Invention

[Translated from the Russian]

Abi: Mama, who invented invention?

Mira: That's a great question. Nobody invented invention. It's a big mystery where it came from - how people became smart. Most animals can't make up new things.

Abi: I know where it came from! Either we got it from the apes, or God made us this way.

Mira: OK. If God made us this way, that answers the question. But if we got it from the apes, then we still don't know where it came from originally.

[Abi is still thinking about this one...]
