"On the fifth day, thanks again to the sheep, another secret of the little prince's life was revealed to me.
Abruptly, with no preamble, he asked me, as if it were the fruit of a problem long pondered in silence: 'If a sheep eats bushes, does it eat flowers, too?'"

What does the pronoun 'it' refer to?
I guess "his question that he's about to say", it is right?
