The story begins with a narrator, an aviator who crashes in the Sahara Desert and encounters the little prince. Through their conversations, the prince reveals his journey from planet to planet, each inhabited by various bizarre characters, symbolizing different aspects of human nature and society's flaws.
The narrative emphasizes the importance of looking beyond the superficial to find what truly matters in life, encapsulated in the famous line, "What is essential is invisible to the eye." The prince learns valuable lessons about love, friendship, and the perils of growing up. His bond with a rose he left behind illustrates the theme of responsibility and the depth of relationships.
