"The strangest things on this planet were the forests of hollow towers that dotted the landscape. They were made of glass and ceramic, and they stood silently on every flat surface. "How strange," the Little Prince whispered. "So many empty wells.""

"Suddenly, the planet's sole inhabitant appeared. She was a giant named Amelia, with a kind smile and eyes that sparkled like the glowing rectangles she stared into."

"The Little Prince approached her. "Excuse me," he said politely. "Why do you keep so many empty wells? Are you waiting for the rain to fill them?" Amelia took off her headphones, surprised. "My what? Oh, you mean the cups? I was thirsty.""

""But what are they for now?" the Little Prince insisted. "Do you collect echoes in them? Are they homes for invisible creatures?" Amelia laughed. "No, silly. They're just... done.""

""Ah," said the Little Prince, his face serious. "On my planet, I have a rose. I am responsible for her. You have hundreds of cups. Don't they get lonely when they are empty? Don't they wish to be with their friends in the Great Waterfall?""

"Amelia blinked. She had never thought of her cups as being "lonely." She looked at the collection on her desk, the ones on the floor, the one on the windowsill. "The Great Waterfall... you mean the kitchen sink?" she asked softly."

""Precisely!" exclaimed the Little Prince. "They must be returned! It is a matter of consequence!" Inspired, Amelia stood up. "You are right, little prince! It's time for the Great Cup Migration!""

"With the Little Prince directing the operation, Amelia gathered every last cup. She marched them to the Great Waterfall and gave them a much-needed bath. Her planet felt suddenly bigger and much tidier."

"As he prepared to leave, the Little Prince said, "You have a good planet, Amelia. Remember to be responsible for your cups." Amelia smiled. "I will," she promised. And she always did, because caring for your world, no matter how small, is a matter of consequence."
