Children’s imagination

Today my little brother sent me a picture that he drew yesterday. At first glimpse, I was reluctant to look the messy picture. However, after my brother’s explanation and a clear look, I found it was interesting.

The name of the picture is “The earth was attached by undefined flying object”. The black part is the universe. The rounded shape is definitely the earth. The white spots surrounded the earth are UFOs (we can know that on my brother’s perspective, the shape of UFOs do not necessarily be round). As a child, he has no sense about every continent on the earth should be displayed. Therefore, he drew out the earth that he thinks should be. It includes Taiwan (the smallest green spot on the above right-hand side of the earth), the Pacific Ocean (the blue area aside Taiwan which wrote a Chinese character”太”), the Dead Sea (the blue area on the above left-hand side which wrote a Chinese character “死”),and the Bermuda (the blue area on the below of the earth which wrote a Chinese Character”百” ). And the thick and thin black lines are the beams aliens used to attach the earth. I appreciated his masterpiece. It let me understand him more about his thoughts and the knowledge he gained in school or on his reading. It seems all the children at his age like to imagine earth are attached or controlled by something and believe it is true. It’s really interesting!
