LEON WERTH
I ask the
indulgence
of the children
who may read this book for
dedicating
it
to a grown-up. I have a
serious
reason: he is
the best friend I have in the world. I have another reason: this grown-up understands everything, even books about children. I have a third reason: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs cheering up. If all these reasons are not enough, I will dedicate
the book to the child from whom this grown-up grew. All grown-ups were once children—
although few of them remember it. And
so I correct my
dedication

TO LEON WERTH
WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY
Chapter 1
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

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?”
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 made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:
The grown-ups’ response, this time, was to advise me to
lay aside
my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and
devote
myself instead to
geography
, history,
arithmetic
and grammar. 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 Drawi ............
