In the book a boa constrictor swallows an elephant. The silhouette of the boa then becomes an elephant curve.

That doesn't actually happens in the book. The image is just creative drawing by the narrator but most people thinks of it as a hat. Only the Little Prince recognized it immediately as a elephant inside a boa constrictor.

A day's-worth of elphant-curve traffic is done not when there are no more visitors to arrive, but when there are no more visitors to leave.
I don't get it? All I see is a hat.
