Knowledge is what makes one thrive and grow, this is best done through the interaction of others. When the Little Prince and the pilot meet, the pilot had just crashed his plane in the Desert of Sahara. The Little Prince asks the pilot to draw him a sheep. Since the pilot had only drawn two drawings in his entire life (a boa constrictor from the outside and a boa constrictor from the inside), he was really confused. When the pilot drew the first sheep, the Little Prince rejected it saying the sheep was too sickly. For the second sheep the Little Prince said, "That is not a sheep. That is a ram. It has horns."

If you solve a problem early enough, it won’t become so big that it will cause a major problem in your life or the lives of …show more content…
It might not always be favorable, but usually something positive can come out of it. It might even lead to a new discovery. For example, during the Second World War, while the United States military was trying to track and locate submarines, they found the proof to Alfred Wergner's theory that the continents were once a single, large landmass called Pangea. Six years before the book ends, the pilot crashed in the Desert of Sahara where he met the Little Prince. The unsatisfactory factor was that the pilot crashed and was having a hard time trying to fix the damage. The benefit of the crash was that the pilot met the Little Prince and learned many very valuable
