So
I
have
met
,
in
the
course
of
my
life
,
lots
of
serious
people
.
I
have
spent
lots
of
time
with
grownups
.
I
have
seen
them
at
close
range
...
which
has
n't
improved
my
opinion
of
them
.
12
Whenever
I
encountered
a
grown-up
who
seemed
to
be
intelligent
,
I
would
experiment
on
him
with
my
drawing
Number
One
,
which
I
have
always
kept
.
I
wanted
to
see
if
he
really
understood
anything
.
13
But
he
would
always
answer
,
"
That
's
a
hat
.
"
Then
I
would
n't
talk
about
boa
constrictors
or
jungles
or
stars
.
I
would
put
myself
on
his
level
and
talk
about
bridge
and
golf
and
politics
and
neckties
.
And
my
grown-up
was
glad
to
know
such
a
reasonable
person
.

So
I
lived
all
alone
,
without
anyone
I
could
really
talk
to
,
until
I
had
to
make
a
crash
landing
in
the
Sahara
Desert
six
years
ago
.
Something
in
my
plane
's
engine
had
broken
.
Since
I
had
neither
a
mechanic
nor
passengers
in
the
plane
with
me
,
I
was
preparing
to
undertake
the
difficult
repair
job
by
myself
.
For
me
it
was
a
matter
of
life
or
death
:
I
had
only
enough
drinking
water
for
eight
days
.
15
The
first
night
,
then
,
I
went
to
sleep
on
the
sand
a
thousand
miles
from
any
inhabited
country
.
I
was
more
isolated
than
a
man
shipwrecked
on
a
raft
in
the
middle
of
the
ocean
.
So
you
can
imagine
my
surprise
when
I
was
awakened
at
daybreak
by
a
funny
little
voice
saying
,
"
Please
...
"
draw
me
a
sheep
...
16
"
What
?
"
17
"
Draw
me
a
sheep
...

I
leaped
up
as
if
I
had
been
struck
by
lightning
.
I
rubbed
my
eyes
hard
.
I
stared
.
And
I
saw
an
extraordinary
little
fellow
staring
back
at
me
very
seriously
.
Here
is
the
best
portrait
1
managed
to
make
of
him
,
later
on
.
19
But
of
course
my
drawing
is
much
less
attractive
than
my
model
.
This
is
not
my
fault
.
My
career
as
a
painter
was
discouraged
at
the
age
of
six
by
the
grown-ups
,
and
I
had
never
learned
to
draw
anything
except
boa
constrictors
,
outside
and
inside
.
20
So
I
stared
wide-eyed
at
this
apparition
.
Do
n't
forget
that
I
was
a
thousand
miles
from
any
inhabited
territory
.
Yet
this
little
fellow
seemed
to
be
neither
lost
nor
dying
of
exhaustion
,
hunger
,
or
thirst
;
nor
did
he
seem
scared
to
death
.
There
was
nothing
in
his
appearance
that
suggested
a
child
lost
in
the
middle
of
the
desert
a
thousand
miles
from
any
inhabited
territory
.
