Goethes Heidenröslein and Saint-Exupéry

A willful young boy saw an enchanting wild rose came to observe the beauty nearby said he would pick the rose to break her spell over him the rose threatened to sting him with thorns but although he was stung he broke her stem... When Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’ Little Prince had a willful rose frustrating him - he ran away then came to realize how special his unique rose to him - so he chose death stung by a serpent to return to the rose on his planet to protect her - her thorns not offering much... Why did a German Goethe have the attitude that the enchanted boy will destroy the rose of his dreams? While a French Saint-Exupéry saw a troublesome rose as intact - with a Little Prince rushing to save her?
