老人微笑着说："好吧，你真的认为你的旅行什么收获都没有吗？
While you were traveling around, you learned many things about how other people live, didn't you?"
仔细想一下。当你四处旅行的时候，你看到其他人是怎么生活的，不是吗？
The prince thought to himself for a while and said, "Ah, now I understand. You mean that true happiness is up to yourself."

Keep it carefully from now on. Then, you'll never be unhappy with whatever comes your way."
从现在开始要细心呵护、珍惜。那么，不幸永远不会降临到你身上。"
