In this episode, I sit down with Terry Evans—longtime morning show host on K-97 and the voice behind the Reluctantly... podcast—for a real conversation about confidence, mistakes, and staying true to yourself when the pressure’s on.

We talk about how Terry got started in radio, some of the wild things that happen live on-air, what it really means to be confident (especially when you're nervous), and how to handle those tough, awkward conversations at work. It’s honest, funny, and packed with wisdom you’ll want to hear—especially if you’ve ever held back from speaking up because you were afraid of making a mistake.

Whether you’re learning English, trying to be more confident, or just love a good story from behind the mic—this episode is for you.
