LITTLE JOHN´S BELLY BUTTON

Little John was four years, four months
and four days old. One day at bath time,
a doubt about the small hole in his belly
came to him. And the protagonist,
as should happen to all of us,
doesn’t like to leave any question unanswered.

Children go through the ‘why’ stage
when an inexhaustible curiosity for everything
that surrounds or concerns them
becomes an absolute necessity to find out
on their own. This way, being how the day to day
learning and natural process of growing
– imperceptible to oneself – comes about.
