      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.
