I do believe it's time to call forth a challenge (for no reason at all)! Without further ado, I present... The Little Prince challenge!!! In case someone hasn't read _The Little Prince_, it's about the Little Prince, who lives on his own tiny planet about the size of a house. He leaves to visit six other tiny planets and Earth. On each planet, he discovers an adult, that according to him is silly, because all they care about are their profession, money, power, alcohol, compliments, etc. Your mission, should you choose to accept, is: *Create a planet inhabited by an adult with some strange character trait that, according to you, is silly. (_The Little Prince_-esque)* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Prince has a good summary of the strange adults, if you need inspiration and don't own the book. There really aren't many guidelines, are there? I'll possibly judge sometime in the future, but I really just want to see how many great, creative ideas you guys can come up with! 2008-05-07T20:18:34Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/28491 <p> GREAT BOOK !!!<br />entering&#8230;.. now.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28491?basename=60846 2008-05-07T20:18:34Z invisibility_disability http://ficlets.com/authors/invisible_stories <p>This and <em>The Giving Tree</em> by Shel Silverstein are the two books I love giving my nieces and nephews as presents. I had fun writing my bit on this one.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28491?basename=58522 2008-04-25T02:41:24Z BARomero http://ficlets.com/authors/baromero <p>I haven&#8217;t read it, only seen that movie version from way back. I know my brother really likes the book though, and he has pretty good taste. Most of the time. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s right in this instance though.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28491?basename=58482 2008-04-24T23:50:57Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>OK, I just entered. My entry is incredibly silly, I&#8217;m almost embarrassed by it.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28491?basename=58473 2008-04-24T22:49:54Z Ana Cristina http://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78 <p>Awesome challenge! That is one of my favorite books, which (shamefully) I&#8217;d forgotten about until you posted the challenge. I will definitely be entering. :-)<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28491?basename=58466 2008-04-24T22:18:40Z Ana Cristina http://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78 <p>And just as a side comment, everyone should read <em>The Little Prince</em>. It&#8217;s a great story, and it really makes you think about yourself and humanity.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28491?basename=58465 2008-04-24T22:18:38Z OrangeOreos http://ficlets.com/authors/orangeoreos
