the Little Prince by unsure, they said, is you Perry. Narrated by Englishmen Kyla. Once, when I was six years old, I saw a magnificent picture in a book called True Storeys From Nature about the removal force. 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. After that, they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion. Pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the junk end of the same work, which a college pencil I succeeded in making my first job, my during number one. It looked something like, I showed my meister masterpiece to the grownups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they aren't said frightened. Why should anyone be frightened by a half? My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a book of stricter digesting it. But since you're grownups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of a boa constrictor so that the grown ups get surgically, always need to have things, explained. My German number two looked like the grownups response this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of birth constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and Graham. 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 in my drawing Number two Grownups never understand anything by yourself, and it is tiresome for Children to be always and forever explaining stink. So then I chose another profession and learned to pilot aeroplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world, and it is true that geography has been very useful to me at a glance. I can distinguish China from Arizona if one gets lost. Such knowledge is value. In the course of this life, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of concert. I have lived a great deal among grown up. I have seen them intimately close it and that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of one of them who seemed to me or clear sighted, I tried the experiment of showing him my drawing number, which I have always kept. I was trying to find out, so this was a person of to understand. But whoever it was, he or she would always say, that is A that I would never talk to that person about four constrictors. Forward stop. I would bring myself down to his left. I will talk to him about bridge and golf in politics and neckties, and the grown up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
