Once when I was six years old I saw a picture in a book, 1True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor(大蟒) in the act of 2 an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing. In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey (猎物)whole, without chewing it. 3 they are not able to move, and they sleep 4 the six months that they need for digestion.”
After some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. It looked like this:

Drawing Number One.
I showed my picture to the grown-ups, and asked them 5 the drawing frightened them. 6they answered: “Frighten? Why should any one be 7 by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I 8 another drawing: I drew the 9 of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it 10 . They always need to have things explained.
My Drawing Number Two looked like this:

Drawing Number Two
Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment of 11him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to12, so, if this was a person of true understanding. But, 13 it was, he, or she, would always say: “That is a hat.”That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand 14 by themselves, and it is15 for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
