Day 1 chapter1.5 名师讲解

Whenever I met one who seemed reasonably clear-sighted to me, I showed them my drawing No.1, which I had kept, as an experiment. I wanted to find out whether he or she was truly understanding. But the answer was always: ”It is a hat." So I gave up mentioning boa constrictors or primeval forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his or her level and talk about bridge, golf, politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be very pleased to have met such a sensible person.
