How would you describe who Socrates was to children aged 8-10 years old?

I have a class on the history of poisons that is asking me to make a presentation for children on Socrates' death. The first part of the assignment is introducing him - how would anyone suggest I go about describing who Socrates was to children that are 8-10 years old?

He’s this kind of sassy old guy who gave self-important people a hard time in public by asking them really tough questions about stuff they claimed they knew.  It turned out that those people knew a lot less than they claimed they know and were pretty embarrassed and annoyed by the whole deal.   We don’t know a lot about what Socrates really said, but it seems like he made a big deal about trying hard to be good and being really honest with yourself about what kind of person you are and how much you know.  This inspired people to think really hard about stuff, and some of his students became famous writers and politicians.  But, the people he embarrassed dragged him to court and he ended up getting the death penalty because he was based and sassed his accusers and made them look stupid all over again.  He wasn’t going to act like a coward in his final moments and warned them that it was super unjust to kill innocent people, even sassy ones.

Basically, he’s like Khaby Lame, but instead of making fun of life hacks he made fun of powerful people.  Cancel culture was just way worse back then.
