I then thought a lot about jungle adventures and, in my turn, I managed, with a colored pencil, to draw my first picture. My drawing number 1. It looked like this:

I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups and asked them if my drawing scared them.

— How can a hat be scary?

My drawing did not represent a hat. It represented a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. So I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grown-ups could understand. They always need explanations. My drawing number 2 looked like this:

The grown-ups advised me to put aside drawings of open or closed boa constrictors and to take an interest instead in geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is how I abandoned, at the age of six, a magnificent career as a painter.

I had been discouraged by the failure of my drawing number 1 and my drawing number 2. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiring for children to always have to give them explanations.

So I had to choose another profession and I learned to fly airplanes. I flew a little all over the world. And geography, indeed, was very useful to me.
