The Little Prince by Anton de Saint -Exupery Chapter 21 The Little Prince Befriends the Fox

It was then that the fox appeared.

Good morning, said the fox.

Good morning, the little prince responded politely.

Although when he turned around, he saw nothing.

I am right here, the voice said, under the apple tree.

Who are you?

asked the little prince and added, You are very pretty to look at.

I am a fox, said the fox.

Come and play with me, proposed the little prince.

I am so unhappy.

I cannot play with you, the fox said.

I am not tamed.

Ah, please excuse me, said the little prince.

But after some thought, he added, What does that mean?

Tame.

You do not live here, said the fox.

What is it that you are looking for?

I am looking for men, said the little prince.

What does that mean?

Tame.

Men, said the fox.

They have guns and they hunt.

It is very disturbing.

They also raise chickens.

These are their only interests.

Are you looking for chickens?

No, said the little prince.

I am looking for friends.

What does that mean?

Tame.

It is an act too often neglected, said the fox.

It means to establish ties.

To establish ties?

Just that, said the fox.

To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys, and I have no need of you, and you, on your part,

have no need of me.

To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes, but if you tame me, then we shall need each other.

To me, you will be unique in all the world.

To you, I shall be unique in all the world.

I'm beginning to understand, said the little prince.

There is a flower.

I think that she has tamed me.

It is possible, said the fox.

On the earth, one sees all sorts of things.

Oh, but this is not on the earth, said the little prince.

The fox seemed perplexed and very curious. On another planet?

Yes.

Are there hunters on this planet?

No. No?

Ah, that is interesting.

Are there chickens?

No. Nothing is perfect, sighed the fox.

But he came back to his idea.

My life is very monotonous, the fox said.

I hunt chickens, men hunt me.

All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike.

And in consequence, I am a little bored.

But if you tame me, it'll be as if the sun came to shine on my life.

I shall know the sound of a step that'll be different from all the others.

Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground.

Yours will call me like music out of my barrow.

And then look, you see the grain fields down yonder?

I did not eat bread.

Wheat is of no use to me.

The wheat fields have nothing to say to me.

And that is sad.

But you have hair that is the color of gold Think of how wonderful that'll be

when you have tamed me The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat

The fox gazed at the little prince for a long time Please, tame me, he said I want to,

very much, the little prince replied

But I have not much time I have friends to discover

and a great many things to understand." One only understands the things that one tames, said the fox.

Men have no more time to understand anything.

They buy things already made at the shops, but there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends anymore.

If you want a friend, tame me." What must I do to tame you?

asked the little prince.

You must be very patient, replied the fox.

First, you will sit down at a little distance from me, like that, in the grass.

I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing.

Words are the source of misunderstandings, but you will sit - a little closer to me every day.

The next day, the little prince came back.

It would have been better to come back at the same hour, said the fox.

If, for example, you come at four o 'clock in the afternoon, then at three o 'clock I shall begin to be happy.

I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances.

At four o 'clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about.

I shall show you how happy I am.

But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to

be ready to greet you One must observe the proper rites What is a rite? asked the little prince

Those also are actions too often neglected, said the fox They are what make one day different from the others,

one hour from other hours There is a rite,

for example, among my hunters Every Thursday they dance with the village girls So Thursday is a wonderful day for me.

I can take a walk as far as the vineyards But

if the hunters danced at just any time Every day would be like every other day, and I should never have any vacation at all

So the little prince tamed the fox and when the hour of his departure grew near Ah,

said the fox, I shall cry It is your own fault, said the little prince.

I never wished you any sort of harm, but you wanted me to tame you.

Yes, that is so, said the fox.

But now you are going to cry, said the little prince.

100

Yes, that is so, said the fox.

101

Then it has done you no good at all.

102

It has done me good, said the fox, because of the color of the wheat fields.

103

And then he added, Go and look again at the roses.

104

You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world.

105

And the roses were very much embarrassed.

106

You are beautiful, but you are empty, he went on.

107

One could not die for you.

108

To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you, the rose that belongs to me.

109

But in herself alone, she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses

110

Because it is she that I have watered Because it is she

111

that I have put under the glass globe Because it is she

112

that I have sheltered behind this screen Because it is for her

113

that I have killed the caterpillars Except the two or three

114

that we saved to become butterflies Because it is she

115

that I have listened to when she grumbled or boasted

116

or even sometimes when she said nothing because she is my rose

117

and he went back to meet the fox

118

goodbye he said goodbye said the fox

119

and now here is my secret a very simple secret it is only with the heart

120

that one can see rightly what is essential is invisible to the eye What is essential is invisible to the eye,

121

the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

122

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

123

It is the time I have wasted for my rose, said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.

124

Men have forgotten this truth, said the fox, but you must not forget it.

125

You become responsible forever for what you have tamed.

126

You are responsible for your rose.

127

I am responsible for my rose, the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:

Cấu trúc	Trong video
Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại	has tamed · have tamed · has done
Tương lai với “will” will + động từ — quyết định, lời hứa hoặc dự đoán	will be · it'll be · that'll be
Thì hiện tại tiếp diễn am/is/are + -ing — việc đang diễn ra lúc nói hoặc quanh thời điểm này	are looking · am looking · I'm beginning
Bắt buộc: must / have to / need to nói rằng một việc là cần thiết	must I · must observe · must not

Phát âm cần chú ý

Người nói dùng 4 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ that'll, I'm, it'll. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.

Âm “sh” và “zh”: shine /ʃaɪn/, shelter /ˈʃɛltə/
Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: invisible /ɪnˈvɪzəb(ə)l/, caterpillar /ˈkætɚˌpɪlɚ/, monotonous /məˈnɑtənəs/, misunderstanding /ˌmɪsʌndɚˈstændɪŋ/

Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:

Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: neglect /nɪˈɡlɛkt/, perplexed /pɚˈplɛkst/, boast /boʊst/, embarrassed /ɪmˈbæɹ.əst/, consequence /ˈkɑn.sɪ.kwəns/
Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: barrow /ˈbæɹoʊ/, caterpillar /ˈkætɚˌpɪlɚ/, misunderstanding /ˌmɪsʌndɚˈstændɪŋ/, embarrassed /ɪmˈbæɹ.əst/, unhappy /ʌnˈhæpi/
Phụ âm cuối — bật rõ âm cuối của từ: wheat /ˈwiːt/, neglect /nɪˈɡlɛkt/, alike /əˈlaɪk/, monotonous /məˈnɑtənəs/, perplexed /pɚˈplɛkst/

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
