I was not hurt, but I could not start the plane again. I was aloneadj.单独的 in the desertnoun.沙漠, and I did not have much water. I had to work on the plane quickly. At night, I slept on the sand. Then, the next morning, I was very surprisedadj.感到惊讶的. I wokeverb.醒来 up and I heard a voice. "Draw me a sheep, please," the voice said. "What?" I said. "I want you to draw me a sheep," said the voice. I opened my eyes and I jumped up.
A boy with goldenadj.金色的 hair stood next to me. I was very surprisedadj.感到惊讶的 to see him, because we were in the middle of a desertnoun.沙漠 in Africa. We were aloneadj.单独的 in a desertnoun.沙漠, but he did not look frightenedadj.害怕的. This is my picture of the boy. It is not very good. I never learned to draw very well. "What are you doing here?" I said. It was difficultadj.困难的 to speak, because I was surprisedadj.感到惊讶的. He laughed quietlyadv.安静地, but he did not answer me.
He said again, "Please, draw me a sheep." "I'm good at lotsnoun.许多 of things, but I'm not very good at drawing," I said. "It doesn't matterverb.有关系," he said slowlyadv.缓慢地. "You can draw me a sheep." "I can't draw sheep," I said. "But I can draw this." I drew him my picture number one, the drawingnoun.图画 of the snake with the wholeadj.完整的 elephant inside it. "No, no, I don't want a picture of an elephant inside a snake," he said. "At home, everything is very small, and elephants are too big. I need a sheep."
Then he said again, "Draw me a sheep." Again, I was very surprisedadj.感到惊讶的, and I drew a sheep. He looked at it, then he said, "No, this sheep doesn't look very well. Tryverb.尝试 again." I drew a second sheep. The boy looked at it and he smiledverb.微笑. "This isn't a sheep," he said. "This is a ramnoun.公羊. I can see the hornsnoun.(牛、羊等的)角 on its head. Tryverb.尝试 again." I drew the sheep again, and I did not put any hornsnoun.(牛、羊等的)角 on its head.
But he did not like that drawingnoun.图画, because the sheep looked too old. "I want a young sheep," he said. "I want the sheep to live for a long time." I did not want to draw another picture, because I wanted to work on my plane. Then I thought hard, and I drew this picture very quickly. "The sheep lives in the box," I said to him. He looked closelyadv.紧密地 at the picture. Then I was surprisedadj.感到惊讶的, because he laughed.
"This is very good," he said. "Will the sheep eat a lotnoun.许多 of grass?" "Why?" I asked. "Because at home everything is very small, and there isn't much grass," he said. "It'll be fine," I said. "The sheep is very small." He looked again at the picture, and he said, "She's small, but she isn't very small," he said. Then he said, "Look, she's sleeping." I thought, "The boy understandsverb.(understood) 理解 my pictures."
