This is the best picture of him which I later was able to make.īut my picture, of course, is much less fascinating than the original model. And I saw a very unusual little man who was looking at me very seriously. I jumped to my feet as if I was hit by lightning. So you can imagine my surprise, when a funny little voice woke me up in the morning. I was more isolated than a sailor on a raft in the middle of the ocean. The first night I slept on the sand a thousand miles from any land with people. I had only enough drinking water for a week. It was a question of life or death for me. To repair the plane alone was a difficult job. I didn’t have any mechanic or any passenger in the plane with me. I didn’t know anybody who I could really talk to. And the adult was happy to meet such a reasonable man. I went to his or her level and we talked about bridges, golf and politics. But the person always said, “It’s a hat.” Then I never spoke to this person about big snakes or forests or stars. I wanted to know if this person really understood life. When I met an adult who looked a little normal, I showed him or her my picture number one. This experience did not improve my opinion of them much.

It is very useful if you are lost in the night.ĭuring my life, I had a lot of contact with many serious people. I could see the difference between China and Arizona at first look. And it’s true that geography was very useful to me. And children are not happy when they have to always give them explanations. I did it because my picture number one and picture number two were not successful when adults saw them. That’s why, at the age of six, I left a great career as a painter. They told me that it was better to study geography, history, maths and grammar. The adults advised me to stop drawing snakes, from the inside or the outside.
