Nous sommes mardi, vingt et un

Translating Le Petit Prince
We had just got to the bit where the little boy had been asked to draw a sheep, which he had drawn.

Mais il fut refusé, comme les précédents.
Celui- là est trop veux. Je veux un mouton qui vivre longtemps.
Alors, faute de patience, comme j'avais hâte de commencer le démontage de mon moteur, je griffonnai ce dessin- ci.
Ca c'est la caisse. Le mouton que tu veux est dedans.

But it was rejected, like the previous ones : This one's too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time.
So, getting impatient as I was eager to start dismantling my engine, I hastily sketched this design  (the design was a box )

The boy then drew a box and said " the sheep you want is inside"
