Sharpening That First Pointy Stick - Robert Goddard - History of the ICBM - 1

Once there was a proto-man called Thag. Thag watched the crows and figured out that if he sharpened the end of a stick it was useful for all sorts of things. Unfortunately, Thag had a brother named Cain, who promptly took the pointy stick and poked out both of Thag's eyes.

Looks innocent enough, but then Goddard was inspired by reading H.G. Wells.
