The idea is to consider a model of the naturals that obeys all axioms other than induction, and to then show how this model fails to be a model of induction. Thus, induction does not follow from the peano aximos minus the induction axiom. We build a model of naturals as where we define the successor on as and . Now let's try to prove for all . holds as . It is also true that if , then . However, it is NOT true that since it does not hold for . So we really do need induction as an axiom to rule out other things.
