Many Americans are familiar with The Little Prince, a wonderful book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This is a whimsical and fabulous book and works as a children`s story as well as a thought-provoking adult fable. Far fewer are aware of Saint-Exupery`s other writings, novels and short stories.

Before World War II, he fought in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists. He wrote a fascinating story based on that experience entitled The Smile (Le Sourire). It is this story which I`d like to share with you now. It isn`t clear whether or not he meant this to be autobiographical or fiction. I choose to believe it to be the former.»ýÅØÁãÆ丮´Â ³ªÄ¡¿¡ ÀúÇ×ÇØ ½Î¿î ºñÇà±â Á¶Á¾¡¦(»ý·«)

"As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don`t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn`t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
