        Once Einstein travelled to many places in America to give a lecture. He travelled in a car,and soon made friends with his driver. Einstein gave the same lecture again and again. The driver always sat in the front of the lecture room and listened to the famous scientist carefully.

        One day,when they got to a small town in the south,the driver told Einstein that he knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself. Einstein smiled and said ,“Why don't you give the lecture for me tonight?” “ All right. Let me try，” answered the driver.

        That evening,both Einstein and the driver went along to the lecture room. Nobody there had seen Einstein before. At first the driver was a bit afraid.“Go on with your lecture. Don't be afraid,” Einstein said with a smile. It made the driver feel better. Now he wasn't afraid any more.

        When the driver took his place,everybody applauded. Then he began the lecture. He put his heart into it and gave a good lecture. When it was over,the people warmly applauded. The driver turned to look at Einstein. There was a smile on his face. He could see that the great scientist was quite pleased.

        Then the driver started to leave and Einstein followed him quietly. Just when they got to the door,a man stopped them and asked the driver a very difficult question.
