Some hours later Holmes wakes up and wakes up his faithful friend. " Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you can see." I can see millions and millions of stars, Hol­mes, " replies Watson. " And what do you deduce from that? " Watson ponders for a minute. " Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially, billions of planets. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes? " Holmes is silent for a moment. " Watson, you're an idiot! " he says. " Someone has stolen our tent! "
