　　一名哲学家喜欢哲学。他身体的力量很弱，但他的精神力量却很强。他注意到每一个琐碎的现象：钢琴家弹奏钢琴;物理学家是精通或研究物理学的人，并且他一定理解光电效应;内科医生和外科医生都清楚生理学;一名摄影师必须学过摄影术，这样他才能拍好照片。哲学家可以从一群人中间将他们辨认出来。并且因为他偶然学到一些物理知识和化学知识，他知道物质的东西是那些他可以看到和角摸的。太阳从西边出业从自然科学来说是不可能的。汽油可以由石油得来。他用简单的短语来向孩子们解释这些。不过这名哲学家正经历着困难的阶段。政府否决了他要求消灭害虫的请愿书。这让他有点悲观。但他不是一个气量小的人。于是他决定来次旅行。他挑拣出一保猫作为宠物陪伴自己。在去火车站的路上，他拾起一枚地上的硬币。然后他登上了去巴黎的火车。火车停下来中途搭载旅客然后增加速度前进。哲学家待在巴黎的时候学会了法语。
