Genius thought #7

I can just imagine Isaac Newton sitting under a tree t-h-i-n-k-i-n-g about gravity. And this little boy comes up and says in his little boy English accent, "'Ello sir, what are you doing?" And Newton's responds in his "grown-up" English accent,"Little boy, have you ever wondered why an apple falls from a tree?"
The little boy looks at him with a strange and puzzled look and say,"Everybody knows that! Because things fall down!"
