One day, to his terror, a lion came to that cave, limping and groaning piteously. At first the slave was frightened and was about to run away, but when the lion held up its paw in a pitiful way, he stopped to look at it. There was a big thorn sticking in his paw. The slave at once pulled it out, and the lion and he became friends, living comfortably for sometime together in the cave.

But one day the slave was caught and brought back to the town where his master lived. There he was condemned to be thrown to a famished lion. When the fierce and hungry beast was let loose upon him, it rushed at the poor, trembling slave, but when it came near him it suddenly stopped, smelled at the slave and then leaped around him full of joy and licked his hands and feet.

Many people regard Albert Einstein as one of the twentieth century’s greatest geniuses. He was a physicist whose researches into the working of the universe helped other scientists create such things as nuclear energy, space travel and television. Stories about Einstein show that he had a great sense of humour. One such story tells that as a young man with a growing reputation, Einstein received many invitations to go to universities to explain his theories. In these trips he was always chauffeured by the same person- a man called Hans. One evening, on their way to a remote university, Einstein said, “I wish I didn’t have to give my lecture tonight, Hans. I’m so tired. But I can’t let my audience down, Can I?”

“You don’t need to,” said Hans, We’ll change places and I’ll give the lecture for you. I’ve listened to it dozens of times. I don’t understand it, but I know it by heart. And no one knows you at the university, do they? No one will find out.” Einstein eventually agreed with Hans, but said to him, “Don’t try to answer any questions, whatever you do.” They changed places, and at the university Hans was greeted and led to the platform in a great Hall crowded with professors and students. Einstein joined the audience and listened to Hans give his lecture perfectly, and joined in the applause at the end.

However, before Hans could get off the platform, a professor shouted from the audience, “I’d like to ask you a difficult question, but please answer it.” He then asked a question so difficult that Hans had no idea what he was talking about. Einstein thought, “Oh! Dear, now we’re in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and said, “That’s not a difficult question, sir. In fact, it’s so easy even my driver knows how to answer it. Hans, Stand up and answer the question.”

Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly. They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later, Hans offered to take over from him. “No, my friend,” laughed Einstein, “it’s a pleasure to drive a genius like you.”

 

  1. Frame sentences using the words :
  1. receive b) difficult  c) agree  d) genius.
  1. How did the research work of Einstein help the other scientists?
  2. What was the idea given by Hans to Einstein?

A king put his court to a test for an important post. Powerful and wise men stood around him in great numbers. “You wise men”, said the king, “I have a problem, and I want to see who of you is in a position to solve it.” He led the men to a huge door, bigger than anyone had ever seen. The king explained, “Here you see the biggest and heaviest door in my kingdom. Who among you can open it?” some of the courtiers just shook their heads. Others, who were counted among the wise men, looked at the door more closely, but admitted they couldn’t do it. When the wise men had said this, the rest of the court agreed that this problem was too hard to solve. Only one vizier went up to the door. He checked it with his eyes and fingers, tried many ways to move it, and finally pulled on it with a hefty tog. And the door opened. It had just been left ajar, not completely shut and nothing more had needed but the willingness to realize it and the courage to act boldly. The king spoke, “You will get the position at the court, for you don’t rely just on what you see or hear; you put your own powers into action and risk a test.”
