THE OLDEST PICTURES IN THE WORLD
古老的畫
I WAS listening to the teacher， but I had my pencil in my hand. There were two little dots about an inch apart on my desk lid. Absent-mindedly I twisted my pencil point into one dot and then into the other. The two dots became two little eyes. I drew a circle around each eye， then I joined the two circles with a half-circle that made a pair of spectacles.
The next day I made a nose and a mouth to go with the eye and spectacles.
The next day I finished the face and added ears and some hair.
The next day I added a hat.
The next day I added a body， with arms， legs， and feet.
The next day I went over the drawing again， bearing heavily on my pencil. Over and over again I followed the lines till they became deep grooves in my desk lid.
The next day my teacher caught me and I caught it！
The next day my father got a bill for a new desk and I got- Well， never mind what I got.
“Perhaps he's going to be an artist，” said my mother.
“Heaven forbid！” said my father. “That would cost me much more than a new desk.”
And heaven did forbid.
I know of a school that has a large wooden tablet in the hall for its pupils to draw upon. At the top of the tablet is printed：
IF YOU JUST MUST DRAW， DON'T DRAW ON YOUR DESK，
DRAW ON THIS TABLET.
If you put a pencil in any one's hand， he just must draw something. Whether he is listening to a lesson or telephoning， he draws circles and faces or triangles and squares over the pad-if there is a pad. Otherwise he draws on the desk top or the wall， for he just must draw something. Have you ever seen any telephone pad that was not scribbled upon？ We say that's human nature. It shows you are a human being.
Now， animals can learn to do a good many things that human beings can do， but one thing an animal can't learn is to draw. Dogs can learn to walk on two legs and fetch the newspaper. Bears can learn to dance. Horses can learn to count. Monkeys can learn to drink out of a cup. Parrots can learn to speak. But human beings are the only animals that can learn to draw.
