Number 1 of the books collection "Minerva's owl for children". Please, if you are English speaker and you see any mistake, tell me ASAP. Thanks!

2. HA, HA! COOL!
HELLO KIDS!
GOOD AFTERNOON!

3. GICHIN, THIS
IS WEIRD
I SEE

4. FINALLY I FOUND THE
CHILDREN I WAS SEARCHING
FOR. THE REST WERE NOT
SURPRISED
DON’T BE FRIGHTENED…

5. YOU ARE USING YOUR RATIONAL WAY OF THINKING. YOU ARE
RIGHT, I AM A CHARACTER OF A TALE.
REAL OWLS NEVER TALK. IN FACT, WE ARE ALL INSIDE A TALE. IN
MY REAL LIFE I AM A PHILOSOPHY TEACHER

6. WHAT ARE WE DOING IN A
TALE? ARE YOU A FRIEND?
I INFORM YOU THAT
I KNOW HOW TO DEFEND
MYSELF AND I HAVE A LOT
OF “KIME”

7. DON’T INTERRUPT HER GICHIN, I’VE
ALWAYS WANTED TO BE FAMOUS.
I’M GOING TO WEAR MY BEST
OUTFITS IN PUBLIC!
COME ON…

8. DON’T BE SCARED, I’M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
I JUST WAS LOOKING FOR SOME ADVENTUROUS CHILDREN
FOR TEACHING THEM HOW TO PHILOSOPHIZE

9. ME HA DICHO UN PAJARITO QUE EL AÑO PASADO OS
I WAS TOLD THAT LAST YEAR YOU WERE DISSAPOINTED
QUEJÁSTEIS PORQUE NINGÚN MAESTRO OS ENSEÑABA
BECAUSE NO TEACHER TAUGHT YOU PHILOSOPHY
FILOSOFÍA MIENTRAS QUE VUESTROS PRIMOS MAYORES
WHEREAS YOUR OLDER COUSINS KNEW A LOT OF
SABÍAN MUCHAS COSAS INTERESANTES Y GANABAN
INTERESTING THINGS AND WON ALL THE DEBATES
TODAS LAS DISCUSIONES FAMILIARES

10. THAT’S
RIGHT… “¡QUÉ ONDA!” WE WANNA
ENROLL IN THE COURSE!
WE ARE JUANITO AND ZOE
“¡SALUT!”
WE ARE GICHIN AND
NATASHA

11. ENTONCES YA ESTAMOS TODOS. SI HAY MUCHOS
IT’S ENOUGH. IF THERE WERE MORE CHILDREN
ALUMNOS ES UN LÍO. PODÉIS LLAMARME “PROFE” O
IT WOULD BE A COMPLETE CHAOS.
YOU CAN CALL “LECHUZA”
ME “TEACHER” OR “OWL”
“¡OK!”
OK!
Y ENTONCES… ¿QUÉ ES LA
SO… WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY?
FILOSOFÍA?

12. WAIT A SECOND, BEFORE THE “WHAT” LET’S SEE THE “WHEN”. MANY YEARS
AGO, DURING THE 6TH CENTURY B.C. IN GREECE , THERE WERE SOME CURIOUS
MEN. THEY ARE KNOWN AS THE FIRST PHILOSOPHERS…
HOW CAN I
UNDERSTAND THE
MOVEMENT OF
THE PLANETS?

13. THEY WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THE AMAZING FACTS THAT
HAPPEN IN NATURE, FOR EXAMPLE WHY IT RAINS
BUT IT IS EASY TO KNOW, OUR
TEACHER TOLD US ABOUT
THE WATER CYCLE. THERE ARE
SOME CLOUDS…

14. “EXCUSEZ MOI”, EASY? I KNOW ANOTHER
EXPLANATION. THERE IS AN AFRICAN
TRADICION WHICH SAYS THAT IF YOU
DANCE CARRYING A RAIN STICK,
GODS WILL CREATE RAIN

