Unscramble this:

I gave this task to some advanced students this morning. I'm not saying it was fair of me. I'm not saying it was good of me. Just unscramble these sentences. They are from the story 'The Little Prince," by Saint Auxpery.

1. Rightly is the only heart with one can it that see; essential is to what is eye the invisible.
(Hint: The heart sees things the eye cannot.)

2. You tamed, forever responsible, for what have you become.
(Hint: If you break it, you buy it.)

3. The time that you rose is spent so your important rose makes it have with your.
(Hint: Time IS the essence.)

1. Consiste en que no se ve bien sino con el corazón, pues lo esencial es invisible a los ojos.

2. Eres ahora responsable para siempre de cuanto has domesticado.

3. Es el tiempo que has perdido con tu rosa lo que la hace tan importante.
