In the wonderment of this taxonomy, the thing we apprehend in one great leap, the thing that, by means of the fable, is demonstrated as the exotic charm of another system of thought, is the limitation of our own, the stark impossibility of thinking that.

I thought one had to tell the truth in court. I thought if someone didn't, she didn't get her milk and cookies.
