Two geniuses
Many people consider albert Einstein a
genius. This story about him shows that
he also had a sense of humour.
Einstein often received invitations to
explain his theories at different universities.
On these trips, his driver Hans often
said to him,
“
It
?
s a pleasure to drive a
genius like
you, Dr
Einstein.
”
One evening, on
their way to a university, Einstein said,
“
I
?
m
so tired. I wish I
could avoid giving
my lecture tonight, Hans, but I
don
?
t want to let my
audience
down.
”
“
I know what to
do,
”
said Hans.
“
I can give the lectured
for you. You can trust
me.
I
?
ve listened to your
lecture so many times that
I
?
ve learnt it by heart. No
one
knows you at this university, so
they won
?
t find
out.
”
So, they changed places. At the
university, Hans was guided to the front of the
in took a seat, listened to Hans give
his lecture without difficulty, and joined
in the applause at the end.
However, before Hans left, a man
shouted,
“
I
?
d like to ask you a
question.
”
He
then asked a question so difficult that
Hans had no idea what he was talking about.
Einstein turned
pale.
“
Oh
no!
”
he thought.
“
Now we are in trouble.
“
But Hans just
laughed and said,
“
That
?
s such and easy
question that even my driver can answer it.
Hans ,please.....
Einstein stood up and answered the
question perfectly. They left the university,
with Einstein driving. A little later,
Hans offered to drive.
“
No,
”
laughed Einstein.
“
It
?
s
a pleasure to drive a genius like you,
Hans
”