15. LISTEN, I HAVE A BOOK OF MYTHOLOGY WHICH
SAYS THAT GODDESS DEMETER MET HER
DAUGHTER IN SPRING, SO THAT THE FIELDS
BLOOMED
WHERE IS THE RELATIONSHIP?
IT’S A MYTH THAT I KNOW.
NA, NA, NAAAA…

16. LOOK! I HAVE A CONSOLE GAME
IN WHICH GOD THOR CREATES
THUNDERS WITH HIS HAMMER.
IT IS “LINDO”!
COME ON… I SAY THAT
THE CAUSE OF RAIN IS
WHAT TEACHER SAID
ABOUT THE
WATER CYCLE

17. BE QUIET…, KIDS. YOU ALL ARE RIGHT. IN FACT, FOR ALMOST ALL
NATURAL PROCESSES THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF EXPLANATIONS:
SOME OF THEM ARE MYTHICAL, FANTASTIC OR EVEN MAGIC AND
THE OTHERS ARE RATIONAL
MYTHS LOGOS
THE MAJORITY OF GREEK PEOPLE BELIEVED IN MYTHS BECAUSE
THEY DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN THINGS BETTER

18. HOWEVER, THE FIRST PHILOSOPHERS DISAGREED. THEY LOOKED FOR
BETTER AND LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS. THESE KIND OF EXPLANATIONS
ARE KNOWN AS “RATIONAL EXPLANATIONS” BECAUSE THEY USE
REASON TO FIND THE TRUTH. THAT’S HOW PHILOSOPHY STARTED…
DIDN’T THEY HAVE
PROBLEMS?
WELL, THEY HAD SOME
PROBLEMS…, BUT WE
MUST CONTINUE…

19. SOME HISTORIANS SAY THAT PHILOSOPHY IS “THE MOTHER OF
SCIENCES”. OTHERS SAY THAT
IT’S NOT THE MOTHER OF ALL OF THEM…
I WAS
ALREADY
HERE
WHAT DOES IT MEAN,
TEACHER?

20. IT MEANS THAT PHILOSOPHY IS A KNOWLEDGE SO ANCIENT
THAT SOME PARTS OF IT BECAME SCIENCES ALONG THE
CENTURIES
I’VE GROWN UP!
I’M GOING TO
TRAVEL
GOOD
BYE,
HONEY!
AND WHAT DOES
PHILOSOPHY DO
NOWADAYS?
ISN’T PHILOSOPHY A
SCIENCE ANYMORE?

21. NO, PHILOSOPHY IS NOT A SCIENCE ANYMORE. IT IS A
KNOWLEDGE, A DISCIPLINE. NOWADAYS SHE WORKS WITH THE
PARTS THAT ARE STILL WITH HER AND SHE THINKS ABOUT WHAT
SCIENCES ARE DOING
HA! WE HAVE
WOULD IT BE THE POWDER!
DANGEROUS?
HI MUM!
WHAT ARE
YOU
DOING?
WE HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT THE USE OF
POWDER

22. THAT’S WHY A GOOD PHILOSOPHER HAS TO KNOW
A BIT OF EVERYTHING
I THOUGHT
I HAD TO KNOW
JUST ONE THING
BUT VERY WELL
MY MUM SAYS
THAT
KNOWLEDGES
MAKE A WHOLE
ALL TOGETHER

23. YES, ALL THE KNOWLEDGES, EVEN ARTS, MAKE A WHOLE.
IMAGINE THAT CULTURE IS LIKE A SPONGE… PHILOSOPHY IS THE
GLUE THAT LINKS EVERYTHING AGAIN
BUT I WANT
THE
DEFINITION
YOU TELL THE
GROWN-
UPS…

24. OK: PHILOSOPHY IS A DISCIPLINE WHICH APPEARED IN GREECE
IN THE 6TH CENTURY B. C.
IT USES RATIONAL THINKING IN ORDER TO ANSWER
THE BIG QUESTIONS
AND WHAT ARE
THESE
QUESTIONS?

25. HA, HA, WE WILL SEE IT IN THE FOLLOWING TALE.
DID YOU LIKE THE CLASS?
YES!
YES!
YES! YES!

27. To all the children who have asked me what philosophy is
