One day a rich man was invited to dinner . He spent the day working in his garden . At sunset he did'nt have time to dress for the dinner . He went in his work clothes
When he arrived ,all the other guests were there . But nobody spoke to him. At dinner he was seated far from the host. No one spoke to him
He got up and went home . He washed . He dressed in fine clothes . Then he came back
Now the host said :"Come,sit beside me." The host passed the food to him. The man took the food and began putting it in his pockets. "Eat,clothes,eat " He said.The host was surprised at this. "What are you doing?" He asked
The man replied : "I'm feeding your guest . When I first came ,no one woud speak to me. After I changed my clothes ,you treated me as a special guest . I'm still the same man . So my clothes must be important to you . I'm just giving them their share of the food
This is a story about Isaac Newton . One morning he got up very early ,because he was working on a very difficult problem . He didnot leave it to go to breakfast . But his servant thought he needed food . Therefore , she went to his room with a pan of water and an egg
She wanted to boil the egg and stay with Newton until he ate it . But he didnot want to see anybody and said, "You can leave the egg with me . I'll boil it
The servant put the egg on the table near newton's watch and said :"You must boil it for five minutes . Then it will be ready to eat
The servant left the room , but she was afraid that Newton might forget to eat the egg . She returned about an hour later and found Newton standing by the fire . The watch was boiling in the pan and Newton was standing near it with the egg in his hand
