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(杰作) to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened(使害怕) them.
But they answered: “Frighten(害怕)? Why should anyone be frightened(害怕) by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat.
It was a picture of a boa constrictor(巨蟒) digesting(消化) an elephant.
But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it,
I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor(巨蟒), so that the grown-ups could see it clearly.
They always need to have things explained.
