English translation:
When I was six years old, I saw a wonderful picture in a book called "True Stories", which showed the primeval forests. In this picture there was a huge snake – a boa – that swallowed a wild beast. It was very impressive.
The book said: "The snake can swallow its prey whole. Then it can no longer move and sleeps for six months."
At that time, I drew a lot of pictures with colored pencils for the adults in the primeval forests. I drew my first picture. It was picture number 1.
