"Asked Socrates. The students struggled to find a small piece on the map, but compared with Asia, it was too small. "Where is Athens? "Asked Socrates. "Athens, it's even smaller, as if it were here." "The student pointed to a small point. At last Socrates looked at him and said, "now, show me, where is your vast field?" The students were sweating profusely, and his fields were not even glimpsed on the map. Embarrassed, he replied, "I'm sorry, teacher, I was wrong!" The story tells us a lot of things.
