One of the famous Greek philosophers observed a cat eating a mouse. The mouse had four legs. So did the cat. Interesting! A moments thought reminded him that wolves ate sheep, and both of them had four legs. A hawk was pursuing a sparrow. They both had two legs.

In it he explained that since the things he had observed were true, and since spiders had eight legs, flies must also have eight legs. Over a hundred years later, a little boy read the book.
