The theory of evolution

Little John was a very curious boy. He was interested in everything that surrounded him. He constantly asked his parents questions about space, animals and plants. John’s parents were very patient and educated people who wanted to answer all their son's questions.

One day the father decided to explain the theory of evolution to him. Since John was only five years old, his father tried to explain in simple words:

– Your great-great-great-grandfather was descended from monkeys.

Perplexed, the boy answered:

– Really!? I thought people were descended from aliens.

– Of course not! A famous scientist proved that our ancestors were monkeys.

A day later, the father decided to check his son’s understanding of what he had learned. He asked his son to explain the meaning of Darwin's theory. John answered cheerfully:

– Dad, of course I understood everything, I'm not stupid after all! My great-grandfather was a monkey!
