Once upon a time, there was a young child born in Babylon. His father was famous and well-known for making idols and sculptures. As a young child, he used to watch his father sculpting these idols from stones or wood. When his father was done with them, he would use them as toys, riding on their backs, and kicking them at times. Then after a while, he would see these same statues in the temple, and people prostrating in front of them! The young child asked his father: "Why do you take these toys to the temple?" His father said: "They are statues that represent our gods. We worship them, we ask favors from them, and we offer them presents." The young child's mind rejected this idea, and he felt repulsion towards the idols.
