The mind is not limited by a confined space. Reading sets the mind free.
The book "The Little Prince" is symbolic of the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's book, Le Petit Prince. The little prince insists the narrator draws a sheep for him. "S'il vous plaît, dessine-moi un mouton." The persistence of a child's mind is inspiring.
