Images and interpretation of an image 2.

My 4-year-old granddaughter visited an exhibition in which I played with images and mirrors, which made the objects seem to change. A semicircular shape seemed to become a whole curve, a triangle placed on a mirror seemed to turn into a square. she asked me why I had put my objects on a mirror. I was very glad she asked and took one of the objects off the mirror. She was very surprised the reversed object she had seen in the mirror was gone. When she is older, I'll tell her 'the allegory of the cave'.

The younger generation and when they grow older, have intelligence but this sometimes comes at different times in a lifetime. ????
