Boys, like girls, admire the mystery of motherhood; all children have an 'in depth' imagination that makes them sense secret riches inside things; they are all sensitive to the miracle of 'nesting,' dolls that contain other, smaller dolls, boxes containing other boxes, vignettes identically reproduced in reduced form; they are all enchanted when a bud is unfolded before their eyes, when they are shown a chick in its shell or the surprise of 'Japanese flowers' in a bowl of water.
