The Sage of Einar

Laura, who was having breakfast, looked at Daven with a smile and prepared herself because in the morning Mom Kassia had explained to them that today she would see a real bacterium.

This caused true happiness among all the children because it was something that they had been waiting for from the moment in which Papa Einar told them about all the microorganisms that were in the environment.

"Daven you are not quite excited because for the first time we are going to be able to see those microscopic things that Papa Einar had always told us about.

I can\'t wait to finish this delicious breakfast so I can go to the patio where Papa Einar may be waiting for us. "

Daven who was biting a piece of seal meat looked at Laura with a smile "Remember what Papa Einar told us that we had to eat calmly.

Well, we can suffer an accident if we do not eat with caution, and breakfast is also very tasty for anyone who wants to eat more quickly.

Although I am curious to see them since I do not understand how something so small can do so much damage to our body.

But I am sure of one thing and that is that when I see those things, maybe something will wake me up, because if I can find ways to be able to face those little microscopic creatures.

The lives of all of us will be able to improve just as Papa Einar was able to vaccinate all of us so that we would not be affected by that disease called smallpox ... "

Daven stopped talking because he could see with joy as Papa Einar entered the great room.

"Children, I just got back from Gerd\'s workshop and I bring with me the first microscope of our tribe, although it is not very powerful it will allow us to see bacteria and other things that are in the water.

So I will be waiting for you on the patio of the great room while I prepare everything so take your time to be able to have breakfast in the right way, remember that no one is pressuring you, and even if you finish before you will have to wait until you finish preparing everything you need. "

After saying those words, Einar went out with his wife to the patio to start preparing a wooden table where he would show the children some examples of organic material so that they could see correctly how it looked through the microscope.

Kassia for her part took the microscope from Einar\'s hands and began to review it as it was something quite new for her.

"It is fantastic that something as small as this can open the doors to a new world for us, it is a shame that we have not been able to do it before but what matters is that now we can use it.

Could you please show me how to use it I really want to see the microbes you always told me about I would even love to see some cell or white blood cell doing its job. "

Einar smiled and taking some time he opened the wooden box and using tweezers decided to take a piece of grass from the ground which he slowly placed on the amber sheets.

After carefully sealing the patch of grass using the two amber sheets, he showed Kassia how it should be placed in the receptacle behind the microscope.

"This little microscope can help you show some bacteria, and you might even see a white or red blood cell.

But unfortunately making a simple microscope you will not be able to see them more clearly how I would like to show them to you, but nevertheless, this small simple microscope is only the beginning.

Now just place the microscope in front of your eye and remember to place it where the light comes from so you can see how the cells that make up the piece of grass look like.

If you want to better accommodate the focus, just use the screw behind it. "

Kassia who was listening to Einar\'s words follow all his steps to the letter and then when she put her eye close to the biconvex lens.

A big smile formed on her face because for the first time she could see the cells that made up an organism such as grass.

In her eyes, she could see some beautiful and fantastic figures in the shape of hills which had hundreds of pores, also in the middle of the hills he could see some yellow things.

But what caught his attention the most was seeing filaments that looked like thorns on the hills.

"Einar, this is surprising. All the things that I can see, I am even appreciating a small insect that looks like it ended up dying due to the pressure of the two amber plates.

All my life searching for the answers as to why diseases existed and in just a few months you have changed my perception of the world.

Einar I… "

Kassia could no longer continue speaking as tears began to flow from her eyes, so Einar stopped what he was doing and hugged her.

"You don\'t have to cry Kassia, everything I do is only for the welfare of you and the tribe.

We will have a lot of time to be able to record all the information about microorganisms, and although I can remember some, my knowledge about them is very minimal.

For what in theory we would be naming the vast majority of all microorganisms, it is a task that will take us a lifetime.

But I am willing to do it with you who knows, maybe our children like what we do so much that they end up following our steps to discover all the microorganic life that exists.

So Kassia please don\'t cry anymore, the children can see you sad. "

Kassia who was much better hugged Einar and gave him a kiss.

"You always know how to keep me happy, you are a cheater."

Einar wiped Kassia\'s tears and smiled at her "For me, the greatest joy is to see you and Helmi happy, in the future, our children will also be my greatest happiness.

That is why seeing you cry only makes me somewhat stressed, you can be sure that I will do everything possible so that she is always well and happy. "

While the two of them were lost in their own world, some small applause began to be heard and at that moment Kassia and Einar turned their faces and they could see the children who were clapping with happiness.

Einar gave them a smile and then gave Kassia a big kiss.

"Thank you very much for your support in them, but since you are here, you should take your sand slates because today you are going to know what the grass is like by seeing it microscopically.

So you will have to draw it as best they can on their sandboard so that later I can show them what a drop of saliva looks like and what a drop of blood looks like. "

After saying those words, all the children quickly ran to the warehouse to pick up their sand slates. Once they had all had it Einar went from place to place to show them what the grass looked like through the microscope.

Laura, who was the fourth to pass, looked through the microscope and could see the beautiful pattern of the grass, so using her finger she tried to imitate how the grass looked under the microscope.

After a while, he managed to draw the grass that can be seen through the microscope as best he could.

"Papa Einar that was extremely beautiful to see through the microscope. We can have more classes with him because I would like to continue looking at the world through his little lens."

Einar stroked Laura\'s head and smiled at her "Of course, every two days they will have a special class in which you can see the world through a microscope.

But not only are you going to see it but you are also going to be participants in history because you are the first people on the planet to be able to see all the wonderful things that we cannot see with the naked eye.

In the future, all of you are going to help Mama Kassia and me, because we will have to give names to all the microorganisms that we discover while using the microscope.

That is why I want you to learn what the microscopic world is like so that in the future you too can make discoveries that benefit the whole tribe and maybe the whole world. "

Laura, who was extremely happy, continued to use her finger to draw in the sand because she wanted to make her drawing more exact.

When it was Daven\'s turn, the little boy, seeing through the lens, was quite surprised and, unlike Laura, he only swallowed because he could no longer see the grass with the same eyes.

Because he already had more questions than answers, from why does the grass have holes, which are those little mounds that have thorns but even more important are those things in the middle.

With some courage he raised his face and looked at Papa Einar "Papa Einar, can I borrow your microscope so I can see things better?"

Einar, who was surprised by the surprising question of what did Daven do to him, just bent down and looked at him with affection.

"At the moment this microscope can only be used for us, but today I will make another three orders for one more week.

There may be a microscope just for you, that way you will only have to borrow the microscope from Aila.

Who will take care of it, but for the moment if you want to use it a little more you can come and find me after eating because it is the time when I will be using it together with mother Kassia.

I think that in this way you will be able to take advantage of all the knowledge that we are generating and even if you do not understand anything I am sure that in the future you will be able to achieve great results. "
