Once when I was six years old, I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing. In the book it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion." I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this: I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?"
当我还只有六岁的时候,在一本描写原始森林的名叫《真实的故事》的书中, 看到了一副精彩的插画,画的是一条蟒蛇正在吞食一只大野兽。页头上就是那副画的摹本。 这本书中写道:“这些蟒蛇把它们的猎获物不加咀嚼地囫囵吞下,尔后就不 能再动弹了;它们就在长长的六个月的睡眠中消化这些食物。” 当时,我对丛林中的奇遇想得很多,于是,我也用彩色铅笔画出了我的第一 副图画。我的第一号作品。它是这样的: 我把我的这副杰作拿给大人看,我问他们我的画是不是叫他们害怕。 他们回答我说:“一顶帽子有什么可怕的?”
