"The Greeks loved asking questions — BIG questions. People who did this were called <strong>philosophers</strong>, which means 'lovers of wisdom.' Three of the most famous were <strong>Socrates</strong>, <strong>Plato</strong>, and <strong>Aristotle</strong>. Each one taught the next, like a chain of teachers!",
"Socrates walked around Athens asking people question after question: What is fairness? What is courage? How do you know? He believed questions help us think better. Plato, his student, opened a famous school called the Academy. Aristotle, Plato's student, studied EVERYTHING — animals, stars, weather, and how to think clearly.",
"You are a philosopher too! Every time you ask 'Why?' or wonder 'Is that fair?' or 'How does that work?', you are doing exactly what the great Greek thinkers did. Asking good questions is how all learning starts."
