It's a reference to Antoine de Saint-Exupéryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Saint-Exup%C3%A9ry's *The Little Prince* (French https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language: *Le Petit Prince). * http://www.amazon.com/The-Little-Prince-Antoine-Saint-Exup%C3%A9ry/dp/0156012197 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Prince First published in 1943, is a novellahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novellaand the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Saint-Exup%C3%A9ry(1900–1944). The novella is both the most read and most translated book in the French language, and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects (including braille), selling over a million copies per year with sales totalling more than 140 million copies worldwide, it has become one of the best-selling bookshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_booksever published. Saint-Exupéry, a laureate of several of France's highest literary awards and a reserve military pilot at the start of the Second World Warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World_War, wrote and illustrated the manuscript while exiled in the United States after the Fall of France https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_France. He had travelled there on a personal mission to persuade its government to quickly enter the war against Nazi Germanyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany. In the midst of personal upheavals and failing health he produced almost half of the writings he would be remembered for, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love and loss, in the form of a young prince fallen to Earth. An earlier memoir by the author recounted his aviation experiences in the Sahara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara desert and he is thought to have drawn on those same experiences for use as plot elements in *The Little Prince*. Since first being published the novella has been adapted to various media over the decades, including audio recordingshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_recording, stage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre, screenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_theater, ballet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet, and operatichttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operaworks.

Re: [MBZ] System rebooted and back online
His little planet/asteroid /home has volcanos that has to be kept clean, or they will erupt, causing a mess. He also has to keep pulling up the baobab trees/weeds. Found the book - On the morning of his departure he put his planet in perfect order. He carefully cleaned out his active volcanoes. He possessed two active volcanoes; and they were very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning. He also had one volcano that was extinct. But, as he said, One never knows! So he cleaned out the extinct volcano, too. If they are well cleaned out, volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions. Volcano eruptions are like fires in a chimney. Another quote that is well known: It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important. snip Men have forgotten this truth, said the fox. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose . . .
