Morley's theorem states that, in any triangle, the intersections of its angle trisectors always determine an equilateral triangle. Dozens of proofs of this result are known. This paper, based on a 1923 proof by J. M. Child, is devoted to provide a quite simple one that relies on the symmetries on certain geometrical construction.
