By this time my patience was exhausted, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart. So I tossed off this drawing. And I threw out an explanation with it

"This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside."

5. I was very surprised (удивлён) to see a light break over the face (как свет озарил лицо: досл. свет пробился на лицо) of my young judge (юного судьи):
"That is exactly the way I wanted it (он именно такой, как я хотел: досл. это точно такой путь, как я его хотел)! Do you think (думаешь) that this sheep will have to have a great deal of grass (этому ягнёнку нужно будет большое количество травы)?"
"Why (почему)?"
"Because where I live everything is very small... (потому что, где я живу, всё очень маленькое)"
"There (там) will surely (наверняка) be enough (достаточно) grass for him," I said. "It is a very small sheep that I have given you (я нарисовал очень маленького ягнёнка: досл. это очень маленький ягнёнок, что я дал тебе)."
He bent (наклонил) his head (голову) over the drawing:
"Not so small that – Look (не такой уж и маленький – посмотри)! He has gone to sleep... (он ушёл спать)"
And that is how (и вот так) I made the acquaintance (познакомился: досл. сделал знакомство) of the little prince.
