I was more isolated than a shipwrecked sailor on a raft in the middle of the ocean.
Thus you can imagine my amazement, at sunrise, when I was awakened by an odd little voice.
It said: If you please--draw me a sheep!
What!
Draw me a sheep!
I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck.
I blinked my eyes hard.
I looked carefully all around me.
And I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me with great seriousness.
Here you may see the best portrait that, later, I was able to make of him.
