In the ancient times, somewhere in Greece, a young woman named Aphrodite closed her eyes while rotating her head to work out her neck after a long day of exhausting work with Teophrastus who gave her a pile of crystals and minerals to go over before tomorrow. Deciding to take a break, she stood up and stretched, and while doing it she saw the great scientist doing the same in the next room. He sent her his strange smile which had always been giving her some nervous tension. He came to her and caressed her hair, asking:

“Are you tired?”

She nodded, but said nothing and devoted herself to the work started.
Teopharastus smiled at her diligence and went out to get some fresh air. It was very late in the night, he walked through the garden and on his return to the house, he did not find Aphrodite, only her message on the table. “I am too tired to continue. And besides, ...” Teopharastus smiled thinking what had she been about to write but had not done it.

The next day when she came to work again, he showed her a special kind of stone with insects trapped in it and told her how old it was. After hearing such interesting things, she never got tired helping him, again, and he understood that people must comprehend things they do in order to love them.
