“I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered:”Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?” My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.” ____ The Little Prince / Saint-Exupery
