For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He failed physics in high school, getting a grade of zero.

Sparky was not good at Latin and English, either. He didn’t do much better in sports. Although he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he lost the only important match of the season. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. He was surprised if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours.

Sparky was a loser. However, one thing was important to Sparky — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. In his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook. The cartoons were rejected (拒绝). Despite this particular rejection, Sparky was so confident of his ability that he decided to become a professional artist.

  After completing high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some pieces of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. Sparky drew the cartoon. He spent a great deal of time on it and on all the other drawings. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios. He had been rejected once again. Another loss for the loser.

  So Sparky decided to draw his own autobiography (自传) in cartoons. He described his childhood — a little boy loser. The cartoon character soon became famous worldwide. For Sparky, the boy who had such lack of success in school and whose work was rejected again and again was Charles Schulz. He created the “Peanuts” comic strip (连环画) and the little cartoon character whose kite never flew and who never succeeded in kicking a football — Charlie Brown.
