  To those who understand life, that would have given a much greater air of truth to my story.

  For I do not want anyone to read my book carelessly.

  I have suffered too much grief in setting down these memories.

  Six years have already passed since my friend went away from me, with his sheep.

  If I try to describe him here, it is to make sure that I shall not forget him.  To forget a friend is sad. Not everyone has had a friend.
  And if I forget him, I may become like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures. . .

  It is for that purpose, again, that I have bought a box of paints and some pencils. It is hard to take up drawing again at my age, when I have never made any pictures except those of boa constrictor from the outside  and the boa constrictor from the inside, since I was six.
