Draw Me a Sheep...

Sender: Orphalia
"Draw me a sheep"

Illustration from "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Book excerpt:-

The first night, then, I went to sleep on the sand a thousand miles from any inhabited country. I was more isolated than a man shipwrecked on a raft in the middle of the ocean. So you can imagine my surprise when I was awakened at daybreak by a funny little voice saying, "Please ... Draw me a sheep... "
"What?"
"Draw me a sheep... "
I leaped up as if I had been struck by lightning. I rubbed my eyes hard. I stared. And I saw an extraordinary little fellow staring back at me very seriously.
