I wanted to know if they could come to a real understanding.

When I met one that seemed to me a little lucid, I had them experience my drawing number 1, which I had preserved. It did not really improve my opinion of them. I have had, in the course of my life, a lot of contact with many serious people. It is useful if you have gone astray during the night. I knew how to recognize, at first glance, China, or Arizona. And geography, that's right, served me well. Grown-ups never understand anything on their own, and it is tiring for children to always have to give them explanations. I had been discouraged by the failure of my first drawing and my second drawing. Thus, at the age of six, I abandoned a magnificent career as a painter. The grown-ups advised me to leave aside the drawings of boa constrictors from the outside or the inside, and to interest myself instead in geography, history, calculation, and grammar. I then drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could understand. It was a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups and asked them if my drawing frightened them. I then thought a lot about the adventures of the jungle and, in turn, succeeded, with a colored pencil, in drawing my very first drawing. Then they can not move and they sleep during the six months of their digestion. It was written in the book, Boa constrictors swallow their whole prey without chewing. It was a boa constrictor that had swallowed a wild beast. When I was six years old, I once saw a magnificent picture in a book on the virgin forest called Stories of Life. (But few of them remember it.) So I correct my dedication: If all these excuses are not enough, I will then dedicate this book to the child who became that grown-up. I have a third good excuse: this grown-up lives in France where he is hungry and cold. I have another good excuse: this grown-up can understand everything, even children's books. I have a good excuse: this grown-up is the best friend I have in the world. I apologize to the children for dedicating this book to a grown-up.
