"Summary" The little prince goes to another asteroid, where he encounters a conceited man who believes that the little prince is his admirer. He instructs the little prince to clap his hands together in applause and, in response, raises his hat in salute. The little prince grows bored with this game after five minutes, and the conceited man asks him if he really admires him very much. He explains that to admire someone means that you regard him as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on the planet.
