the wrong one

i've been going to this bookstore a long time and only now did i notice the text on their floor tiles.

me:  'miss, what book is this on your tiles?'

customer service assistant:  'The Prince, ma'am...  Machiavelli...'

ok...  i check the floor...

hmmm...  why is it so loooong?

i read a bit...  aw!  seems too serious...  i don't remember this part of the book...

and then i see in a chapter title, The Art of War...  huh?!  that's Sun Tzu!

suddenly it dawned on me, oh, yup, she did say The Prince and Machiavelli.  i had in mind The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry.
