THE LITTLE PRINCE Antoine de Saint-Exupéry CHAPTER 1 I was six years old when I spotted a magnificent picture in a book about an ancient forest. The picture showed a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing a wild beast. This is what it looked like: ![20240421030708_Xsy3QyGyeI.jpeg](//cdn2.ppomppu.co.kr/zboard/data3/2024/0421/20240421030708_Xsy3QyGyeI.jpeg)
It said in the book: ¡®A boa constrictor swallows its prey whole, without chewing it. After this, it is unable to move and sleeps through the next six months – this is needed for digestion.¡¯ I thought deeply about the experiences of the forest. Then, with care and a coloured pencil, I succeeded in making my first drawing. Drawing Number One looked like this: ![20240421030924_QuY31z3xY2.jpeg](//cdn2.ppomppu.co.kr/zboard/data3/2024/0421/20240421030924_QuY31z3xY2.jpeg)
I showed my fine work to the grown-ups, and asked if the drawing scared them. ¡®Scared? Why, it is only a hat!¡¯ But it was not a hat! It was very clearly a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But the grown-ups need explanations for everything.
