　　Many Americans are familiar with The Little Prince, a wonderful book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Far fewer are aware of Saint-Exupery’s other writings, novels and short stories. Saint-Exupery was a fighter pilot who fought against the Nazis and was killed in action. Before World War Ⅱ, he fought in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists. He wrote a very interesting story based on that experience entitled The Smile.It is this story that I’d like to share with you now.
