I am here to speak on behalf of the starving (挨饿的) children around the world whose cries go unheard.
I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go.
I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone (臭氧). I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals (化学制品) are in it.
I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day.
In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild ani mals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist (存在) for my children to see.
Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?
All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions (解决方案). I’m only a child and I don’t have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you!

“Who are you?” asked the little prince (王子).
“I am a fox (狐狸),” said the fox.
“Come and play with me,” said the little prince. “I am so unhappy.”
“I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I am not tamed.”
“I am looking for men,” said the little prince. “What does that mean—‘tame’?”
“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 (独一无二的) in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...” said the fox.
“I am beginning to understand,” said the little prince. “There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me...”
“My life is very monotonous (单调的),” 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 will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow (洞穴). And then look: you see the grain (谷物)-fields down there? I do 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 colour of gold. Think it will be so wonderful 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.
